i would think helpful would qualify for +1...in fact, real talk too...since they both imply that you have contributed something meaningful. just saying.

I think one +1/upvote reaction in sufficient, regardless of reason behind it. The 'Helpful' reaction got used in stupid ways frequently, which says to me that its distinction from Awesomesauce wasn't appreciated. It was as much a punchline as a legit reaction to use. I also don't want the Reactions list to look like a mission control dashboard; 4 is already more than I ever wanted.
I may add Real Talk & Hugs to bump for the Best Of list; that seems reasonable, it just isn't as easy to implement at the moment because code stuff.
well if hugs is for when we dont know what to say but wish to express feelings, AND if my 2 cents are worth anything, i dont know if that should bump best of list...again just sayin
PS i understand programming can be an issue sometimes, and i think i speak for all of us that we appreciate all the effort you put into keeping this site awesomesauce!
I was confused because the first time I clicked RealTalk it asked me if I really wanted to report the post. That must have been in the Vanilla Early Access Greenlight Alpha period.

They were my most proud "point" as well. May we always continue to be helpful, even without the currency which was used 80% honorable / 20% lulz. RIP helpful.

This is a valuable +1. I still think we need a "feels" when we don't know what to say, but want to express sympathies.
"Feels" is a Reddit thing. Around these parts, we hug it out.
We could poke it out too, you might think thats a Facebook thing, but even Facebook wants to forget it exists.
I have much better ideas in store.
YAY HUGS OMG YAY
24 hour implementation: Now that's client service!
I should note that "Awesomesauce" remains the only +1 point reaction. All the others are neutral.
hugs > points

It did until I removed it.
There's points?
I'd still like to be able to select multiple things. Sometimes you have a Lulzy Awesomesauce RealTalk moment
@Linc is always happy to service his clients.
And it didn't go unnoticed, I reserved comment since you probably have a plan where that will make sense.
While the non-Awesomesauce +1s don't give points to the user, do they still count towards the Best Of tally?
Edit: Based on the fact that my post with 5+ RealTalk and Midga's with 5+ hugs are not showing on best of, it would seem not.

There's a best of? Does this site have a read me somewhere? Are the levels? Can I cast spells?
Yes. No. 11. If you possess the required spellbook.

So are Helpfuls no longer a thing? I no longer see the option.
i think Real Talk could could effectively supplant Helpfuls...AAH! My points! Where they gone!?
I'm not going to lie, I miss helpfuls. I think that they were...well, helpful.
read it

I did, and I disagree.
They would have been useful if people didn't use them to troll, but that didn't happen
I totally get it, not even complaining. But there is a certain irony in picking options that are more acceptably trolled as substitutes.
Now I'll never get the badge for being helpful.
Gah I keep trying to helpful things..even in this thread
Sorry, that was meant to be in reply to xgp, not you!
