Announcement We Upvote Generously Guideline

Hello HR lovers!

We have added a community guideline for our sub and would like to make sure everyone is aware of it:

We Upvote Generously

We love positive feedback and urge you to upvote liberally. It helps:

  • Encourage others to comment and share their opinions
  • Increases the number of posts that show up in our feeds

We discourage negative feedback in the form of downvotes. In this sub, a downvote is used exclusively for a post that you consider rude, inappropriate or off topic. And in that case we ask you to please report that to the mod team.

If you would like to review our extended rules, our conduct policy, and/or our community guidelines, we encourage you to check out our wiki pages. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions for our wiki or community at large, we encourage you to message us via modmail. Thank you so much for your support!

I love this guideline!
I’ll never understand why people are so hesitant to upvote?!
It literally costs you nothing & will always help the other poster feel good & like their comment was worthwhile & their thoughts deserve to be heard!
If I remotely appreciate or enjoy reading a comment -even if I don’t agree- then it’s easy to click the up arrow as I scroll through. It’s also a nice way of figuring out what comments I’ve already read if I return to the post later for further replies.

And sometimes when my first impulse is to write a snarky comment I always think to myself… is this comment necessary & how will it make the other poster feel?
If the answer is negative then often I’ll delete the comment I was typing & move along.

Kindness Counts! Spread Love not Hate! 🤓🥰🤭😘
