Wolf Bait

[Liefeling]

I have been on the forums for a few days now and noticed the "wolf bait" reaction being an option on posts. This might be me being dense but what is it supposed to mean ? Is it like an angry reaction ? Or an inside joke i haven't read up on ? Do people interpret it differently ?

It really depends on the context of who's giving the reaction, who's receiving the reaction, and the post that was wolfbaited. In many cases it's used to indicate a stupid post/unpopular opinion, but it can also be a friendly way to laugh at silly mistakes. And then of course there's a few that just don't make any sense, no matter what way you look at it.

For myself, I tend not to use it unless I'm laughing at a silly mistake. There's a limit to how many reactions you can use on the forums at a time, so I prefer to save mine for reacting to content I really like or otherwise found very interesting/useful.

Thank you very much for the explanation !

I did not know this, tending to use a lot of reactions I'm surprised I haven't hit the limit yet.
