    Just wondering aloud, anyone noticed the mutual admiration societies that seem to exist in some threads/forums, where two people constantly thank each others posts?

    I'm not going to name names (yet) more research, searching and correlation to be done but anyone have thoughts on it

    Obviously relationships will develop from boards! But thanking someones post doesn't make out you're having an affair with them!

    I thank lots of posts, if I agree with the poster I'll thank it!

    Im not having an affair with anyone

    :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,380 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    i'm jealous too:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,916 ✭✭✭shopaholic01


    It might be two people who have the same opinion. I thank posts that I agree with or if I find them funny or witty.

    I even thank posts that I don't agree with if they make me rethink my own viewpoint.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    I thanked the OP because I'm shagging him.

    Unsure whether to thank this or not as my posts get so many thanks I can't keep track of who I am shagging and I wouldn't want to upset anyone....:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,494 ✭✭✭The_Gatsby


    If only I could thank my own posts....


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 26,403 Mod ✭✭✭✭Peregrine


    I've noticed that I thank a few certain posters a lot and likewise they thank mine quite a lot too. But it's always because I agree with their viewpoint and we're usually on the same side not because I'm shagging them :confused:

    Unfortunately :(

    One poster has been banned for being incapable of posting in After Hours without flirting despite being warned many, many times.

    Flirting forum here or take it to PM.
