Pardon my simplemindness please, but I am completely confused on what the 'friends' and foes' options are actually used for. I think I can figure out if someone else on the forums should go in the friends list or the foes list, but beyond that I am stumped.
What happens when I put someone on my friends list? Do we get magic decoder rings to be able to send secret messages to each other? Does a light on my keyboard light up whenever someone in my friends list is active on a forum? Do I get extra credit if I put 10 or more people in my friends list? Or if I get 10 other people to put me on their friends list? Does it automatically sned me copies of the other person's posts, or private messages?
What about foes? Does it automatically add angry faces when ever a foe reads one of my forum posts so that he will know I am his foe? Does it block all posts from people in my foes list so that I don't see their forum posts? Does it block them from sending me private messages?
On a more serious note, is there a button (or magic phrase) that will show me all the new posts by people on my friends list in every forum since the last time I pressed the secret button? Does the forum software keep track of people who most frequently end up on other people's foes list to see who the trouble makers are?
So far, I don't see any advantage to adding people to either list. Am I missing something, or are those 'just for fun'?
