2 + 7.9 + 2.8 = 12.7

2 / 12.7 = 15.748% insightful
7.9 / 12.7 = 62.2% agree
2.8K / 12.7 = 22% awesome

But those percentages don't really reflect my posts as a whole, because a large number of my posts get the fourth reaction-- no reaction at all. I'm not sure how we can calculate that, though.

You can't but you can look at the average number of reactions your posts get if you'd prefer a better idea of how often you get reactions vs post.

18.52% Insightful
70.15% Agree
11.33% Awesome

I personally use the Agree reaction when I find a post which I like or agree with, the Insightful reaction when something is interesting or informative, and the Awesome reaction when I find a post which took a lot of effort, is humorous, or is one which I especially agree with.

While that may suggest I'm an agreeable sort of fellow, I do recall some vehement disagreements over the years, some of which may be reflected in the 250 LOLs !

oh, posts are equally to points?

No, they're different, but the points calculation was never (to my knowledge) publicised by ZOS, more background info here:

I don't post much compared to others here. I am curious about the reaction percentage, as well as the Op's question.
(I, too, like finding patterns in this stuff. It's interesting.)

Ive done 469 posts with 743 reactions (63%) over about 8 years.

119 Insightful = 16.01 %
539 Agree = 72.54 %
175 Awesome = 23.5 %

So even with a small sample the ratio of I to A to Aw seems pretty consistent with most others here.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Would you be so gentle?

TaSheen · October 30

Apparently it got removed because people used it as a kind of downvote.... I would have never used it in any case, so it's fine that it's gone.

And Gina's no longer a CM; she's doing something with "content creators" now.

i would use it all the time. gotta show the people you appreciate their funny comments or jokes, am i wrong?

I find very little on this forum funny. When I do find something amusing, I'm perfectly fine with posting so.

honestly i think people got educated a bit like that here in the forums. i think if the button would still be present to this date, probably more joy and funny comments would be in here. maybe im wrong? perhaps that is also not what ZOS would want?

The problem arises when someone writes a lengthy comment that clearly isn't intended to be funny, such as their latest stream of consciousness about how ESO should be rebalanced introducing a completely new skill line that would make sorcs OP forever...

And instead of taking the time to point out the numerous deficiencies in their musings, people just laugh at them.

A lot of people don't like it when you don't take their ramblings seriously

ArchMikem · October 30

Insightful --- 3k
Agree ---- ---- 24.5k
Awesome -- 8.3k

I can't do percentages right now.

I would say Agree is the default reaction people use if they feel inclined to leave one. Awesomes are for those who are actually funny and humor is subjective, hit or miss. Insightfuls are rare, people either have to have seen your post as truly informative, OR, it's used as a snarky alternative to disagree or even mockery.

Syldras · November 1

Insightful: 1.581 - 10,65%
Agree: 10.034 - 67,58%
Awesome: 3.232 - 21,77%
Total: 14.847

I'm curious about this though: Is this just a rounding thing or does the higher value include deleted posts/threads?

But I am not participating in the race for demagogy (You just say what everyone wants to hear and you get points, regardless of whether it's what you think or not, and I'm mainly participating on french forum which has like 5-10ppl online a week then stats are truncated). So theses stats have no importance

Demagogy means manipulating people so they support your goals, not just getting "popular" (or receiving clicks or bonus points or whatever) by parroting some popular opinion.

Looks like someone just learnt the definition on internet and thinks i'm wrong.

Where did yo get your definition from? I'm seriously curious. As I'm a studied historian with a focus mostly on history of the first half of the 20th century, demagogy as well as propaganda are topics I have spent a lot of time researching. And there is a broad consensus about what demagogy is. I have never heard "parroting popular opinions to gain attention or likes (just for the sake of it)" being part of the commonly accepted definition.

pretty sure its just a rounding thing, the display is shorthanded and rounds up

in your picture for example, its showing 1600 because your between 1550 and 1649, as soon as it hit 1650, it would show 1.7k in the shorthand

I wonder how many people have the developer reaction.

based on what i could tell, the "dev" reaction is for having a pinned/stickied thread (if you look at the one in your profile, its the fashion megathread)
