If someone posts something that makes me chuckle, I’ll lol it.
If someone posts something I disagree with or I think is stupid, I ignore it.Those who issue sarcastic lol’s as a way of showing disagreement or belittling, I think are pathetic considering you’re all meant to be adults and I look upon with disdain.
lol away…
In an ideal world what you would like and what is actually happening are considerably different.
I for one am disappointed by your reply as it would seem you aren’t about to even consider giving folks an option of some kind and keep things as they are.
Am I right?1 -

I use for two reasons:
option a) i genuinely found funny
b) post is ridiculous or you cant be serious
I know the second one isn't really good for the forum and promotes a negative reaction but the only way around that is literally have a WTF button1 -

I make sure that if I make a serious point that people may disagree with, I include a joke in the post.Then when I get lol’d, my confidence lacking ego can pretend that I got a lol for being funny, rather than the painful truth of my point being shite.12

I’ve always assumed the LOL to be a stronger indication of “Like” and it never occurred to me there would be a negative connotation.0

Can we not bring back the flag option? That was good fun.2

I think we should be able to give each post a score, 1 to 10.1= massively disagree, 10 = massively agree.The algorithm would then show a running average score for each post, with the lifer with the highest score for a single post in a calendar month winning a fabulous prize like dinner at Bartram Towers, and the lifer with the lowest score ‘winning’ dinner at ‘Spoons with Elfsborg (with Elfsborg paying).The lol button could be supplemented by a ROTF button, and perhaps perhaps there could even be a Whoosh button.If the mods could get that up and running by the weekend we could have a seven day trial period.
No lols for this post please.3 -
Always thought LOL was Lots Of Love1

I read the option forwards if I have one intention, and backwards if I have another.0

I had assumed that all the LOL's I've amassed are because of my great wit. I am crestfallen to learn that this may not be the case.

Scrap the likes and the lols. Just be honest with each other if you disagree with a comment but in a constructive manner0

I find it frustrating that you can’t like and LOL something. Maybe an option to like and LOL and another option for like quite a lot and a bit LOL. And, perhaps an option for like a lot but only very slightly LOL. Then again, it’s not really a LOL if it’s only very slightly, I suppose.0
