Genuine question here.

When someone marks a comment with the WOO option, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

As far as I know WOO is like a sort of cheer or something when you think something is great.
But I've seen a few posts talking about things being WOO as in rubbish.

So, when someone thinks a post is WOO is that good or bad?

    I use it in a positive way, like a strong agree or if someone makes a brazen comment that I like I "woo" it

    OK. Take a look at posts with alot of "woo" clicks. Sometimes they are debating woo with the vets and the newbees get alot of "woo"s. What do you think that means?

    Woo was suggested as a basically your post is bs. Without derailing thread. Mfp ruined woo by trying to say it could be either.
    Awesome like ECT are all positive without question use those for positive.

    This, but it's to be ambiguous on purpose---to not hurt feelings.

    The vets. Woo. Love those war metaphors.

    Yep--I'd call it a war against disinformation. And by the way the knowlegeable (vets) are losing the fight.

    Oh my. They must be really upset about that.

    Oh yes, and there are even people that are happy about it.

    I'm gonna believe it's positive since I have over 300. So whoever "woo'd" me negatively...eff you, that's what the flags are for. B)

    Actually no, you can't flag because you diagree with or don't like someone. If you do that--you'll be in trouble.

    That's not true. People flag the dumbest *kitten* simply because they're sensitive and don't like someone or something they said. Also, mods pick favorites. I'm convinced of that.

    In fact, I'm ready for the flags on this post because I know they're coming.

    But..but...rules.

    I had this question myself and was getting ready to ask it. Good thing I searched it first. :D
