The asterisk(*) is used as shorthand after 'anyone' or any other indefinite pronoun to clarify that you're speaking ONLY to the persons present on whatever social media platform you're posing the current question, which avoids constantly having to specify "anyone ON HERE" and thus avoiding smart-arse replies.
Q "does anyone think that David Moyes is a great managerial appointment?"
A "I'm sure some people (like his mother and his wife) think he's a genius; I, however, think he's fucking clueless"
If we correctly use the asterisk, we should expect the following, much more concise, response:
Q "does anyone* think that David Moyes is a great managerial appointment?"
A "Nope, everyone* thinks he's fucking useless"

When the OP asks a question or request on a forum and nobody responds, so OP replies to the thread again with "Anyone?" It'd be wishing thinking to think someone would reply back this time, but more often than not the OP's thread will likely be ignored forever.
From the OP's perspective, feelings of resent will likely ensue.
From an outsider's perspective, they will either:
A) Cringe until sad, if the question or request was incredibly stupid or pathetic af
B) Also feel for the OP, if the question or request was reasonable or relatable
OP 1: Hi everyone! So I've been literally searching everywhere but could not find any website where people offer constructive feedback for other people's musical work. But now finally I found this subreddit (r/roastmytrack) and thought you guys would like to critique my new track that I made. I think I did really well on this one! Is there anything I can improve on? Any feedback is appreciated! Thanks!

OP 1, two days later: Anyone?

Can be racist, despite the false notion that only white people can be racist and that all white people are racist just because they're white.
Anyone that is a hypocrite can suck my dick, not literally of course, because that's disgusting.
