What does this mean in text-speak?

I've been puzzling over this one for a while but just can't work it out.

YOLO

Don't answer if it might get us all in trouble

Well, that was bound to happen. I've been wondering for a couple of days and immediately I asked it came to me.

You Only Live Once

Doh!

See that green tick iza? That means the question is answered. Topic finished. Get it?

While I was typing up my 1st post Az and Lurker must have posted as I didn't see them.

our threads on CS boards 'are finished' and any further discussion disallowed when they get a tick ?

Who with any 'real' authority over other members has said that ?

Since there was 2 kudos given and one by someone who gives reliable information to other ebay members.I'll go and try to find out if that is actually a rule on the discussion boards.If it's not it would seem to be an an attempt by members to control and bully other members and the kudos given to it would be supporting this ...

I do believe that we are equal as members ?

*sigh*

No iza, it's not a RULE. It's just the way most people conduct normal conversations. One person asks a question, one or more people provide an answer, everybody moves on. One person does not continue to rabbit on to themselves.

It's not hard.

Sorry lurker that your simple question got hijacked 😞

Good for you Lakeland. Iza, other people can see it too.

Iza,I have given kudo's as that member is simply using common sense ie Lurker asked a VERY simple question,question was answered & therefore no further comments are actually needed.

If you want to continue on with an effectively now dead topic,no one can stop you from posting but you'll most likely end up talking to yourself.

JMO as a non regular CS poster lol

my nephew uses yolo as his signature on his emails, only reason I knew what it was.

This isn't kindy, I see no reason to berate anyone if they want to keep talking about it, the thread isn't locked.

Oh dear

I'm sorry everyone if this has/is going to turn into a big drama. I'll SR if it goes on much longer.

I am intrigued that you worked out what YOLO was at all! It would never have come to me in a million years.

I already forgot what it was so I had to go back to the beginning to find out again.

Does it really matter if someone wants to keep chatting. You've all got the answer so don't open the thread. Everyone needs to be treated with respect.
