It has come to the attention of the mod team that for some members the accumulation of reaction scores became a contest. This distorted and devalued the purpose of members' reaction scores.
We considered several options, including completely removing the ability to 'like'. We all felt that 'liking' a post does have value, but competing for the highest reactions score is detrimental to BITOG. Therefore, we decided the best balance is to zero all reaction scores while retaining the ability to 'like'. Likes will be zeroed periodically and will accumulate between resets.
Thanks for understanding.
