pc4pc (short for Picture Comment for Picture Comment)
A bartering of services in which comments are exchanged, usually regarding photographs or pictures on a myspace page.
pc4pc is not just limited to the practice of soliciting attention, but rather considered a policy of common courtesy when engaging in online social networking. In other words, it is advisable to reciprocate comments any time comments are given.
Example of a typical pc4pc scenario:
- “Girl A” announces a “pc4pc on default” offer in her status and bulletins.
- “Boy B” sees that “Girl A” is attractive and submits a comment on “Girl A’s” default photo. He writes, “Damn qirl U teh sex.”
- “Boy B” now expects that “Girl A” will reciprocate with her own comment.
- “Girl A”, in the process of approving hundreds of comments sees the comment “Boy B”, but “Boy B” is embarassingly unattractive. “Girl A” will most likely:
- Ignore “Boy B” and not comment back
- Comment back under the general comments (rather than the picture comments) with a message like “Thanks.”
- Courteously comment back on the easiest picture to access with a message like “Thanks.”
A Video of a young girl soliciting Picture Comments for Picture Comments (for those of you who don’t read):
A Video of kids with braces explaining the importance of PC4PC etiquitte:
People generally expect to receive comments on their default picture, which should be the first picture available in their “My Photos” album. If they do not want comments on their default picture, they will most likely move it to a private album or an album called don’t comment, or mark it with a caption that says “Don’t comment.”
The well organized, experienced myspace whore will rotate one or two photos into an album in the upper left corner called “Comment these, Bitches” and move older images to a different album which may be called “Old - Don’t comment.”
