answer:I give lurve for good answers and less so (but only because I forget) good questions. I mentioned on your other question that I am a bit more selective than I used to be when giving lurve. I used to be a real ‘lurve fairy’. I give lurve for well thought out, informative, interesting, funny, silly and well researched responses. I give lurve if it makes me take notice. I also give lurve these days when I notice a lonely post with no lurve. Fluther can be a bit of a popularity contest so if I notice a lonely post with no lurve that actually does answer the question and makes a good point – I lurve it. I also like to give newbies lurve. To be honest, if I notice a long term member who rarely gives lurve to others – I have started to be less generous to those people. I will still give them lurve but I will only do so if they earn it.
