X Marks the Spot

Yeah. Some people are just spoiled children. Ignore them.

I remember one Communist got so upset at the truth I was using to destroy her lies, she went through all of my recent posts and x marked them all, before putting me on ignore. Lol. Just like a Communist. Cowardly and pathetic.

I had to cross mark your post, because I really like the crosses, but just like guns, they can be used or misused. The crosses allow me to tell someone (and others) a post is incorrect, without wasting precious words and time, in the event that such a one is too ignorant to understand truth. Also, if a few people have already x-marked an incorrect post, it can save you time even bothering to read it.

I agree that some people will misuse this function, but a number of the cowardly Communists I have seen misusing the crosses eventually end up banned.

While I totally realize that CCs intentions were to give people several emojis to react with, things have lately been getting out of hand. I recall when the red x first popped up. I would use it only when I believed what a person was saying was heresy, totally against what the Bible taught. Then suddenly people began to use it not because they disagreed with a comment, but as a weapon. I had several people, who are now banned, that would follow me around the forum and red x anything I said, even if it was straight out of the Bible!! I pop in today and see someone has given me ten thumbs down in a row, and I wasn't even speaking directly to them!! smh Hey, you want to disagree, do so. But people are using these emojis as a weapon. I feel that's a misuse of the emojis. Anyone else feel the same way? Understand, I'm not saying people don't have a right to use it, I just don't think you should be allowed to misuse it simply because you dislike that person. There is a difference.

how can you tell the number of xs you give out?
I think ive only given out a few, like you could count on one hand. I dont know if I received many because I dont always look to see if anyones reacted to my posts. And they dont have to react the minute I post something either.

I think in some ways its good, but not always beneficial to get a big head about being popular or feeling crushed for being unpopular. I guess it comes down to if you worried what others think of YOU rather than the content of your post.
Im sure that everyones posted some clunkers on a bad day. myself included.

I thought that a red x meant that I disagree with a post, and a green check meant I agree with a post. That's how I have been using them. I use a thumbs down for dislikes

That's an excellent point about the meaning of some symbols being interpreted differently.

One CC friend here said that this whole time, they thought that the "wrench" symbol meant, "Your post needs some work. Nice try, but try harder." In other words, they thought it was a negative cut down.

But I always saw the wrench as positive, because when you hover over it, the explanation that's given is "useful." I've always used it as a means to say, "Your post gave very practical information or advice that I can implement in my own life, thank you."

But of course, if someone is repeatedly using the X, or is following someone around just to give it to them, I don't think that can really be interpreted as anything else than negative, at least in my opinion.

That’s why you gave me a red-x out of the clear, blue sky?

I wouldn't worry about it. First of all it requires effort to follow around a person to disagree with everything they say and #2 is
people can see who's giving you the X's. If someone spent their time trying to hurt my feelings with that i'd find it amusing, mostly
because i know the effort it takes and the fact that they're waiting to see when i post to do it.

It kind of reminds me of the time i angered an entire team of people on an online game and they would literally take shifts 24 hours a day just to try to harass me when i'd log in. Imagine a group of 10+ people each losing sleep and having to be on a specific logged in schedule just to have a 24 hour surveillance for just 1 person lol.

What on earth did you do?! 😆

I've had this happen with individuals, but not entire teams.

I guess I need to try harder. 🤪🤓😂
