Shadowblaze Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 While the update has made the site look sharper than ever, I think that the change regarding the like/reputation system was unwarranted and hardly an improvement. From what I could tell, people used different emoticon thingies during the first two days after RRU's return, and then just stuck with the default "like" for every occurrence I've seen since then. I find the change unpractical as most do, from what I could gather, so isn't it possible to simplify the whole thing and revert back to the old system? I would also like to hear people's opinion on this. It's not very important in the end but I guess it's worthy of being discussed, as it's one of the core features of the site after all. By the way, I don't mean to be rude or anything. I do think that Cyrem did a wonderful job with the new site. I just wanted to bring this up for some reason.

Fluffy Cupcake Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I still am seeing the others used (at least "thanks" 2nd most commonly to "like"), like just happens to be the most common reaction around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someswedish Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Honestly, i don't mind keeping the new reputation system, even if there are just 2 people who ever uses anything more than "Like" i don't think it would be worth the effort to change it back. Besides one might get used to the new system as time passes by. aidenpons and Zeeslag 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenpons Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Does it matter? I agree that "Sad" and "Confused" are probably less likely to be used... but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be there. And Swe took the words out of my mouth: Besides one might get used to the new system as time passes by. Besides, the default "Like" button is always there, working as usual - quite possibly you could ignore the options and just carry on with RRU as normal. The options aren't intrusive, it's not like you have to click a dropdown menu, you can just mouseclick the bottom right corner of a post and it works just like RRU. So the old reputation system is still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowblaze Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 @aidenpons I guess that's true. I just thought the available options to be a bit confusing, as you wouldn't just react with "sad" if someone posts some bad news, it's kind of bad taste in my opinion. To whoever reacted, I like your style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it any better than pressing "Like?" EDIT: yes, if you re-add the image again it updates itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeeslag Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I like the new reputation system. I see how they all can be used on different kind of messages. But just as @Xir said, Like will probably be used the most in a way like or agree with the post. I see the new system as an extension to the previous one, making this forum more personal and rewarding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayliffe Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 It'd be nice to have "lego-ized" emotes instead of the generic smileys, but other than that I'm completely neutral towards the new system innit.

Cyrem Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Its because aiden doesn't like the new emote one so he pastes the old one everywhere. --- Regards to the feedback, the system works as it aways did with the like button, however this reaction isn't always suitable. For example, bhphillips lost data, in this case I reacted with sad rather than like. I don't believe all types of reactions grant repution, I believe only Thanks and Like grant a +1. aidenpons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 the more reactions we have, the more likely might one day be one of them, which will elevate me to the next plane of being Shadowblaze, Cyrem, Ayliffe and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this any better now? Oddly it doesn't seem to update the previous images in this topic, despite overwriting it... what happens if I edit and reupdate them?
