    The only thing close is "Insightful" which I guess I could hack to say "Helpful". Brian and I are actually talking about whether to drop the "LOL" reaction and make it 1 simple up-vote reaction.

    I kinda like the LOLs. It's different from "awesome," I think.

    I do agree that LOL is different from awesome, but I guess I don't like LOL itself...? I don't know, reminds me of 11 year olds.

    How about Trolololol? haha.

    (Don't mind me, I just need more cheese with my whine)

    Hahaha I like "Lulz" :D

    I suggest going the other way. Rather than "awesomesauce" and "lulz", can we have "meh" and "heh"?

    But then we'd be feeding the trolls.

    Time to put on my curmudgeon hat.

    I'll be happy to be proven wrong, but in general I'm not a fan of +1 and -1 systems in forums. Having them appear on the posts themselves is fine, but far too often I've seen systems where there are accumulated points lead to some people trying to either game the system or create posts specifically to gain points, thus lowering the quality of discourse. You'll probably end up thinking of Reddit when you read this, but there are other communities I've participated in that had similar systems and similar headaches.

    I hope you at least have systems in place to deal with vote spamming. And in order to both test this and offset my curmudgeon-y response, I have Awesomesauce'D everyone in this thread. EVERYONE. Because, you're all awesome.

    Ok, curmudgeon hat off.

    There's no -1 system. It's only positive.

    I don't see the problem with clicking 'Awesome' on every comment or why I'd want to code a system to stop you.

    I now feel slightly less awesome about my comment, seeing as everyone got one :P

    I totally wasn't paranoid enough of everything already.
