    Hey, I think there should be more reactions here on forums like when you see a comment you wanna react to it with something but you need to reply to it instead. So what do you think should they add more reactions.

    I’ve thought about “confused” what else should be added let me know :)

    Hmm there’s been suggestions for the salt rating like the one on mineverse but it wasn’t accepted for some reason, I like the idea of having new ones of ways to express yourself without having to post a message.
    I like the idea of confused

    I think there should be a Yes and No emoji. The amount of times I could have used these is ridiculous because it simply wouldn’t make sense rating ‘agree, or disagree’ in those certain circumstances. A confused emoji is also a great idea too.

    Yeah I agree there should be more added, it would be so much easier to reply without messageing

    We need to be careful with adding more negative kind of ratings (like salt) because while ratings don't bother some people, to others we get a lot of reports about it.
    By all means, some other reactions that are positive and won't cause flame would be fine.

    But what concerns me more is if we have a rating for nearly all reactions we could have it would essentially make the forums very quiet because less people will reply to threads because they can simply react. Seeing last replied times over 1 day isn't a good image for our friends who find the website first. So there needs to be a balance.

    I already dislike the "agree" and "disagree" ratings. It eliminates the need for constructive feedback and discussion if all you can do is agree and disagree.

    Especially disagree; rating a post and then not leaving any constructive reasoning is bad for an online forum based on conversation. Personally I find we are already passed this balance, there are too many ratings and not enough comments. I myself also often just "agree", though I try to explain when disagreeing.
    No support.

    The Salt rating on mineverse isn't a negative rating

    Support, but as krissy said, we shouldn't have 100s of reactions to the point it just makes it useless to reply to threads.

    We need the Dumb, Toxic, and fire rating tho :p

    Not as in it’s negative like the rude rating, but it has a negative connotation. Dumb, toxic and salt are all ratings with a negative connotation and are very much designed to put users down. Imagine a kid coming to our forums, posted something we find very silly and they get rated dumb by several people. It wouldn’t be nice for them. Similarly, the salt rating can be used to put down someone’s valid post and encourage people to assume the person was just salty, when they weren’t.
    Even if ratings don’t mean a great deal, certain ratings hold power to sway people to think a certain way so we need to have less ratings that encourage toxicity.

    Let's face it you're on the internet; you're going to get feedback from people who don't like you. Yeah it may give a negative connotation towards a person but at the same time though other people might use the rating in a funny way. Honestly I can see myself getting 50 dumb ratings within couple months, because not going to lie I say some pretty dumb thing.

    On mineverse people kept on using the salt rating and as far as I see, there's rarely any issue coming up

    Something being bad is an excuse for making something even worse? o_O

    This is completely unnecessary, there are already a lot of ratings. Why can’t you just express your thought rather than rate it?

    Also, 52Phenomenon I didn’t wanna suggest this either, I wanted to discuss the reactions more and see what we could possibly add/remove.

    :L:L:L I retract my recent statement saying that the picture could explain better than words. It obviously cannot. It shouldn't be in off topic, I'm trying to explain that the Skyblock community is much more .... competitive and radical and crazy compared to the Mineverse community. This leads to people here not having very thick skin when it comes to getting a bad rating on one of their posts and they tend to take it too personally.

    I was helping another player change his point of view. It's now deleted though probably due to yourself reporting it.

    Doesn't mean stupid/irrelevant ratings need to be added.
