Being the person who gives the most reactions isn’t a bad thing it means you’re actually engaged with the forum instead of sleepwalking through it.

Reactions are the bloodstream of a discussion board. Thumbs up? Encourages good posts. Laughing? Highlights the absurdity. Downvotes? Filters out the nonsense.

Someone who reacts a lot is doing more for the forum than the people who just lurk, pout, and complain about muh downvotes. At least I’m participating instead of treating the place like a retirement home bulletin board.

If anything, the person giving the most reactions is keeping the forum alive. The people whining about it are just proving they don’t understand how engagement works, or they’re mad that the feedback they’re getting isn’t the validation they wanted.

If you can’t handle a reaction button, maybe the internet is too advanced for you.

Dammo didn’t make this poll because he cares about reactions. He made it because somewhere in the dark lair beneath JPP HQ, a council of loud‑mouth reaction‑crybabies gathered around him like goblins screeching, Daaaammmmoooo, the downvotes hurt our feeeeelings!

So Dammo, in full cartoon‑villain fashion, slammed his fist on the keyboard and declared, FINE! I SHALL CREATE… A POLL! A POLL NO ONE ASKED FOR! A POLL WHOSE RESULTS I SHALL IGNORE COMPLETELY!

Then he cackled, cape fluttering, as he added the most unhinged third option imaginable, Three bags of walnuts and leftover chips with aged brown guacamole.

Because nothing says I don’t care about this poll like adding an option that sounds like it crawled out of a radioactive pantry and demanded voting rights.

Meanwhile the complainers are huddled around it like cartoon minions, Master Dammo, will this fix the downvotes?’And Dammo just spins in his villain chair, stroking a cat made of tortilla chips, whispering..No… but it will keep you busy.

He's been dancing the idea for awhile so the voices in the dark lair must be increasingly louder.

It’s not the good morning that’s annoying, it’s the Olympic‑level attention‑grabbing wrapped around it.

Some of these posts aren’t greetings, they’re distress flares. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!! relax, nobody forgot you existed overnight.

It’s not anger. It’s just watching someone turn two harmless words into a daily please clap ritual and thinking, wow, that’s a lot of neediness before coffee.

Anybody forcing you to post on this forum?
BTW, Good morning.

Being the person who gives the most reactions isn’t a bad thing it means you’re actually engaged with the forum instead of sleepwalking through it.

It usually means you are an obsessed cockwomble.

Reactions are the bloodstream of a discussion board.

Many boards have no reaction options. They function just fine.

Thumbs up? Encourages good posts.

Supports your friends.

Laughing? Highlights the absurdity.

Downvotes? Filters out the nonsense.

Over a hundred in an hour exhibits mental illness.

Someone who reacts a lot is doing more for the forum than the people who just lurk, pout, and complain about muh downvotes. At least I’m participating instead of treating the place like a retirement home bulletin board.

You contribute often?

If anything, the person giving the most reactions is keeping the forum alive.

This forum will survive just fine without you.

The people whining about it are just proving they don’t understand how engagement works, or they’re mad that the feedback they’re getting isn’t the validation they wanted.

If you can’t handle a reaction button, maybe the internet is too advanced for you.

The only people whining are you lefties.
