New MESO-Rx member ranking system

Do you like the new MESO-Rx ranking system?

  • Yes

  • No


Results are only viewable after voting.
Since no more rankings then no need for reaction emojis either. Just exacerbates animosity and tribalism. Let people articulate their reasoning.


Who would have thought? Haha.

Help us poor addicts Meso Admin.

I see them as a quick way to show agreement, support, appreciation (or the opposite).
That is, assuming they are dispensed genuinely.

A lot of people wouldn't be bothered to take time to post.
They are, often, a nice barometer for the general mood/interest towards something.
Not ideal, sure, but I suppose better than nothing.

For instance, you (specifically) often receive positive reactions when you share your personal experiences and links to studies/articles (e.g the ones you posted about gh, not long ago).

However, you are saying you see that not as a sincere albeit crude form of feedback, but as something that you only receive from your admirers, regardless of your content, a sign of tribalistic penchants.

If this idea gathers wide enough consenus, admin may oblige and make them unavailable.
But, personally, I do not mind them.

I wouldn't go that far. I am sure there are many sincere reactions here.

Just an idea on how to build better community and improve mental health. Probably flawed but figured I would share.

I thought you guys were denying using this to game the system and increase status.

Whatevs.

Tbh I don't think anyone else even knew about that and used emojis mostly meaninglessly, maybe some differential like/love/laugh and the high school girls do thumbs down.

It's fair enough, I am not saying you are wrong.

Maybe removing them and pushing people to express themselves more would be better, overall, as you say.

But if it is about the same bunch of people "liking" (or not) and interacting with each other, it would still go on, regardless.

The member status gone is a good thing.

Shame they took wkm away from you as soon as you got it, but what you put out there always shines, in any case, exactly the way it did before you got those orange letters.

Shall we start a poll to ask if the forum wants reactions removed, lol?

Thanks for the reply.

Not quite sure what this sentence means. You have read my position many times now. I would never need to "game" the system. The system was flawed since the beginning and glad the part that was broken is gone. But you already know that.
 
I don't have a horse in this race as I do more listening than talking, my post count is nowhere near some people that apparently just camp here 24/7 with notifications going to their phone perhaps? But, I can't help but wonder how and why I went from "well known member" to "member" with no explanation. In all actuality, likely because calling out a pair of muck rakers may be frowned upon by some, but actually by just skimming this thread all I have done was type what people were thinking anyway. Couple of people that I see no use for that act like 3rd graders running to tell the teacher what that evil milkbone did or said while providing zero useful information have no place here, they may be better served in a forum dedicated to growing old and the drugs, etc that they prefer to run out the clock a bit longer. Insults, condescension, all the way to blatant lying, in my view, can be a better fit in a place like, IDK, Facebook maybe? This is a site dedicated to harm prevention and sharing of experiences, reviews of sources, diet, and exercise hints and again, sharing what works for them personally. When astronomical post counts are built upon none of that but rather on doxxing, threats, and being a rat there should be no recognition, just an invitation to leave really. Doxxing to destroy a man's life via family court, false accusations of a member threatening a vendor with ratting to the filth (of course with zero proof), questions met with answers such as "down them all" referring to bottles or strips of medication, and all the other pre-pubescnt statements about showing a tranny penis are the opposite of harm prevention, that's harm invitation. What if the member that got doxxed lost his family and ended up committing suicide, not only is that harm PROduction, it very well could invite more LEO right through here gathering IPs and MAC addresses of any and all. Really worth keeping that activity around? On other forums I see news now how MESO is losing respect due to a couple of bad apples, is that really worth it? Rats in general are to be found in traps, because a rat is going to be a rat no matter what. It's in their character. Like the saying "Back the Blue Until They Get To You". Any serious talk cannot be had here anymore, the risk is present. Ratting to the teacher because you're mad becomes ratting to the law because you're mad.

Damn bro. I’m not reading all that. All statuses were removed for everyone a few days ago. It was a smart decision
