    People are feeling victimized by receiving likes and lols?
    Funny, I can use a few to become a member right about now.
    Anyway. If you receive a like or a lol just remember that such things are up for interpretation. Maybe they found something funny in your post that you didn't notice?

    Either way keep your chin up darling and don't let something so insignificant get you into a fuss.

    @Astro thank you so much for the welcome! :)

    I would have quoted you but it doesn't work well for us new members. Perhaps another time.
    I'm happy to see that not everyone is troubled in a fighting mood.

    It's not a matter of feeling victimized; they are making it something offensive. I saw posts where people were talking about diseases who were LOLed for no reason.

    I do think that people, in general, need to grow a 'thicker' skin and learn how to take criticism. It's not always meant as a personal attack. And I refuse to play the victim. I'm a survivor. Roll with the punch, peeps, that's the only way to get through life, intact. Humor is also a help. I use LOL when the post amuses me. If I have something to say about it, I'll post with a quote or @ the poster. Beyond that I'll hit the like button if I like what's said.

    Remember, we're here to discuss a game we all enjoy (or in some cases, are hoping to enjoy) and we don't need to bash each other in the process. Buttons were removed through the gross abuse of them. Don't expect them to return.

    But, as my Father always said, "It's okay to ask."

If you can't see why I am getting defensive then sorry but it is extremely frustrating to me. And usually when one persons posts has no lols and the rest of them in the thread do its kind of obvious who did it since you cant lol your own posts.

    Why are you playing the victim? You are a lol troll yourself, and a very insidious, very conniving person. The type of person that acts all innocent, meanwhile churning out LOLs for people you dislike (and over a dumb game) & gossiping every chance you get. If you don't care for other people's feelings, why should they care for yours? You think you're a special snowflake, and when someone calls you out on your nonsense, you cry foul. You'd throw your best friend under the bus if it suited you and your massive ego, and not think twice about it or look back.

    Good to know you're in jail. It should've happened long ago. Strange how you changed your profile name right after the lol troll business. What's wrong? Got caught red-handed being one of the lol trolls? I don't think changing your username's going to help.

    Lols are seriously being used as a replacement to disagree now. Just remove them..

    Some of the misplaced "lols" are indeed due to reading posts on very small screens, especially mobile smartphones.

    I would suggest an option to reverse a mistake of a "click" lol instead of "move" page up.

    A lot of newspapers are particularly bad at putting the red dislike arrow at the extreme right of the screen.

    I don't think it should be fully removed, but there should be an option to disable it for your own profile. Getting loled on a serious post is a terrible feeling, tbh. I can get over it, I suppose, but it did affect me in a harmful way for... a few minutes. I don't know, it'd be more convenient for people, especially for those who got loled on posts about a irl death or a health issue. Small things like that can mess with people, badly. This isn't even a special snowflake situation here, as it seems a lot of people are getting upset about this. So, again, there should be an option.

    Did you ever look at the fact that when you get LOLed you are getting positive forum points?

    that don't change the fact that it is hurtfull to get loled at a serius post about unhappy things. beside you don't get them for every lol.



    thats said I do not want it removed, some use it badly... but some also use the alpahbeth badly to post things on the forum.
    I rater that there be some way to take care of thoses using it to make fun of others.

    there is also the fact of slipping fingers... if your on a tablet it can be hard, and I have hit lol with out wanting to (if I see it then I ofcourse remove it) when just scroling
    or people smiling with you at something more happy in the post.

    then there is does that use it to disagree and thats wrong... but thats why I liked that we hade the agree and disagree buttons last year.

    for the bad day posts I some times wish we had a "hug/I feel for you" button... as I don't want to like a sad post, but do want to expres "I see you, but have no words"

    I just find it so odd that people take a little button click so seriously. It might be one thing if a real life friend or loved one laughed at something you said in a serious way but to get upset over a lol in a forum....I just don't get it. I get LOLed quite often...I just feel bad that the person clicking that button isn't articulate enough to express themselves with words. That's just sad and I feel sorry for them that they aren't able to put a sentence together.

    If your in an emotional state, it takes less to get more Hurt.
    To click on lol at a serious post like that (people takeing about sickness or love one that died and the like) is just plan mean.
    I do not find it odd that people can get Hurt, i do find it odd when people don't see why it might Hurt.
    But yes it is sad that some find the need to laugh at others misfortune, that doesn't makes it right, or that we have to acept it and do nothing about it.
