O/T when do I give a "Ray"??

[meaniegreenie]

I guess the Ray emoji showed up while I was offline earlier this year.

So, when do I give/get one?  What's the street value of 10 Rays?

Is it for when someone is completely lost on the subject or what?

My understanding is the Ray is supposed to be reserved for epic posts, equivalent to a standing ovations, a bow, or a citizen Kane or Rudy groundskeeper clap.

It gives you a "positive" vote, so it's to be used for good when a "Thanks" trophy, Heart, or Upvote is just not enough to convey how you feel about the post.

if someone loses their dog you give a Ray.

Thanks.  Wasn't sure if it was supposed to be for something good or bad.  Now I got it.

Whenever there's a "Best places to eat in Denton" thread, you use the Ray vote.

Ray is a positive +1 value.  We like to use it for sentimental +1 votes but it's purpose and whether you choose to use it is up to you.

I had the same question a few weeks ago. I just randomly give Ray’s for positive things whenever I don’t feel like giving an upvote or smiley or trophy.

I give you a Ray, if I could :)

If you have a twisted view of the poster, you could visualize relieving yourself on the poster's leg as you give him a Ray.

Not that I've ever done that.

Real question: who is ray? And is that ray in the picture? 

[CMJ]

I'm not sure when I'll ever use a Ray.  I'll know it when I see it.  Will be used only for funny posts though.

 

 

For me the trophy is the top award.

I was literally going to write this same post, and then you did it for me.
