New "User Power" Metric Live (thanks ChatGPT)

[piano]

Do have to apologize now when I click “haha”? It’s a zero point boost. Now I feel guilty when the post is genuinely funny.

Lol you already feel that way?
Imagine being me and wanting to use that Ugh reaction for shitposting

Edit: You might apologize, I'd create a whole new account just to "re-like" his og post

I’m genuinely afraid to get on my laptop and look at everyone’s score. Somebody make a spreadsheet.

I love the fact that the flaw is fixed. But.. now we’re all tempted to go back and change every emoji we’ve ever given.

Not to try and destroy the competition or anything. *cough

So it might be helpful to make sure that emojis can only be changed for a limited time and that once they’ve been given in the past they can’t be adjusted?

 

[Andy Black]

It will be fascinating to see how these changes affect member behavior.

I remember we even had leaderboards back in the Rep days.

1st my BTC goes down today and now my FLF like net worth takes a tumble due to excessive laugh emoji neutralization.

It's been 30 minutes and I already miss this feature.

As @Antifragile said now I feel confused when I react with "Laughing" because I know it does nothing.

I get why its been done, as many laughs could be in jest. But also getting a good laugh from someone is an art. While the double eye heart emoji is awesome, my two cents thinks the Thank You button is the ultimate reaction as basically saying helped with a problem or other sense of supreme gratitude toward the poster.

I'll join in.

Maybe one out of 20 times am I laughing AT someone. Most of the time I am laughing with someone.

And with the UGH, I can replace the laughing at.

Bring the +1 laugh back please.

If my score didn't drop that much, does it mean that I'm not that funny?!?!

Forget it, I am crushing all these jokesters. Keep yucking it up comedians.

I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this! If you have to ask…

 

[piano]

Yeah, it's kind of tragic what happened to mister :Funny:

However I don't think what happened to :Wow: is okay Wow: is now a "neutral" reaction, +0).
My mans might be the rarest reaction on this forum and not just that, but I think it might also be on level with :Love: , as in that it shows deep admiration (at least to me)

What happened to :Wow: is like what happened to the Mexican Fisherman, he just tried to live his best life.

*insert some Stoic quote*

I see you workin' Fam. I'm picking up what you're putting down.

 

[Guest-5ty5s4]

There are still a couple of users with scores well over 900 like @doitman and @G_Alexander (insert Dragon Ball Z power level meme...)

I feel like this is a good measure of your marketing skill!

 

[Primeperiwinkle]

I just need to be able to see the scores on mobile so I can respond appropriately to this new game of magic and mayhem.

Let’s make a list of the types of posts that garner thank you’s.

1. Posts wherein you reflect the opinion of a an angry poster so they’ll be thankful you agree.

2. Funny posts where you encourage people so they’re grateful you didn’t crush their needy souls.

3. Posts where you create a new empire in your spare time and then discuss it using step-by-step explanations.

4. Posts where you clarify or condense the message that several people have failed to explain clearly.

5. Posts where you give specific insight into one industry thereby steering readers in the correct direction.

6. Posts where you carefully point out problems the OP didn’t consider or realize and then offer a solution.

7. Posts where you link to past posts of other forum members that could reveal nuanced history and successes to the OP problem.

8. Posts where you destroy the efforts of rude people by pointing out exactly what they are: people with heinous member names, bad behavior, arrogant responses.

9. Posts where you tenderly minister to newbies by helping them realize their next steps, people who really do need the encouragement and community here.

Did I miss any?

I pushed thank you on your post cause I love how you number things, Im a sucker for organization. #3 is a big one with execution threads, especially since more than one seed for an empire has been matriculated in threads.

The secret is

50% never asking for advice
30% comedy show
40% good advice
And being bad at percentages

See, told you so.

View attachment 47712

Couldn't help calculating the actual percentage when your User Power dropped from 510% to 488% after the update.

Your post to likes number is currently...
Posts: 2351
Likes: 11481

Back when you had a ratio of 510%, it would have been...
Posts: 2351
Likes: 11990
That means that you lost 509 likes when "haha" ceased to impart any clout.

509 out of 11990 is 4.2%

So now you know! It used to be that "Comedy Show" was 4.2% of the secret.

Now I guess it's just down to the secret being...

50% never asking for advice
50% good advice

Regardless, you're STILL ahead of me! #handsonhips #poutyface

I might tweak all of this again, not sure of the software will allow for decimal points. Having a laugh might be worth 1/2.

This forum was already about "like farming” this has just made it moreso

And quite a few people got a lot of likes etc from the random thread which has virtually no business value whatsoever

Take those numbers out and see what happens

Laugh is worth at least 1 for camaraderie that keeps people coming back and building friendships. I know you might think that I’m saying that to up my numbers, and I am … But I still think it’s true.
