LOL option?

edited December 2016 in General Charlton
Do you tend to use it because something is genuinely funny or because you are taking the piss, making fun of or disagreeing with the recipient?
Speaking for myself, I am never sure quite how it's going to be interpreted.

  • If I think it's funny. Of course I don't genuinely laugh out loud most of the time.

    I thought you need an increase in LOL's
  • From time to time...all 4 of those options. Which I think is perfectly valid.
  • Well, it seems to me that maybe admin might like to think of one or two more options for the sake of clarity.
    Though you won't be surprised to know that I have no idea if that's technically possible?

    I quite like that there isn't a dislike button but I think it can be disrespectful when people 'lol' opinions they don't agree with instead of actually articulating why.

    I tend to only click 'lol' when something actually makes me laugh out loud.
  • It should just be used for things you find funny, not disagree with. If you disagree with something, comment and say why.

    Hmmm...this seems a very North Vietnamese, controlling edict! Have you gone over to the dark side D?? :wink:

    What if I disagree with something and can't be arsed to explain why?

    True Bart......and you might even think of starting a thread actually putting that idea / edict across.
    Problem is, that will clarify things for a few months or so but new posters or posters that don't see or read the thread won't know your take on the matter.
    Would you not consider some further options?
  • I assume when I get a LOL it is because I am a marvelously funny guy. If any of you bastards are being sarcastic then you've failed :smiley:

  • Lol quiz: real vs pisstake


    "Guy Luzon will be our Alex Ferguson"
    80 lols

    That was in the Joke Thread though to be fair.

    Well thanks 3B......I think!
  • There are some comments that literally make you spit your tea over your computer key board and that's a genuine LOL. Then there are occasions when someone might say that KM is a goddess and that's a 'you're having a laugh' moment but equally deserve a LOL
  • And sometimes people say something that is so ridiculous and unbelievable that you spit your tea out.

    Also worth a LOL and then ideally a post saying why.
  • It should just be used for things you find funny, not disagree with. If you disagree with something, comment and say why. Unless its an stupid that you just have to laugh out loud!

    Fixed!
  • If I laugh at a comment I LOL it. I do find it hard to flag someone though. If I see something offensive I usually just think that person is a moron and they have to live with that which is hard enough.
  • Not sure the LOL button on my posts works. Could you all test it out for me.

    Thanks.
  • I raise you a Doh!
  • Should be and extra button. Lol for funny and Lol - if you don't like the comment.
  • I click LOL if i find something amusing or if i think a post is absolutely ridiculous.

    If i agree, i'll like it and usually add a comment saying why.

    Don't think i've ever flagged anyone.
