As you know, a new reactions system was added to replace post ratings when the forum was upgrade. This system changed out some of the old ratings for new ones, though mostly kept the setup intact none the less.

However, as it turns out, there's one interesting feature it has that post ratings didn't:

Namely, a method of adding new ratings. Yep, as this shows, we can add new ratings and decide whether they're positive or negative, as well as edit the existing ones from the admin panel:

And based on that (plus @Crescent-Moon Villager's feedback in the other topic), that got me thinking:

Should we add some new ratings, as well as replace the existing ones with Wario themed counterparts?

Because it's really easy to do so, and it'd make things look more interesting than with the Facebook style ones present now. We'd just need the images in SVG format, and we'd be set.

So yeah, thoughts on the idea? And who would be willing to create some new reaction images to match the forum style?

I think it would work for a dumb rating, she has that kinda face anyways. You know, the Im totally looking down at you, you fool kinda face. The question marks look more like confusing than dumb anyway.
 
... Seriously? All ratings got turned into likes? And the good old XenForo emoticons are gone? I know updates are usually bad, but this is way worse than I expected. d:mad: (yeah... I'll have to use those here, now, when I can't use ASCII. :/)
 
I'm sure character based ratings would either be positive or neutral, just so we can use them for good and for bad. In this case, it would be preferable to be neutral.
The Wario rating (Greedy) is positive for the time being and may remain that way unless people want it as neutral. The idea is just to have a bit of fun, is all.

It was that or no ratings being carried over at all. Unfortunately, the previous ratings plugin wasn't updated for XenForo 2, and for whatever stupid reason, the script's creators seem to have done very little to actually move the software on in terms of including popular behaviour from mods.

Sounds fair.
 
So, it's a bit overdue a re-evaluation of the "Greedy" rating. Now that some convos happened and the rating has been used, would you guys like to see other characters as ratings in the same fashion?
Also, should we keep Greedy as a positive rating or make it neutral?

Keep greedy as is and sure we could use more.
 
Yeah, I think we should get more too.

I also still wish we had the existing ratings given Wario style sprites (like we did for the smilies in the Wario, Captain Syrup and Princess Shokora sets), but I doubt there's anyone who'll make that for us, at least not for free.
