Get Rid of Reactions "race"

[Erinwltr]

It seems that some have gotten competitive in the reactions realm. I had to disable being notified about reactions because of the dozens of reactions I was getting.

I think we should have more reaction choices but I think having a "leaderboard" for the reactions given has been counter productive. I'm expecting several reactions to this post...lol..

Maybe you should suck less.

Didn't take long for the first crybaby to bitch about well deserved negative ratings.

A-shhh..it doesn't get any better than this.

Actually, it does get better. You making a fucking horses ass of yourself.

The only alerts I opted in for were when I was quoted by someone or someone posts in a thread I recently posted in.

IDGAF about points and reactions

All of your reactions and 79¢ can get you a senior coffee at McDonald's.

Who wants to drink old coffee?

It's getting abused, and we are trying to change the "reactions" but getting the attention of God's has been frustrating to say the least.

One thing I will mention - if people abuse the function of "dislike" on one poster, it's no different than abusing the "funny" or in the old system - neg repping. We set it at 6 per day on any one member. It can become stalking. If you feel that's the case contact a mod.

Whoa. In my crystal ball, I see someone getting in trouble soon......lol

See? I told ya it was just fine like it was, but noo..people had to cry.
Grrr!

Who's crying? I think a thumbs down button is absolutely necessary on a debate forum. Only positives forced posters to use the funny button to mock. I like the thumbs down button.

It’s not abuse I’m alleging. I think though that when you advertise a “leaderboard” for reactions you create—believe it or not—a contest that some actually try to win.

In my case, I disabled the notifications for reactions because I Was getting so many of them. I blame the contest but I may have gotten them anyway. My point is this...why encourage it?

Obviously you're not who's crying or abusing it, then.
I think it's fine the way it is. Of course that's gotta get messed up.

You've been saying all along that USMB would end up getting rid of the thumbs down button like they did the neg rep system, but even though I don't really understand what that neg rep system was about, didn't it take away points, put posters out of commission or something? I'd be dead if they still had that system. The thumbs down button doesn't do anything to you. It's just a reaction. So what?

Now, getting 12 in a row by the same poster in half an hour, to me that shows I blistered his ass, must be doing something right. But if I can report him to a mod for that?

Not sure I mean that. We'll see. But watch out for my grumpy days, guys.

OL, you have patience.

But you ain't gettin' my little dog too!

Hey you! You better watch out! Or, or, or I will, I will Report you! I'm going to Report you now!

There is only one button worth a hoot and that is the like button. The only other button I use somewhat is the laugh button, but for only those posts that are truly funny. If I dislike a post, I will respond by addressing the post. Using the dislike button is the lazy man’s way to address a post you disagree with. Not that I haven’t used it, I just seldom do. By the way, why should I increase someone’s reaction points and therefore reward them for their stupidity.

Conservatives like to troll-react negatively when they don't have an argument.
Lots of then would leave the site if they are prevented from feeling powerful via their reactions.

I never thought about it that way. People pay attention to their reaction points?
