Apparently, looks like the lack of knowledge people are the most empty vessels. That's not how the score board works. Reaction score is only based on the number of likes + positive reaction received, not giving. Giving does not give any score at all. You can test it yourself. Instead, it should be the other way around, everyone's reaction score is raising because getting from us. The reason why we rank so high is because almost all of our posts are well received by peers and a huge chunk of supporters with multiply effect. What does multiply effect mean? Eg, if i like 10 users, out of 10, 2-3 users will like us back in good favor hence we get 2-3 likes in return instead of 1.
Anyway, only a handful of users are having this issues and are spamming thread in edmw yet not reported for spamming thread. Most users are happy with it. Don't see these complainers complaining before migration. The moderators already addressed their issue, if they don't like it, they can off it but they are stubborn and wants the admins/devs to bend to their will like karen customers. If this is given in, the next time, you will see the same bunch of people complaining, "can off specific users who quote my specific post?", "can i block my haters from disliking my posts", "can block a specific user from creating thread?" and many more down the road.
Last but not least, a picture speaks a thousand of words.
