@Gwazi Magnum , I wanted to throw my two cents in, but it would've dragged the thread off topic, so I made a new one!I use the rainbow rating as a way of saying "This sounds fun!" or "This is wild!"
What meaning or message do you guys think of as being behind each of our rating buttons?
Like
Love
Thank
Useful
Bucket of Rainbows
Go Home You're Drunk
Cat Like Typing Detected
WTF Did I Just Read
You Get a Cookie
You Need a Hug
Nice Execution!
Like
"This made me smile," "I'm glad you said that," "I saw this," "cool story bro," etc. For me, this one is positive, but very casual
Love
"This made me laugh," "this made me feel all warm and fuzzy," "this made me go 'aww!'," "omg yes," " THIS THIS THIS," "I ship it."
Generally a similar but stronger reaction than Like
Thank
"I appreciate your message and/or the time and effort behind it," "you've done something I'm grateful for"
Basically what it says on the tin. It blurs a lot with
Useful
"I learned something!," "I'm going to use this a bunch," "this is handy to have / know!"
Bucket of Rainbows
"Woo!" "This made me happy", just generally a fun, cheerful lil sign to respond to fun, cheerful things. I also use it on non-straight romantic things in a supportive way," like to say "love it," "ship it," etc
Go Home You're Drunk
"You are being a sillyhead," "you are being mildly annoying," "well that's not true," "calm down!"
Cat Like Typing Detected
"Your keyboard done fucked up," "your formatting done fucked up"
I tend to not use this one and instead if it really does look too catlike to read, privately let the poster know and help them fix it. I've used it on spambots for kicks though.
WTF Did I Just Read
"Are you being le Lolrandom? Do I need to go find my spork?" "Wat." "You're being silly/weird," "This makes 0 sense," "I don't get it," "context please??" "You have confused me so much..."
I try to not use this in a chastising or critical way, instead I do like with catlike typing.
You Get a Cookie
Generally for something like "Good job," "Good try," "you deserve a reward of some kind," but occasionally "There you go, you special lil snowflake, you! *pinches cheek*" or "that's nice. Done now? Got that outta your system? Here's your hero cookie, off you pop."
You Need a Hug
"If I were there IRL I'd hug you" "that sucks, man" "you ok?" "I wish I could help" "this made me sadfaced"
Nice Execution!
"zing!" "Oh snap!" "Well done!" "Top-notch job!" "I'd comment, but there's nothing to add or I can't say it better" "wow!"
I often wish I could do two ratings so I could use the Thank, Useful, and Nice Execution ones in pairs.
