Do you sometimes give out GA's en masse?

No and yes (to bonus question).

Yes, I’ve given out lots of lurve on a question that I like just for the pleasure, and yes to your bonus question.

Typically any & all answers to a question of mine are recognised. I feel it’s only right :¬)

You answer one of my questions, you get GA.

In 10K celebrations, etc., I sometimes give everyone a GA. I’ve recently not participated in those as often, though, as it feels weird that all my ‘greatest’ answers are merely congratulatory.

I give lots of lurve…period! And I give out GA’s en masse!

If I ask a question, I give a GA to all relevant answers

Anybody that bothers to read and answer a question I ask gets a GA from me.

Yes, sometimes I’m just feeling lurvey and so shower people with GAs.

I generally give all sincere answers to questions that I ask GAs.

When I ask a question, I will give a GA to anyone and everyone who answers. Some times I will go to sleep and then check back to give the answers I missed a GA, and some times I will forget. For the most part, if you answer one of my questions within the first few hours, you are guaranteed a GA.

Sometimes I will rapid fire GA’s if I have been away from the Q for a while and a lot of good replies need upgrading.

I try to GA all the postswhen I’ve asked a Q, I’m so delighted that anyone takes the time to answer, otherwise i only GA the ones that I like, but I like a lot of stuff… sometimes I feel like the neighborhood “easy girl”...

Yes, I do give out GAs en masse, usually in social.

Anyone who answers my question always gets one.

GAs, everyone! :)

If I ask the question, I try to get back (eventually) and give everybody a GA. They took the trouble to answer, seems like that ought to be worth something.

EXCEPTION: When I first joined Fluther, there was this asshole that was condescending to every comment or question that I made.
Now, I know that he did not know me, and I appreciate that he made a character judgement based on little information. But he was a true asshole.
I tried to “reach out” to him and he tried to stick the gesture up my ass.
So from that point forward, I gave him nothing.
The only time I have behaved that way.
And now he is gone.
There ya go!

uh @josie, I’m still here

I’m stingy with lurve actually. I only give GAs to answers I actually think are impressive and well-organized, regardless of if I asked the question. I try not be biased too, and will give a GA even if I don’t agree with the person’s view, provided it was well-reasoned and considers other information that has been brought into the discussion.

I also give lurve every time someone makes me laugh. That’s a form of being clever and sharp IMO.

I like the concept of lurve, and don’t like lurve parties when someone hits a milestone humbug. Getting 15 GAs for telling someone congrats when I get 6 GAs for a post I’m proud of crafting makes the lurve system less important.

But everyone can do whatever the hell they want of course.

Occasionally, I do.
When I ask a question,I always give a GA ,sometimes large sums of cash if it’s a good one.

@cockswain It wasn’t you, unless your therapy and medication finally kicked in.

If I ask a question I will give a GA to everyone who has taken the trouble to write an answer for it.

On some of my questions, I will give GA to all contributers.

I have a bookmarklet floating around that gives everyone in the thread a GA. I think it is on the iMac on the floor. Handy for *0K parties.

I was one of the few flurtherites (read: only) who was given only a limited number of GAs to hand out and have done so judiciously. I crave the day when I might once be able to lavish GAs on silly parties….

I give GA to nearly every answer on the questions I submit, and the questions I answer as well. Every submission is a contribution to the continuation of Fluther, and worthy of a point.

@Sueanne_Tremendous I think I am another one! I generally only give GAs if I finish reading the answer and think, “That was great!”. I do tend to be much more generous in the meta section, though.

I don’t tend to give out compliments left, right and centre in real life either. When I give lurve I mean it!
