Reaction Score

[HeathDavisSpeed]

How does this work? I assumed 1 reaction = 1 point but then I see that Marc-eyes-not-spreadsheets has a reaction score of -72. Do sad faces or angry faces get negative points or something? Hopefully only angry faces, but even then most of the time I deploy the angry it’s because I’m angry with something someone’s linked to rather than the poster themselves - so I might be unfairly impeding their reaction score.

This is how they're configured:

Why?

And if that’s how they’re configured, how does Marc have -72? (I’m assuming the scores used to be different and changing the weightings doesn’t have a retrospective impact)

Should probably all be positive. At least hugs - you’re looking to pass on positive vibes with hugs, surely?

I mean, isn't it obvious...? His posts suck the neutrality/positivity out of emojis.

Marc having acquired a negative rating in an entirely positive points system is a real achievement. One I'm sure he'd be very proud of

Not sure, may be a bug in XenForo, or something to do with when we upgraded from vBulletin.

Must be some bug going on. If I look at the total reactions I've received as of today:

Info: 73
Hug: 41
Thanks: 29
Like: 5,387
Love: 183
Haha: 657
Wow: 110
Sad: 173
Angry: 21

Based on the above point-per-reaction, that should total a reaction score of 6,329. However, currently, my reaction score is 4,602.

I wonder if reactions in particular forums aren't adding in. But regardless, the calculation doesn't seem to be quite right.

That Like count includes pre–reaction score likes too IIRC

Scores are dumb Reddit **** anyway

Yeah. I was mainly wondering what the point of the reaction score is - particularly if it doesn't hold any firm logic behind it.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Me being 3rd proves my point.

Never actually noticed it does this breakdown, also you're right that the numbers are different to the other one

They're collecting your likes data so they can sell a premium forum package where you can pay to only read posts you agree with.

If it means reading less saltshakerz posts, I might welcome it.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Either use the coward button or don't complain about having to read posts.

I saw a video of Hitler speaking English today and it reminded me of Spark

If reactions are what posters seek, they are in the wrong place.
