Post Reactions - What's your opinion?

[priest17]

hmmm don't really know who to take seriously in this thread without the points

[assorted]

I'll post a defense of downvotes (since I can't get downvoted!).

Though I realize it's silly, I think a community reputation points system works, and it especially works in the negative (more than the positive).

While I understand the threat of downvotes possibly suppress unpopular opinions, it also suppresses the average user being nasty. For the most part, the only users being nasty on this forum are people with negative numbers in the deep red, and they are easy for other users to recognize and "ignore" for that reason.

As someone that lurks on the "shit end" thread, it does seem to have gotten a bit nastier the last 24 hours, which I think is because of the downvotes being removed.

I voted option 4 as I’m really not fussed about the upvote / downvote as rarely use them. 
I did however often use the Like button, so that would be my preference to return.

Yeah, I think maybe removing the upvote/downvote button and just sticking with the like would be the best way to do things. Not really sure what the difference between upvote/like is anyway... Can probably do away with the counter under users names when they post too, reduces the emphasis on trying to farm the upvotes.

Its definitely useful to have a quick way to react to things. Its nice to be able to tell someone I liked their simpsons meme without having to actually add a reply and potentially derailing a thread.

Thanks for the return of the votes @eFestivals I will take back my opinions on the downvoting that I’ve mentioned over the years ... I was just wondering if the leaderboard has been omitted for a reason ... and I understand if it has .... or is it something that got left off when reinstalling the voting system by mistake ? Haven’t a clue on how forums are set up ...

Is it possible to raise the amount of reactions we're allowed. I often find myself forced to reply, when a simple thank you upvote would have sufficed.

Even if it's a paid option. Unlimited upvotes for example would be a reason to buy gold for me (as a dirty adblock pirate.)

You get 1 extra per 24 hour period as part of gold membership

I'm glad this discussion now has a place where it can hopefully be contained, but first world problems is an understatement...

No idea why it might have changed

It changed at the time the up / downvote option disappeared it also removed the displaying of our rep under our profiles … it might have been an update … or it might be buried in the settings somewhere ?

Probably a setting will try to remember to look tomorrow

Yeah the rep under our profile pictures was a nice little addition I thought. Plus the gap plays havoc with my OCD 😄
