Should every reaction bring positive points?

Nobody is whining about getting reactions, they are pointing out that going back to 3 year old posts to give reactions to fill the notification bell with a count that shoves every other notification away is an attempt to control the user experience for another user. So I am giving them control of whether or not they get notified every time another user reacts.

They want most reaction notifications, they don't want their notification count full of just that. They can still see those reactions on their reactions page they still count for their "score"...

Reactions page: https://www.justplainpolitics.com/account/reactions

Those folks get to continue reacting, building that "neg rep" for their favorite enemy, and the user gets to use the board the way they want to. Adding features for users that give them more control over their experience is a good thing.

That's cool. I like the breakdown and how surprising the negs turned out to be. Do the figures include those reactions from ppl you have on ignore?

Yes, the negs given by others are shown on the reactions page regardless if they are on ignore or not. You can see this by clicking on a particular reaction such as "barf" or "finger" and it will list who gave you those reactions regardless if they are on ignore or not.
 
I will also say, it has been fun creating this... I haven't had to stretch this kind of coding muscle for ages, and I had to learn some new things as Xenforo is very different from vBulletin.

This has been an awesome learning experience. And I will probably finish the rest of this mod tomorrow. If not I will be installing what I have so folks can start ignoring some user reactions while I continue to figure it out.

Do you go into The Coding Zone and blank out everything around you when crafting your changes? I love when Mr. Owl does that. He's totally inside his head and you could set his chair on fire and he'd never notice.

I have finished it on the test site and tested it pretty thoroughly and am now just polishing it up to make it pretty rather than simply functional.

I tested it by creating a test site, then the mod, installed it. tweaked it. etc.

So, tomorrow sometime I will pause the site, load the modification, and hopefully give screenshots, etc. so y'all can use it.
