I strongly believe that your reaction count should be removed from under your name. Now, leave your rage till the end. I want you to read this all the way to the end because I do bring up some good points.

Alright, a reaction isn't something you should be proud of. In fact, I find it quite funny when people make threads bragging about a certain milestone they hit with these reactions.

First, I'd like to start by defining what a reaction is. A reaction is not a reputation point contrary to popular belief. A reaction is rather a crunched up version of a message someone would of otherwise wrote. Instead of have seen someone writing out, "I agree with this suggestion Alex, please remove the reaction counts" you would have seen the agree reaction come into play.

Second, Reactions cause confusion with many new members. I've invited over 20 people onto to the forums through skype communication and friends at school. They all happen to think that little green number means you're trusted. When, in fact, we covered already that it's not.

Third, Do you really care how many people reacted to someone else's posts? I mean like we covered it's just away to avoid low quality posts such as "I agree" or "I disagree".

Now after these three very valid reasons I listed hope you click that agree button. I know many people will disagree because it's something they like to see go up. They use it as a number to signify trust. I guess people just don't like change even if it's for the better. I hope the right decisions are made.

I do agree. But due to the fact that so many people see it as REP if its removed there isn't anything a new user can base trust off of.. And sure its just a stupid green number but it takes a lot of time on the forums to get to a high number.

He's got a lot of Reactions guys. We gotta believe him! Heh, heh.

I sort of agree that reactions shouldn't be seen as a "Reputation" point, but they do help gauge how well a persons messages have been received over time, whether good or bad.

That's were your vouches on service threads and profile come in handy. That green number has no value and treating as if it did is not a good idea. I know many people with that green number way up there but people with just 100 reactions have more vouches than them.[DOUBLEPOST=1465181575][/DOUBLEPOST]

Oh yeah of course, you would still be able to visit a person's profile and see the amount of each reaction he's gotten. If you go to my profile, you can see how many reactions of each I've gotten.

But honestly when I was a newer member I never looked at peoples vouches (Prob stupid on my part). I like the idea of getting rid of it but I also feel it will mess up the small bit of rep users who have been here for a long time have. Yes I call it rep because 90% of the forum bases it off of that.

I don't agree that it has NO value, but perhaps it should be displayed differently. Perhaps, a point system based on type of reactions and total reactions instead of +1000 for all of them.

Maybe some sort of better Karma system?

Well, with this in place, it will force users to go off of an actual meaningful and more accurate number. I don't believe in calling it rep and I never will.

I personally don't see any value of the number itself, if you could tell me what value it has I'd be enlightened to hear it. I'm not entirely sure what a karma system is, sorry.

Maybe if there was a way to display your "Vouch" under your name so like if lets say User 1 vouches for me then it would go into my "Vouch count"?

I doubt it any system like that would be added after the trade feedback failure. Like I said, if any user is having trouble dealing with you, you can easily link them a service thread of yours or your profile.

See that's what I never got? Why are we using such a primitive system for vouches? Why not refine it with some functionality on the site.

True. I don't know... if Reactions where taken away it would cause a MCM uprise Kappa with the all mighty leader of MCM avsterbone

I feel that is completely wrong of Ajdin, we shouldn't be limited as to what we can suggest. This is something that can seriously impact the community in a good way and I hope BeBosny sees this suggestion as a step forward rather than backwards.
