Movin' on Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 I've tried to add "reactions" both yesterday and today and I get a message saying I cant - NOT important in the scheme of things but is this normal - I would guess I only add app 6 a day? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st ade Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Isn't there a limit of five "Greenies" per day? Perhaps the software counts all reactions as Greenies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movin' on Posted April 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Yes but I hit this "notice/limit" yesterday so why is it not allowed today and my reactions are varied not all greenies. I will desist for a while and see what happens in a couple of days time - thanks all...………………. Edited April 2, 2020 by Halsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MtB Posted April 2, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Forum policy is that you are NOT supposed to be enjoying yourself on this forum. Finding more than five posts a day that move you to the extent you want to express your appreciation or agreement is strictly BANNED as you are finding out. STOP IT.

MtB Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Does anyone have a rational explanation for why there is ANY limit on the number of greenies that can be awarded on here? This is the only forum I've ever encountered where they are rationed. It's bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only forum I've ever encountered where they are rationed. It's bizarre. Am I right in thinking that, years ago, one could award red ones as well as green ones, to indicate dislike or disapproval? In that case, perhaps the ration was imposed to discourage members from personally attacking others by awarding them multiple demerit points.

DHutch Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Valid question, and I must say I do not recall when and why we imposed limits on the number which could be given. When it first came it, you could only give a greenie, then it was expanded to all the different types, some positive, some neutral, and a down vote. We then removed the down vote option. Anyway, reviewing it appears members had a limit of 20 per day, new members 0 allowed, editors and patrons for some reason only 6. I have now set all of the limited up to 250 per day which should in effect remove the limit, without strictly being unlimited in terms of floodcontrol.

This is the only forum I've ever encountered where they are rationed. It's bizarre. I've been on several fora where they are rationed. Generally the reason being that you get cliques of members who up vote just about everything others of the group post. This can discourage quieter posters who might spend a bit of time and effort on a review or trip report only to find some inane one line contribution has had more reaction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me somehow of the Eurovision Song Contest. Oh, have a greeno by the way. I seem to have some spare....
