Just wanted to give feedback on the new reactions for the forum...
Definitely think you should keep it! I like it a lot! <3 great work, Triz!
can we not have negative ones like thumbs down or angry face i feel very restricted
You were more restricted before with just "Like" - You now have 3 other emotions to choose from.
We want to keep negativity away from the forum, by adding an angry face or a dislike reaction, it could cause unwanted or mis-use of the reaction system, which we want to prevent.
so instead of a little angry face expressing my dislike for your post and leaving it there, i'm instead gonna have to type out that that's a load of sensitive bs and if people can't deal with receiving an angry face/thumbs down what are they doing on a social forum? i get it it's 2020 and we're all precious little petals now but cmon man
Or just don't be negative there is that option
Posts are easier to moderate than reactions for a start, plus we'd rather you actually post a reply, than just react to a post then leave. We want to encourage posting, second to that, as long as what you're typing doesn't break the Forum Rules then that's fine.
fj you should try embracing that option
fair enough sectional that makes sense,just my 2 cents. just figured while you're there giving the forum a modern touch you might aswell go for the whole shabang and range
Baby steps :)
Plus not even Facebook has a dislike button
bring back rep
rep is already here, it's just re-branded as the "+like" button, if you wanna +rep someone then click the like button, and it '+reps' them.
Could even mix things up and if a +like isn't enough you can +love it. Amazing right?
You're welcome.
-rep.
Thank you for your continued effort with the site and forum Triz and Laura. I am liking the new additions to the "likes" and the new images to the text tool bar.
Thank you for this well constructed feedback Jamie.Quote:

It's just about finding the right balance to be honest.

to be honest if it were up to me, there'd be no like system and no old rep system; if you have an opinion on something someone else has said, write out a response and add to the discussion. But I don't have anything against the like system particularly and don't mind if it stays, just chucking in my two cents
I personally like the new like system, its a modern way of doing things and frankly how most things work these days.
I also liked the old rep system, however I think the reason I liked this was because it seemed like you actually gained something from posting good posts. If you posted something really interesting and constructive, funny or entertaining people would +rep you and your rep power would over time increase - it was an accomplishment. However this was also a negative, people who have been on this forum since the 1860's posting everyday often had ridiculous power and could really discourage someone from posting again if they decided to -rep someones previous post. So it had its ups and downs but where's the middle ground - maybe its bringing in a similar style by where your likes, hearts etc all counted towards your 'score' or whatever?
You can see lists of reactions given/received
https://www.habboxforum.com/thanks.p...6e97b9dff0be79
I'm not personally a big fan of having it displayed because the supposed point of doing away with rep was to make things "fair", and likes/reactions are entirely limitless and unmoderated so anyone desperate enough could rack up as many points as they have posts realistically - and for the GIVEN stat you could of course have literal millions if you were that bothered. No real problem having the info available, but wouldn't want it in userbits or anything
What I do really like it for is giving people a way to show support for things they CAN'T respond to like announcements and recruitment posts, it's nice to see things being appreciated
Yup, whereas now all "reactions" are weighted the same, unlike the rep system where users would give/receive more rep based on their current rep/job titleQuote:

From that link you can view a list of people with the most of each reactions, both for given and received, but also you can view a list of the hottest threads & individual posts, and even filter it by date range if you so choose.
Edit: Just seen Tom beat me to linking you that stats. lol

It's a quick way to react to a post if you have nothing to add or say to a post/thread however want to let the post-owner know that their post was appreciated. I'm fairly sure 90% of the posts I react to on Facebook aren't because I liked or loved a comment, but merely because the conversation had come to an end and I had nothing else to say, but wanted to let that person know that I have read their comment. The same can be applied here.
We rather give you the option to react to a post, as it will in turn encourage users to post more meaningful things which might actually warrant them earning more reactions for their posts, rather than posting spam all the time.
Thank you for the feedback both - Hope my answers clear things up a little about the reasoning behind the update :)
Just to add my two cents, I do agree that the “lifetime” stats bring the same issue that was one of the big failures of reputation, the fact that new members could never aspire to be the top.
I would be happy for that to display just the last 30 days of stats, and we are hoping to post reaction stats as part of the monthly forum statsics thread to celebrate that!
All in all i think @Yupt; said it very well - these reactions are modernising the forum. It’s totally in line with Facebook and we have to keep relevant and easy to use in that way!
Can I also say separately that triz has been doing a fab job coming up with new ideas and features lately and I’m very proud of him! Thank you @Sectional; [emoji3526]
AWFUL psotQuote:

Does anyone really ever look at those leaderboards though other than when they accidentally stumble upon them trying to find something else?
Im not sure I agree the failure of rep was the fact some peoples rep was so high it was unattainable, I think it was the fact that having a high rep meant having a high rep power and so you could easily deter others from reaching a score like yours by -repping them, it should always have been that a +rep or a -rep from any user was worth the same. The way I saw it the user bits showed two really cool things, quantity of posts (post count) and quality of posts (rep) - another thing which may seem minuscule but rep was also used as prizes both for events and competitions, so it also indicated a level of engagement with the habbox community.
Like I said before, I'm a fan of the new emoji system as it's a good step forward into keeping with the times. However I do think the forum has missed something since the removal of rep and personally I think the little flex that is your 'rep' in the user bit is that.
Probably not no, we can disable the leaderboard though if we feel it's going to be an issue, but as laura said; we plan to be posting up monthly reaction stats which will cover the last 30 days on who received/gave out the most of each reaction, which will give even new-comer a chance to earn a place on said leaderboard - Plus cool new awards issued to those members! Along with the hottest post of each month judged on which single post/thread had the most amount of 'reaction' engagements.Quote:

This just taught me about the thumbs up / like button - thanks :)
I appreciate that this probably costs money, development and time but it would be great if there was a mobile app for the Habbox Forum that supported this with live time notifications?
I wonder if there are any third party apps we could use to bring this to life?
Also, the human verification on every post... is this needed if we have had to sign-up and make an account?

I personally browse the forum on my phone using desktop mode enabled so I view the forum the same as I do on a PC. This way all features are present and available all the time.

I really like Tapatalk too but sometimes its notifications can get a bit... dodgy and don't always come through. I have to remember to manually check every so often.
As for the human verification I think after you've made 15 posts it will change your usergroup so you won't need to do this every time - just one more to go!! This is just a spam protection thing :) @flimkien;
