What's your rationale for giving a post a certain rating? What separates "horrifying" from "islamic content" in your mind besides the obvious? What "Informative" is used for is self-explanatory, except for when it isn't. Same with "disagree" and all the others.

Scenario: A photo of an ill-thought-out and horrifying human centipede merry-go-round at playground is posted in the cursed images thread, you press Like. Why?

edit: rate me the worst, go nuts

Like = If I like a post/think it's funny
Dislike = Opposite of Like
Agree = If I share the same opinion as the poster
Disagree = Opposite of Agree
Winner = Better than a like. Basically if it's really hilarious and/or is on point depending on the topic.
Informative = If it's a post that has interesting information that I never knew about
Thunk-Provoking = If a post makes me think "hhmm.... thats a good point" or "yea, that's a good question". Sometimes i use it ironically for a post that asks a rhetorical question.
Feels = If a post makes me go "aaawww"
Late = If it's a post that states something that was already mentioned a few posts/pages back on the thread topic.
Lunacy/Horrifying = I mostly use these in A&H if it's an article relating to something bat-shit crazy
Dumb = If a post makes absolutely no sense

The rest i haven't used... yet.

Personally I use them like this:
Agree/Disagree for agreeing or disagreeing respectfully in general discussions
Like or Disklike for shitposts
Winner for high quality posts serious or not
Info for Info
Thunk for irony
Feels for feels
Islamic Content for Islam related or rarely interchangeable with Horrifying
Lunacy for Lunacy
Autistic and Dumb interchangeably for dumb posts
Horrifying for horrifying
Optimistic for optimistic but unrealistic
TMI for TMI
Late for late
Mad At Internet for people being unreasonably angry

When I agree with a post I rate them "agree".
When I disagree with a post I rate them "disagree".
When I really like a post I rate them "winner".
When I find a post informative I rate them "informative".
When a post makes me think I rate them "thunk-provoking".
When a post makes me feel feels, I rate it "feels".
When a post contains islamic content I rate it "islamic content".
When a poster is a lunatic or the subject of the post is acting like a lunatic I rate the post "lunacy".
When a post is autistic I rate it "autistic".
When I find a post horrifying I rate it "horrifying".
When I find a post optimistic I rate it "optimistic".
When someone says too much of themselves in a post I rate it "TMI".
When someone posts something that has already been talked to death or has been mentioned a while back I rate it "late".

When someone gets mad I rate them "mad at the internet".

They are self explanatory, you autist.

This is my general assumption. But ultimately just use whatever you think suits.

Like: When you like the post or just want to kudos the OP, the default 'This is cool!' button
Dislike: When you dislike a post and want to just be a twat about it.
Agree: When you like the post so much you want to show it by a nice green tick!
Disagree: When you disagree with a post enough to put a big X underneath their post
Achievement: I don't know what the fuck this is. I can't use it so it doesn't matter.
Winner: When a post goes above and beyond, can also be used ironically
Semper Fidelis: "THE W.H.O FEARS THE SAMURAI!" - Or anything militaristic or warlike I guess? OORAH!
Deviant: Never used it, probably has sexual connotations so I feel wary of using it.
Informative: When you think a post is a genuinely informative read and you want to make this known.
Thunk-Provoking: The ironic version of Informative.
Feels: Women usually use this one.
Islamic Content: "Inshallah!" - I see this one being used ironically, strangely interchangable with Horrifying. It's probably also used a lot any time a Muslim sporadically blows up and gets on the news.
DRINK!: I'll drink to this post!
Lunacy: I don't see this one used a lot, probably interchangeable with dumb and autistic
Autistic: A classic, used to call someone autistic or just used to react to some autistic person of interest.
Horrifying: Any time someone posts a news article from VICE or shows people the inner workings of the furry community, also just stuff that makes you cringe. Usually followed by demands for you to spoiler whatever you posted.
Optimistic: Dark times ahead? Is the world on fire? Well that one post designed to bolster the morale of those who read it is an optimistic post, also gay stuff because it is a rainbow.
TMI: Never see this posted either, FUCK SAKE NOW I HAVE! probably used when someone reveals their powerlevel or shares something too intimate.
Late: Any time I post any news about anything whatsoever on this forum.
Dumb: Interchangeable with autistic and Lunacy to a lesser degree, when someone says something retarded, if you get this reaction, you'll probably get a good few more before the post sinks into obscurity
Mad at the Internet: Reserved for niggas who just can't keep themselves from bitching about stuff online.
