I swear, if I see one more +1 post...

Is anyone else really annoyed by this fad? I'm tired of wading through chains and walls of "+1" to a quote over, and over, and over again. I don't think these people even understand why they say it, because if they did, they'd know how ridiculous it looks on this kind of forum. Is expanding upon WHY you agree so hard to ask? Or at least come up with a more creative way of saying it?

No.

"+1" is just the internet equivalent of nodding your head in agreement with someone.

If I'm really in agreement with someone then I always post "+11".

Yup. Sometimes I am going to post something, and I see that someone has already said something similar, so I'll just post +1. Like now.

If it bothers the you so much, just ignore it, people aren't going to stop doing it because it's disliked by some. Never happens.

There are often times when someone has already posted pretty much exactly what I would say on the topic. Whether it's confirmation of a previous response or supporting someone else's opinion, a "+1" is an efficient way to accomplish this.

It's essentially the forum equivalent of the "Like" button on Facebook.
