Web Why is 'wow' a negative reaction score?

[Maaarijn]

Hey guys!

I noticed a while ago 'wow', 'sad' and 'angry' count as negative for your reaction score. Meaning that if someone reacts with one of those three your reaction score goes down. I think this is good for the 'sad' and 'angry' reactions as they're often used to show you don't agree with someone, however the 'wow' reaction is used more to react surprised which doesn't have to be in a negative way. For instance to a surprisingly good map submission or an unexpected thing someone says on a profile post. It seems pretty unfair that it counts negative for your reaction score.

Do you agree with me? Let me know your opinions below!


Edit: After recieving a few "Wow" reactions on this thread my reaction score still went up. Guess they have already implemented it? Still the "Wow" reactions I recieved earlier count as negative tho.

I agree, from what I have seen it is not usually used in a negative way, so it doesn't make sense to me that would result in a negative reaction score.

Also, I hope you realise that everyone is going to react with "wow" on your post xD

After recieving quite a lot of "Wow" reactions on the thread my reaction score still went up I believe. Guess they have already implemented it? Still the "Wow" reactions I recieved earlier count as negative tho.
