The react system is flawed, and making the forum worse. Here's why

[Veganist]

You already know why. You abuse it yourself. It provides easy engagement in the form of reacts, as a reward for lazy shitposts.

It discourages high effort threads that would kickstart meaningful conversations, because everyone is gonna post low effort "funny" responses to them in order to farm alerts.

My suggestion to the administration would be to completely turn off reacts. Let the content of each one's posts be the reward system of this forum.

sad but true, a genuine high IQ and well written response to someone will grant less reacts as opposed to just saying "kys stinky dalit"

Giga retarded idea if you want to encoruage more muh high effort posts. People would just spam more and worse lower effort spam because they know their reaction scores wont be negatively affected and they can just get the name colors anyway

how do you know that? In other forums with no react system it's not like that at all.

I haven't posted there since 2018 but it was definitely better than that forum is right now.

Im open to that. Like a limit of times you can react to posts each day. But that'd need some extra progamming (I dont think the forum software comes with this feature).

@Master

Turn Off reacts

If it worked properly due to non-stinky-dalit userbase, i would have 100k reacts

reps are actually good otherwise you would see way too many shitposts
if someone has a negative post rep then you can be sure that he is a shitposter

classic react farming nobody
not a single memorable post, just low-hanging fruit react-baits

react system is fine. it's the user base's utilization of it that sucks, which stems from the site's retarded and juvenile culture.

the culture is moulded by things like moderators, rules, enforcement of the rules, pinned posts, focus on monetization, etc

my point is that the issues with the community are larger than any specific software feature. taking away reacts and you are still left with a site ful of obnoxious, unfunny retarded kids
