You look amazing Sara!

Hey, what do I know, right? I think the best answer is "Of course. Isn't it obvious?" Then maybe ask, 'Would you like to know other ways to collect likes?

Over time your 'real' personality comes across. I think the majority of people here recognize there are language issues. My thinking is one only needs to apologize when they decide they were out of line or truly regret something. Mistakes and language goofs are more of an acknowledgement thing... Oops stuff.

Hence I post less here and there. I think that "likes" function, as @moirakathleen has just expressed so well on another thread, as a way of bonding us together as a community, and acknowledging each other. Worrying about who gets more of them is I think pretty silly, and undercuts that purpose. This thread is not a photo competition, a beauty pageant, nor even a popularity contest: it's a place to share, meet, and chat. Or it should be: if it isn't, I think you're doing it wrong, myself. Sure, it's nice to get likes, but you or anyone else has my permission to not bother responding to my pics. That's not really what makes me feel at home here anyway.

No, it's not. Foremost, subjectively, this thread is about individual (graphical) expression, which can be merited with likes or not. I do find however there' s a grouptank in here disabling just that. And most are too involved with that to give an honest like when there should be one.

I honestly like everything I give reactions to. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After toying for a while with the idea of being a vampire, and rejecting it, I'm now a wolf. And a darn purty one too. I have to say that I really liked the look you had developed for yourself as a human, both in terms of your avatar and your style. However, your father and I have talked this through, and we both want you to know that we love you, and are completely supportive of you, whatever direction you might choose for yourself. Even if it means that our future grandchildren will need to be taken for walks and brushed regularly during molting season. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoiraKathleen Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 48 minutes ago, TDD123 said: I did notice that most here 'like' WHO they like without regard to the actually graphic being posted This thread, in my opinion, has always been about "how does your avatar look today?" regardless of how well or how bad one is at taking and processing photos. If you knew the person who started it - he appeared to be to be pretty zany and had a lot of different 'looks', and liked to have fun - so I generally think of this thread in that sense. It is true that over time, there has been more emphasis on the graphic quality part, but that is a reflection of the interest of some people posting now who have been interested in, and sharing techniques, of improving graphic quality be it the visual part or the story part. But that's not the only reason for posting in this thread and it certainly is not a requirement for posting in this thread. I try to acknowledge everyone who shares here, because for me it's about "how do you look today" and not just about how well one can compose a picture (though I do also enjoy the beautiful compositions and stories that are appearing here now, as well). 10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to whom, TDD? If one goes by the thread's title, and presumably its original intent, it's simply about showing off our avatars. Your choice of word, "subjectively," makes my point for me: there are no guidelines, rubrics, or rules determining how we choose to judge posts here. Some people value high quality photos (whatever that means to them), and others just like seeing how people look in-world. I myself like pretty much everything here because I value and want to acknowledge the fact that people are sharing with me: that's worth a "like," regardless of the quality of the photo or the look of the avatar. Without set guidelines, the "awarding" of likes here is purely arbitrary and personal -- and hence, in most respects, meaningless for all practical purposes. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you like about everything for your social conscience. Others like nothing, because they care for themselves only. And somewhere in between games are played for the likes.

Others like nothing, because they care for themselves only. And somewhere in between games are played for the likes. This is precisely the point. My "like" doesn't mean the same thing as yours, or Amanda's, or Eva's. It's apples and oranges. In addition to which, the number of responses will vary by the day of week, or time of day posted. If you choose to "like" posts that represent your interpretation of high quality SL photography, then great! But you can't dictate what motivates others. And so long as you can't, getting upset because you don't get enough warm fuzzies (or conversely, getting puffed up because you do) is senseless. 5 minutes ago, TDD123 said: Why else would one contact Seicher with a message 'what this thread is really about' ?
