Be able to see where ratings come from.

Do not get me wrong. I couldn't really tell what to write as the title but I tried my best at it. (I'm not good at naming titles/threads)

ANYWAY.

The suggestion is based on ratings. On every user you have a table on the left with a list of ratings you receive. If you click on the received part, I believe you should be able to get a list of members who rated your post that specific emoticon. The same goes for that user reacting to another person.

Sure. You can see it in a recent activity subpage, but my suggestion is more targeted to one user only than the whole site in general.

The advantages towards this can be stated as followed:
* Users who visit the page can click on a winner tag to see why he got that. If he offers a service, that user (who visited) would know that he is legitimate in his business. *and so forth with other reactions

I don't know if there's an addon to this, but Xenforo has many addons. It could be useful for finding out where reactions came from on a certain person than just assume straight off the bat.

I may have confused you and I apologize. Just a basic summary:
I want to see why a person got a specific rating (not from a specific person) and it could be used on the table on a profile.

Forgot to mention that if by any chance anyone posts disagree, can you explain why? You don't have to. Just a request to. It'll be nice to discuss what we may have to offer for the future of the market. Thanks!

Ratings are completely unrelated to reputation apart from a slight correlation where higher post-rating ratios mean the person is not a shitposter, and therefore slightly more likely to be legit.

Since that is such a small correlation, I do not see the need for this.

There's a reason they were rephrased to reactions instead of ratings. It's to remove all illusion of actual value.

There's no need for it. It's just more useful for someone to see if they're legitimate or not. I wasn't expecting this suggestion to go through, but I thought it would be handy regardless.

I never said ratings were related, but people tend to use the rating "winner" as a vouch on the thread a whole lot. In other instances, people tend to use winner when someone proves a valid point in a thread. That's two different things a specific rating is used for which is why this suggestion may be helpful in finding.

Even if people tend to use winner rating as a vouch, it holds 0 value. I don't see why we should add a feature that allows people to trace who gave them specific types of ratings that have 0 effect on reputation in the first place.
As for the valid points thingy, there's no need that I know of to use a rating to find who's made a valid point where. People generally tend to find a thread and user's posts. sorting through what's winner for a valid point, (rarely used) and what's just using it as a false vouch.

A lot of people don't go through the posts and a lot of people assume they're legitimate based on their reputation. You might do, but I know some people who don't.
