I never got the point of the Lunacy rating. It's supposed to negrate what the poster has said directly because it is insane, but it's being used to denote third-party information that is insane. Frankly we have Dumb for the former and Horrifying for the latter and I've almost never had cause to use it. It doesn't do anything that the others don't already do.

Whereas an "X to doubt" or "F to pay respects" rating would at least say something new and save someone a post just saying "Sure, buddy" or "F", and get rid of low-content posts.
They already exist in the “optimistic” and “feels” reactions

it’s not the site fault you can’t tell emotions without attaching a shitty meme to them
 
Perfect for the occasional newfags who shit up this site. A doomer rating or at least the opposite of the optimistic rating is also nice, especially for contents in Deep Thoughts.

Yeah an Edgy rating would be perfect as well.

I'd prefer one of those emo razor blades but 🗡 would probably work just fine since I know no one's gonna bother making a vector graphic of one.

Add this as a reaction please
 
So I'm trying out something that probably wont work well.

You can now rate posts in a multidimensional way. All posts have the "facepunch" bar with different ways of critiquing a message.

You can only rate a post once.
Old likes are now a "Like" rating.
Positive and negative ratings are counted against each user.
If you receive more than 10 negative votes, and that accounts for 60% of all your posts' ratings, it will hide the message.

The system is really flexible so I'll probably be customizing them to each board in the future. As for now I want to see how it plays out.
What does tmi mean?
 
I'm surprised there's not a back button rating for all of the occasional redditor postings.
