    Can someone please tell me if it is still possible to bookmark Favorite articles? I loved that feature as I created my own Jezebel Greatest Hits.

    Having been indoctrinated into the FB culture, I wish there were an equivalent "Like" button to click under some Jezebel posts.

    Ashamed to admit it, but I think that hash-tag rule directly applies to me. I noticed there was that hash-tips on some of my comments over the weekend and had no idea what it was. I realize now that hash marks are as equally embarrassing on the internet as they are on your underwear at the laundromat.

    I completely forgot to mention this earlier and I don't know if people are still checking this post, but I think it would be really neat if we could see which comment a particular user hearts us for. I don't always have something to add, but I would love it if the person knew their comment inspired my love.

    @curiousgeorgiana: In case you're curious (Hah! See what I did there?) I hearted you first because I've had a long time Curious George obsession (well, more of an affinity, I suppose), and also because you promote many of my comments, and I notice that, and I appreciate it.

    Edited to add: Grr, I can't make CG's name highlighted. Probably because I just typed it and didn't actually link to it. I'm not smart sometimes.

    *ahem* I'm a lurker (cake). I've been reading (cake) Jez for about a year or so but just (cake) recently created a login because it (cake) was easier to read the greyed comments. I (cake) had a tough (cake) weekend and *nearly* put up a sob rant on the Sat night thread. (cake) But I chickened out. So here's hoping (cake) that I'm entertaining, witty and brilliant enough for the masses. (cake) Or at least the under-the-bleacher-crowd here. I'm all about (cake) watching the cool (cake) kids.

    Oh. And btw. I'm Team Cake. (or maybe you noticed it was a subliminal comment.)

    @NellMood:
    I'm sure others have said it, but it's not all about team pie or team cake.

    Hence the most perfectest creation ever--the Boston Creme Pie.

    It has pie in the name and cream in the center that very much tastes like pie filling. Surrounded by two layers of cake, it's perfect!

    Also, why is there not a team cheesecake?

    I read this (paraphrased) sentiment about civility and really liked it--Every day we live, we are writing our obits for good or bad. . . someday, someone is going to sum up our lives.

    I think these rules are a great way of making sure the commenting system embodies that sentiment.

    Although I totally agree with having commenting standards and am happy that Jezebel holds their commenters to a higher standard - I am still waiting for my account to be approved which means I am being scrutinized every time I post. Knowing this fact causes me to have a great deal of anxiety about posting. I find myself sitting for long periods of time editing and re-editing my comments until they are so dull and lame no one will want to read them. Sigh....

    So if you make a comment on a post and add the groupthink tag, it's posted both places? And then what happens to people's responses to your comment? Is everything auto-reposted there? And if you just tag a comment from the "let your figers do the talking" box on the homepage, it's only posted on the groupthink? I'm sorry, but I keep flipping through the comments here that are tagged and the groupthink page, and I can't figure it out. Halp!
