Question What is a reaction score?

[Rachel2876]

On everyone's profile there's a reaction score, but everyone that I've seen so far has a reaction score of zero.

Does everyone have a score of zero, what is the purpose, and how does that get changed?

An unused "like" function on the board, I think. It has been discontinued due to some sort of trouble with popularity and competitive aspects in the past.

A "Like" Button/Function?

It's available in private conversations and some other low-visibility areas, but nothing is supposed to count to the score.

Why is it still an aspect of the site?

It's not like it has any impact on you if people are reacting to other people's private messages. You don't see it.

As for why the totals exist as an available widget, I probably should nuke that. >_>
