What’s your Reaction Score to Message Count % here?

Unfortunately, it involves those three dastardly letters. I've been to Austin once and loved it. Great place for music, at least when I was there a while back.

I assumed it involved that. I like being exposed to new and different concepts. Heck, I bought Stan’s DVD back in the day and have watched nearly all his videos, and have watched and read Mohrt’s stuff, and other misc stuff on the topic over the years.

I don’t consider myself a slow or unmotivated learner, but I never had success with it. And frankly haven’t felt the need for an aiming system - other parts of my game are bigger concerns.

But would I like to see it demonstrated in person, and explained from a potentially fresh angle, with hands-on instruction by a good player? Absolutely.

(Let’s leave it at that. Don’t want to derail my own thread, lol.)
 
I googled it - very thorough explanation from XenForo here:


By default, XenForo assigns neutral scores to the ostensibly negative reactions sad and angry.

But forum admins can change the reactions and scores for each if they want to.

I wish we had a Confused Face reaction, that was neutral. And Angry should probably be negative.
Thanks for posting that link!! I was curious as a newbie how that number was determined.👍🏻
 
Wow, it has been about ten years since anyone suggested that reaction score is even relevant to who the best posters are on our forum. Reaction score is, at best, nearly meaningless and is probably completely meaningless.

Jay Helfert, who gets my vote for the best poster on this forum, is under 30%. Bob Jewett, another superstar in these AZB parts, is under 50%. Case closed.
Are you saying Bob is better than Jay? LOL

Reactions: sjm
Mrs. BB says that there is a phrase to describe this situation: "garbage in/garbage out". What we are seeing is more a measure of popularity (frequency) rather than quality.

No, we’re removing frequency (quantity) from the equation by looking at the % of positive reactions. It’s a measure of quality (as voted on by our peers) that is independent of our quantity of posts.

“Quality” is nebulous and subjective. Some guys like posts that are funny. Some like sexy. Some like snarky. Some like long-form, well-researched information or analysis. For whatever reason, a high % of positive reactions here means that what you’re posting is being well-received by your audience.

“Popularity” doesn’t deserve the bad rep some people try to give it. In many ways, life is a popularity contest.
