Popular Post Sir Scarfalot Posted April 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) While ❤️ reaction inreases the recipients' reputation, it looks like the ? reaction doesn't? If that's the case then surely it should be a separate reaction to upvote/downvote/like, so we can actually reward funny qualityposting with reputation as well. And/or add a downvote to particularly cute trolling without sacrificing our ? reaction capability, if that's the intent. Just sayin.

It defaults as as +1, but I set it to neutral because a laugh isn't always a positive reaction. AFAIK There's no way to separate it and allow you to have multiple reactions to the same post. 2 1 Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics? Ask About It | Got a good idea?

If it really does become a moderation problem with people making cringy af posts in the hopes of negative laughs then sure, but sometimes people post genuinely clever and funny things and that should be rewarded IMO. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Scarfalot Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 Just now, Thalmor said: Then just reward the genuinely clever/funny posts with upvotes instead of laugh reacts. Yeah but the laugh=upvote way is more specific and intuitive. Of all the laugh reacts so far posted, the vast majority are intended as positive; the only exceptions to this that I'm currently aware of basically involve Emperor Jonas. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine most people don't even know this is the case, I didn't until I saw this thread. Now I am unreasonably upset that I am missing out on potential upvotes. I also can't can't imagine that it is very common for people to use a laugh reaction as anything other than an upvote. @Alex please put all other game updates on hold until this is addressed 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have that anyway IMO; the four basic reaction groups are upvote, downvote, laugh and cringe after all 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skittles Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I don't believe this is exactly what you're looking for, but, on your profile page you can click on reputation activity to see how many laugh reacts someone has and then based on their general reputation in the community you can probably deduce if they were genuine laughs or ironic ones. Though, I agree they should add to reputation; It just doesn't seem fitting to get a laugh from a post and then not be able to react properly whilst also rewarding the person for their good humor. 1 I have no idea what I'm doing but that doesn't stop me from doing it.

Popular Post Ayayay Posted April 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2019 As the official self-appointed representative of Memesphere™(@TheNG and Myself) I can tell that this was clearly an attack orchestrated by our enemies to stop our Memegmony™ over the OWF. Rather than "gitting gud" and posting better "maymays", several extremely boring and downright bland people have convinced @Alex to stop us by adding a neutral reaction in the guise of a positive one. Memesphere™ shall not take this attack lying down and we will have justice or else we'll immediately declare a Memebargo® and halt all outgoing Memesupplies®© to the OWF. 7 Orbis Wars | CSI: UPN | B I G O O F | PW Expert Has Nerve To Tell You How To Run Your Own Goddamn Alliance | Occupy Wall Street | Sheepy Sings TheNG - My favorite part is when Steve suggests DEIC might have done something remotely successful, then gets massively shit on for proposing such a stupid idea.

Ivan Ivanov Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 But what about all of Jonas’s dumbass posts? How do we laugh at them but without increasing his rep? 1 inb4 new spy operation “Plane Hijack” This is the 21000th post in this subform and I'm fine with it.

Guest San Fortunado Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Why not have three types of Laugh reps? The current laugh: neutral The yeet laugh: Positive The cringe laugh: Negative Edited April 21, 2019 by San Fortunado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUNCH Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Or add a reaction that's just an emoji with its hand covering its mouth - to insinuate mocking someone behind their back, or snorting. This could be the downvote, and the laugh could be an upvote. Inhabitor of Forum Games & Spam. I live there. It's my home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Alex Posted April 23, 2019 Administrators Share Posted April 23, 2019 The laugh reaction was updated to be a +1 reputation booster a few days ago. 2 3 1 Is there a bug?
