Yes, we had "free hugs" and "no hugs" tags available. The "free hugs" ones were way more popular. I think having neither meant "normal social conventions apply, i.e. ask".

Yes it helps a lot. You listen much more closely to someone you feel to be your friend, and hugs are very good at creating that feeling.
