Remove the funny reaction

[Eric]

Hey,

My suggestion is to remove the 'funny' reaction, it brings a high amount of immaturity to the market and it doesn't even count towards your reaction count.

It's a literally pointless reaction.

Or another solution would be to remove it from sections where actual business takes place.

Thanks,
Eric.

Building on this idea:
Maybe remove it from the original thread post, all the posts may be reacted with funny.

That's what I was thinking, but only in the business forums then.

I've only ever used Funny for something actually comical a couple times on this site.
But if Funny is removed, everyone will just start using Optimistic and Creative.

To be honest, it's nice having a variety of things (Interesting, Informative, Agree, etc) but the most effective solution to remove such toxicity of the reaction system would just to go back to having only Likes, apart from Agree/Disagree in suggestions section.

This will never get accepted you're wasting your time on something that's not that big a deal.

I never said it was a big deal. It's a nuisance and a very simple solution would be to remove it from business sections.

I for one am weary by a thread with funny reactions due to the fact that there is likely something wrong with it, add that to the fact that it is easy for competitors to react to our posts and detour clients.

It literally does indirectly affect sales.

Honestly I want to see this happen. I'm tired of trolls rating my threads funny because of personal grudges or them being used in a mocking way.

If making the funny reaction not available in business-related forums actually fixed the problem I would consider this, however it won't. Removing funny will make people change to creative or optimistic like others have said.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
