Well, you entered these rounds for a long time before the V&V posts started, so that's not really the case.

I nearly always use it as a post to comment on particularly good reviews posted or clean sweeps of 5/5s in that round.
That's a separate matter altogether. I do both those things (starting the latter before anyone else did and regularly doing the former before many started doing so). It's the otherwise empty V&V posts that we are talking about here. (However, if one praises certain reviews &c., saying "V&V" in the same post does seem rather redundant.)

And no one has said otherwise. People have the right to be as boring and/or untrusting as they like. |

Many thanks, [matt].  Really like your latest The Descendants review, BTW. No doubt it'll appear here soon.
Thanks very much. It will of course be appearing in the FYC very soon.

I agree that it's not mandatory, but I don't agree that it's pointless - as with anything on a public forum it's entirely up to the individual user what they do and don't do
I've always done VV posts simply because when I arrived on FYCTH, it seemed to be the norm! But like demonic, I usually also make a comment about a favourite review/set or a 5/5.

That is true. Or the other way round; you click onto the thread to see if it's a comment and it's just a VV.

Just as sadly some people have the right to be arrogant and unpleasant, it would seem. |
