I totally agree and in an ideal world I would REMOVE them completely, but it was put to a vote more than once, and the membership overwhelmingly wanted their stickers to remain.

However, the forum changed dramatically when they were first introduced. Do you have the date? I was guessing it was somewhere in the 2010 - 2012 time period. A lot of old members looked bad as a result because they had a low reputation (starting from zero) compared to new members who were obsessed with it.

 

In social media in general, it causes a lot of heartache. Some people who don't get likes become genuinely disheartened, depressed and even suicidal. YouTube discontinued displaying downvotes a few years ago, but I see AN just introduced thumbs down again. I would suggest you get rid of all negative reactions. It was a happier place before reputation was introduced. People posted more genuinely and informatively back in the day. Now there is a boatload of trolls who post ony for maximum reactions.

 

I agree with MalcolmB, it is childish as most here are expats, maybe going through their 2nd childhood LOL.

Ah yes, digging up old news — nothing says brilliance like trying to embarrass someone just to prove you know something that maybe others don’t.

You're wrong.

The editorital shift is very apparent.

I think all that's happened is the removal of a filter that used to only allow content from the Left. Now others can have a say as well.
