On the subject of Lols / wisdoms etc

Moe_Zambeek

I browse this forum often on a mobile. Only recently have I figured out that the wee message saying 'shazam' means that my scrolling gesture has also loled someone or awarded them a wow by mistake.

Might explain some stray Lols (though clearly not all!).

Shazam!

I've accidently subscribed to threads doing that (the star icon seems to be right where my scrolling thumb hits the phone screen). 

 "Why am I getting e-mail notifications about this???"

You guys should do what I do and have a small Asian midget do your browsing for you.

Maybe some, less likely when patterns start to form. Although i am acutely aware of the human brains desire to see patterns where none exist

Who is it that keeps wisdom spamming ICBM?...clearly something's up there ;-)

Every now and then, it says 'nice try' for me or something.  I worked out yesterday it's when I'm trying to award myself a wisdom or lol.

I swear, I'm not lonely enough to do that.  It's all the mobile experience... It's android's fault...!

...'Kay?

Is that a serious post? Can i lol it?

not_the_dj

Oh look, I got a full house for the ICBM joke. I'm doing rather well in the weekly chart I notice )

Yeh, I get nice try if I accidentally try to award myself something, shazam for awarding others ( which I don't like, makes me think of Paul Daniels achieving climax) and done those accidentally a lot, gone onto facebook when I was trying to award wisdoms, all sorts of cock ups with a small phone and fat thumbs.

I wait until I'm home, in my comfy chair, with (crack)pipe* and slippers. Then I really savour the experience of "SHAZAM"!

It was semi serious.

But the bit about not being lonely enough was just a hilarious ruse.

I think it's friggin sad that people give shit whether they are lolled or wisdomed or whatever. It's a forum, it's banter. Get over yourselves.

 "Sir.....sir.....I said something important....and those boys ...... just laughed at me......."

That's a good point we could customise them to be more guitary. It goes without saying that when you click "lol" it should flash up "bigsby". "wah" might be ok for "wow", dunno what wisdom would be though.

Drew_TNBD

Bigsby's are not funny. They are serious business.

I want the facepalms back. I had quite a nice collection .

monquixote

If it makes you feel better I think the column still exists in the database so I could give you one with an SQL statement. 

PolarityMan

Is it still possible to award them by doctoring an http call?

Sadly i dont think i saved the format when i worked that one out

monquixote

I can't remember, but I think the code has actually been removed so I don't expect so.

If it's possible! Or could you re-title my Wow! to Facepalm? No-one seems to Wow me much .

Although it would have to count for minus not plus.

Overall I agree with jellyroll though, some people take them far too seriously. I have a worrying suspicion that I might have rather a lot of wisdoms…

monquixote

You make up for it with Wisdoms
