what is the purpose of the +1 in a forums?
« on: March 29, 2011, 11:39:14 PM »
I was always under the impression that +1 means that you understand what the guy b4 you is saying and you agree with him. Therfore, statements like +1 if it works or things like that, don't make sense. Am I wrong??

I put this in just shmooze so no one can accuse me of post pading. This is a serious question.

+1 can have many meanings, but usually it means that u agree to the previous post/er or that u have the same question as him.
In order to understand recursion, you first need to understand recursion.

+0.75. It could also mean that you agree and/or had the same thing in mind. No only when talking about a question.

If you don't like +1 you can react with a -1.

It IS the just shmooze section...most forums have one for people to talk about random and stupid things...
Call it the lounge, the off topic section, or just shmooze... it has the same purpose
