Nowadays, when a post has been submitted to one of theOut&AboutLive forums, there is the opportunity for other form-members to ‘react’ to the post by going to the right-hand bottom corner of the post and choosing one of the 5 emojis shown below.
From right to left these are LIKE, SAD, CONFUSED, HA HA and THANKS. (I think this 5-strong group is the default for Invision Community platforms and can be pruned (by an Administrator?) except for LIKE.)
A THANKS reaction is fine (and reduces the need for a separate 'Thank You' reply posting) and LIKE is OK if one is a Facebook fan. HA-HA is not unreasonable if a brilliantly amusing post has been made, but could you please explain the purpose of the CONFUSED and SAD reactions?
Does the CONFUSED emoji mean that the person ‘reacting’ is expressing confusion, or is criticising the content of the post for being confusing - or what?
SAD is a mystery to me.A forum-member has decided to add the SAD emoji to each of my posts since the new forum was introduced. This childishness doesn’t much surprise me (It’s just sad😃🤣) but it’s plainly intended to annoy and thus conflicts with 15.4.11 of Warners’ Terms of Website Acceptable use’. So what non-malicious value does the SAD reaction have and how do you envisage it should be be usefully used, please?
On to Reputation…
In the ‘Your Achievements’ section of my forum Profile, my ‘Reputation’ has a 5 marking which (apparently) equates to “Neutral”. Clicking on the “5” produces an expansion revealing that I have received 3 LIKE reactions, 1 THANKS, 1 HA-HA and 47 SADs (Unfortunately No CONFUSED, or I would have a full-house.)
Can you explain, please, what the Reputation feature is for and how the number (5 in my case) is calculated? The ‘positive’ reactions (LIKE,THANKS, HA_HA) add up to 5, but if the 47 ‘negative’ SADs were included, my Reputation should be -42.
