@hawaii_jake, @jaytkay, @muppetish That’s my habit too. If I fail to do so, it’s either because I slipped up, or because I withhold Lurve on certain opinions types of questions. Opinions disguised as questions don’t get Lurve if they express an opinioin I find repugnant. For instance, “How come all ______s are so impolite?” It doesn’t matter what racial, religious or ethnic or minority group fills in the blank, that’s a question that won’t get any Lurve from me. Oh, also easily Googled questions and obvious “Please do my homework for me.” questions get no Lurve. The most I’ll give a do-my-homework question is, if they appear to be really stuck on it and not just lazy, some guidance on how they can do it themselves.
@harple & @muppetish Same here. I’ll give such a question Lurve and click the follow button so I can read the answer when it comes in. Great feature, that follow button. It saves giving a lame answer just to stay in the loop till a worthwhile one comes along.
@Simone_De_Beauvoir, @marinelife, @wundayatta, @rooeytoo, @Pied_Pfeffer, @Hypocrisy_Central, @Cruiser & @lillycoyote Thanks. I haven’t read any guidelines, so I have no idea how Fluther “wants” us to approach the issue. That’s why I asked.
Bless my point-fairy soul, I gave all these answers a GA point because they are all exactly that, what I asked for, how you individually decide.
@Pied_Pfeffer Ha! I don’t think I’d bother to answer a poll about how many toes I have, much less give it a GQ mark.
@Doctor_D Thanks. Good analysis of the psychology behind GQ clicks. :-)
@lillycoyote Interesting thought about multiple ratings.
