No, not those things what twinkle twinkle in the sky, like a diamond in my eye, but the array of green stars under my name etc. Just one week in and I seem to have crept up to an intriguing 5 green stars. How much higher can I go, I think, there’s no more room left on the page?! And then, slightly deflated, I see GOLD stars. Gotta get me some of those methinks!

And, while the newbie is in the saddle, I seem to be a ‘member’ (tread gently Valentina!!) with occasionally changing descriptions - eg. trusted, reliable, noble, verifiable, fantastic, life of the party (ok, I’m making some of these up!)

But pray tell, what’s in a label, and how but how do I get me a GOLD star??! I see some stalwart members have 3?! Go girls!! 💚😂💚

@alexina @ellyd22 I'll give you ladies another chance to break the tie.  Since that post was written, there have been a whole slew of new reactions (and I can't quite figure out the difference between Love and Heart). My whole career in IT begs me to think about all the unusual cases, and thus to ask the question, do the other reactions get the same half point as Thank?

Alison, the tie may or may not be broken by this as I got nuttin' and I'll have to ask. If Ellie knows, then the tie is broke. If she, too, has to ask, we're still (very lovely) pigs in a poke 😊.

@alison-anderson Newbie comment-reaction-feedback, if any use. The star-label system has value. It is only a vague indicator of activity, after all, peeps come and go, take breaks etc, but it does show that they have conformed somewhat to the site values, which btw are imho most worthy and right, though I haven’t seen them set out yet (no doubt another link might follow!). I also mention that my fat finger does occasionally seem to pick the adjacent reaction, and after two or three times of trying to change it, it definitely stays as-is, and unless it might offend, I think WTH and leave it be. I have felt the need for some more icon reactions at times, perhaps a sad one, but we do have the opportunity to insert these into our text.

No doubt though, newbie reaction, wonderful site, well constructed (I have some IT and systems experience-expertise) and wonderfully supported by an energetic committed team under great leadership, and most importantly, this attracts the right sort of participant members. (Sorry, the systems management consultant is also coming out of me).

WTG.

 

And thank you.

All of the reactions get the same 0.5 points as EXCEPT the shrug.

This is because WordPress requires that when there is a range of voting options one of them has to be a 'downvote', which is annoying. We didn't want there to be a 'negative' option so 'shrug' was set with a value of zero.

@ellyd22 Ah, it’s a negative reaction. Whoops! I thought it was just a neutral ‘dunno’. I’m guessing these cannot be amended. In the perfect (free) world, they don’t always fit the bill, and could be better I am finding, but no real big issue.

Not really negative as such, just non-committal 🙂

Snap again, Ellie! And both at 09:57, truly great minds don't just think alike, we act in unison!

And I've just noticed that I've now got two shields and am an "illustrious" member.

My first year celebration and now this! It's all too much for this simple girl, I'll better go and cut some peat for the fire, that'll bring me back to earth 😂

@valentina16 Heck, I don't think I have even 1 star, haven't really noticed I suppose, but it is intriguing nonetheless

@dazzler So, as a noble member, do you have to don some ermine, like wot they do in the House of Lords?

I could make a tasteless pun about ‘noble” and ‘member’, could be construed in a quite different full TG way. But I won’t. 😉

The system is certainly interesting and I could say that it is useful for generating trust. Which is very positive. It is true that my ego, as something inherent to human character, is flattered by recognition, but, if I am to be honest, I must confess that I am much more pleased by the support and affection I receive in my interactions on the site such as forums, chats, articles, messages, virtual meetings, as well as on the occasions when we have shared time and space in person. I truly feel part of this community and I want to express my eternal gratitude. I love you all.
