Blue tickers

A woman in China's Taiwan province has been granted a divorce, using the "Read" indicators on the Line messages she had sent to her husband as proof that he had been ignoring her.
The app showed he had opened the text messages, but didn't reply to any of them.
A judge ruled in her favour earlier this month.
It's called "blue-ticking" - a term that refers to the act of reading but not replying to someone's messages. The concept comes from social media apps such as WhatsApp and Line, which use tick notifications to show when someone has received and read your message.

Poll added. Th*rthoth excluded from poll so as to allow for a more interesting competition (i.e. not one where Th*rthoth just cleans up 100% of the votes).

One is a frisky albeit rarely-posting Australian, the other likes Zoidberg.

You're being extra-stupid today, Mr. swdk. I often reply to your inane and bigoted posts. I feel it is my duty to confront your ignorance and expose you for the fool you are.
