mafig Posted February 1, 2020 #151 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) I also use it when I think the post is funny....or clever. For clever I might also use the like. I last used the smiley face for "you can smell the cheapness" because I thought it was funny, and clever, I could also have used the like, I guess.

Pinboy Posted February 1, 2020 #152 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I really do appreciate the guidance and suggestions I have been receiving from folks that have been long time posters. Too bad I can't contact them personally . Being new to this, I find it very difficult to maintain my composure and stay within the Guidelines when I see people purposely trying to get negative reactions that they know are deserved.

Are they laughing at the poster , as in making fun of the post, or that they enjoy the post ? Thanks Yes! It all depends on the context. Also, those with thick skins "know" that people are laughing with them, while those who are less self-assured are convinced that the posters are laughing at them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that the best bit of advice that I can offer about joining a new board is to lurk for a while to get a feel for it. Then start posting on a safe subject, something less contentious than gratuities, as you continue to read and learn. Just remember that spring and golf are just around the corner! ⛳🏌️ Edited February 1, 2020 by Fouremco 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people can be very unkind on the boards - think what it would be like privately! 😮 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal messaging has never been activated on the CC website (at least not in the 10 years that I've been on the boards). The 'ignore' function however, does work quite well -- and can be your best friend!😎 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
