B3tan bastards
When I was a relative newbie round here, I got suckered by the "click I like this if you want to hear more / see pictures / claim your free prize / if you vaguely agree with my point of view" line.

What a fool I felt in hindsight when I realised that it was another desperate prank by people with (usually) shite stories to try and get people to vote for their story to make it to the "Best Of" page.

I felt used and violated for a while, but then came up with my own rule that i would never click a story (no matter how good it was) if the author signed off with "click i like this if....."

Let me urge all fellow readers out there not to be suckered in by this cunning ruse.

Scum bastards. I now click ignore if they have the request and the story is rubbish

You don't know how much
I was hoping you'd finish with "Click I like this if you agree"
