Vents in GWDFI are important to reply to, but this can be hard to execute, and occasionally a reply with good intent can sound rude, or seem to be forcing positivity on the person. Listed here is an amount of ways to reply to a vent. 1. Reply with a simple '<3' In some cases it can be appropriate just to acknowledge the vent, if the situation is right. For example, if someone is venting about having a bad day, and you are not sure what to otherwise say, a '<3' is usually appropriate. However, make sure to add something else as well as a '<3', to avoid sounding insincere. 2. Offer advice. If the vent includes a deadline, for instance, as well as some positivity (stated in 3), offering advice can be appropriate. If, say, a person was venting about not revising for a test, you should offer advice as well as positivity. Keep in mind, though, that this may not work all of the time, and you may have to take in the circumstances. 3. Positivitea! This usually applies to all vents. Saying something like 'you're an amazing person' can definitely help the person venting in question, and uplift them. I believe that this is the most important step, and can be said to be of importance for all vents. So, please prioritise this one. 4. Check if the vent is appropriate There has been drama in the past involving managers venting about non-scratch friendly topics, which does add to the timeout. In case of this, try to treat it like drama, and tell a manager of the situation. It may be crucial to reply to vents- but moderation is equally, if not more important. However, depending on the situation, it may still be necessary to reply by using the previous steps.
