Hey Guys!

You may or may not know me, but my name is Jesse and I work for DailyStrength. Im writing because we want to get your ideas for some new types of hugs that members can give to one another. As you know, currently members can Give a Hug, Send Flowers, High Five, etc. But what are some other types of hugs which you would like to be able to send/receive?

Just add your reply to let us know what types of hugs you want! We want lots of ideas!

Thanks,

Jesse

something peaceful

i think you should be able to give people a wave (as in hello i will wave to you to say hello) and you should nudge or poke people and also you should be able to send someone laughing and also a smile. just a plain old smile.

Here are a few ideas for hugs. A smile or star to say thank you, or you did great. A rainbow hug to say how sorry we are to those that have loved ones that passed away. A puppy hug for puppy lovers. A kitten hug for cat lovers. A peace sign to use when making up after a dispute.

I'd love to see the smilies on the journal entries be expanded to include feelings like feeling crazy or stressed out. Feeling broken hearted or feeling silly.

A feeling silly hug might be fun.

Something cheerful, maybe like those smileys that wear a party hat a blow a noisemakersomething appropriate for GOOD things like birthdays or successes or births of children. Something celebratory because we may be depressed, but we can have good times, too.

DS needs a way to un-moderate.

I've accidentally clicked on a moderation link on a post and haven't been able to undo it.

Also, perhaps a "flamebait" moderation would be useful? Users could choose to hide posts that have a certain percentage of "flamebait" moderations.

Just my ideas :-).

Now, as then, we would deeply appreciate some interaction with the blue star people, and not just canned responses.
