Popular Post Lacessit Posted April 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2023 I am cursed or blessed with an inquiring mind. I would like to know - who or what is somebody? He/she/it never starts a topic, or posts on a thread. There is no avatar. The only evidence of somebody's presence on ASEAN are the emoticons posted in response to posts by other members. Is somebody just preternaturally shy, or do we have AI in our midst? 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course, the Notifications we receive. "Somebody" seems to react to evey single one of my posts. somebody reacted to a post in a topic Chuwit vows to continue his crusade against the Bhumjaithai Party and marijuana despite order I assume it's some "engagement" tactic (setting) meant to encourage participation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right, although I notice not all my posts are flagged. If your hypothesis is correct, maybe the emoticons are randomly generated. I suggest buying a lottery ticket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalking is when someone persistently posts negative emoticons to a poster, I have had that a couple of times. Somebody does not seem to do that, the worst I have had is one confused emoticon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KannikaP Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) It would make much more sense to put 'YOUR POST GOT A REACTION' or something similar instead of this silly 'someone' without even being capitalised. 'somebody' found this suggestion confusiong. Come on 'somebody', tell me why please. Edited April 7, 2023 by KannikaP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Bones Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) I'm thinking there was a court case in Aus and the outcome was against defamation in "comments". Seems the papers could be held high for publishing damaging commenting words. I never followed the story but I notice that Aus papers have very few comments. Happy to be shown wrong.????????

Why do you worry so much about emojis, which only represent someone's opinion of your comment, that you rate them? Which is the "best" one?
