Hey there is tapiokka from the staff members, the quality assurance staff member, why zero post with zero reactions? They definitely need to start climbing the social status ladder. Actually pretty shocking that a lot of the staff members have an account but zero posts since the start of the newer forums.

I’d obviously score higher if my threads stopped disappearing.

I thought we used to have that on the old forums but they turned it off. I could just have games mixed up though.

She hasn't posted in months. She was disappointed with the direction of the game, so I don't know if she's taking a break or has left, or something else.

Sad can also go both ways. I have a sad reaction from someone who agreed with me but was just sad that what I said was true.

Mirrored sentiment is a positive, but then they'd need a bit of AI to guess at the score. Would be nicer if they tracked each emoji rather than scoring them.
'Course for a troll, any reaction is a score!

While there are a few notably valuable posters that are responsible for some of the most informative and helpful posts on the forum, most of the high reactions are just friends liking friend's stuff. Some of the highest reactions are from people that are almost never helpful on the forums but have a lot of guild members on the forum that give a lot of support for whatever is said. Posting a bunch of stuff everyone agrees with is also an effective way to get reactions up, even if the posts are of little value.ok, you all have pointed out some interesting stuff, I'd like to point out the following:
@Dom & @Ying seems to be our leaders in the ratio score & in my personal opinion, they tend to deliver a s-ton of value. (honorable mention to- @Cordovan who has a unique advantage)
it'd be easy to create tiers in a logarithmic fashion, like:
0-.2 = Starting
.3-.6 = Progressing
.7-1.1 = Average
1.2-1.7 = Leading
1.8-2.4 = Winner
2.5+ = Legend
or some such, the idea being that the exact number is not so relevant as the grouping, which can be valuable to folks who don't know others by names. (how many ppl don't know Dom/Ying, could their experience & knowledge be noted for all to consider, would a noob challenge a legend with inflammatory comments or challenge the legend with curiosity)
plus it's kind of a mini-game and would promote kindness (IMO).
while negative reactions do factor in, I believe folks are less likely to give a negative reaction, which is good b/c it means we as a community would prefer to support then detract others.
anyway, I can sense there's no appetite for change. thanks for chatting with me/us
I don't dislike the idea of having some way for the truly helpful members to stand out (Rabidfox comes to mind along with a few others), but it would be difficult to have a system that isn't colored by the popularity contest that influences much of the reaction score system.

Was just about to post that any refined system must be able to deduct the score recieved from your guildies or it will be equally meaningless.
