Replace anonymous voting by public reactions
In this answer, Luap had said,"Reputation can produce negative behaviors" (Unfortunately I lost some links of Forum Codidact's reputation discussion).
We earn/lose reputation from voting of "anonymous users" (We just can't know who had upvoted and downvoted). But, we could get a reaction from specific/known users (We can know who had reacted on your post).
I would like to give reactions priority over reputation. I want the reaction score shown instead of reputation in profile or user tab
Just as PhysicsForum shows.
I want to show something more in profile. Profile will show Outdated, Bad, Dangerous and Worked for me.
- Outdated : It was working earlier. (So, no negative credit).
- Worked for me : It is working. (positive credit)
- Bad : The answer needs some improvements. (leaving it to staff/public) (I want it cause, some user (Me) can't write answer in English properly. If they correct everything than that user should retract his reaction. Earlier I had answered a question then I asked why I got downvote and Olin said it's for bad English. After writing the answer properly that user didn't retract however, which is totally not good (telling it from experience of Math SE). )
- Dangerous : Never try it (negative credit).
Above context would change depending on community. Questioner gets nothing cause they are here looking for help. Bad questions can't get good answer until it is understandable. So, questioner needs nothing. Although, there's upvote and downvote system. But no one will care about it. If someone creates a new account then react on his own post. Which post didn't work for anyone. Then moderator should have access to retract that reaction. Currently, some user creates new account and upvote his own post only for reputation, which isn't good.
In EE community, there's a duplicate account of Olin Lathrop. His name is Olin Elthrop. Not only one there's two account. I guess, someone else had created those accounts. He/She could use those accounts to take revenge (by downvoting posts) or, he/she could upvote his own post. But with reactions, we can know who had reacted to post. Moderator can't retract upvote or, downvote but they should have access to retract (remove) other's reaction (which I already mentioned earlier). Even, users don't have to explain why they had downvoted a post. But, they have to explain why it is dangerous while reacting.
In short: I want to have and show the reaction score instead of reputation. I was thinking of meta sites for a long time. But, I didn't find out way for meta (if reaction doesn't exist in meta)
