FabSwingers.com forum: Ok ... own up

Who else follows the green arrow if you like or dont appreciate what another Forumite posts?

...do we all do it? does no one do it? do you just do it when someone else mentions it in a thread?

...do you do it when it's a Fab friend or someone on your hotlist?

Or, do you do it to see who's chasing who around the Forums?

Maybe, you've only just now found out about it!

If i see a dodgy thread I look at the green arrow and also if I see someone being argumentative, I look to see if it's the norm for them.

I only use it on people whose posts make me laugh. There are a select few I find seriously witty, so I like to see if they've posted anything that I've missed. I would never do it on someone if I don't like what they've said. Life's too short.

I tend to only do it if there's drama or complaints or requests for advice, to see if that person is just always posting the same stuff.

It can be useful before bothering to type a detailed response, when I can see that they've posted the same post a few times and ignored the thoughtful responses given.

I tend not to do it to people I'm perving over.

If I'm not sure about someone's intentions in a thread, I will green arrow them. Sometimes it's not clear if they've just said something clumsily or whether they intended to be offensive. Or maybe someone I fancy and I want to see what else they've said.

I usually only do it when someone says something stupid or obnoxious and I go back to remind myself of their last stupid or obnoxious post.

I've never used it for anyone I know.

I use it mainly when someone apparently appears, and ask how to improve their profile, a quick check and they've asked multiple times before. So I don't bother trying to help.

I rarely use it otherwise

Also only found out about it recently and it hardly ever crosses my mind to use it, probably because I lived happily without it for so long.
