Thx As I understand it, based on a similar question I asked in a different thread, the fire is self explanatory. The MGS emoji is a placeholder for something Jamie is tinkering with and the ability to like your own posts, is in line with other social apps, so it is intentional rather than accidental.

I mean, sure, other people may just see an awkward solitary clap, but how the ritual makes _you_ feel is all that really matters. I’ve got my fingers crossed the MGS placeholder reaction is going to be a big shiny trophy. The suspense was more than I could bear, hence this post (what social media pros refer to as engagement).

GolfSpy_APH Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 As they stated the MGS Logo is a placeholder of sorts. It's for a project I am working on. Stay tuned. As for liking your own posts, entirely up to the person if they want to react to their own. Examples where I can see it being used is when posting links to articles where the post isn't so much about you, but the article itself. Others would be when posting photo threads, in going to be throwing up a emoji when I drop my T series photos, you can be assured of that. cksurfdude, Vegan_Golfer_PNW, Jnoble89 and 1 other 1 3 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!

Seems like self-aggrandizing to me. Kind of agree .. especially in the context of this forum and considering testing opportunities -- one of the things looked at by the Mods is number of posts and number of positive reactions, and the ratio between them. So just imaging a random scenario, it seems easy for a member .. eg. a newer member with fewer posts .. to pump up their own prospective ratio by, well, self-liking all their own posts... I look at this place as sharing stories and golf info (and also some fun non-golf stories and info) vs other social media .. where its whole essence is to self-promote and "influence" in order to get "engagement" and clicks .. in order to earn a share of the advertising and shopping revenue......

Yes: I'm an old boomer. Even if that was the case their best ratio would be a 1:1... we have seen 7 reactions to 1 post now with some of the threads. While we do look at that it's only a very small portion. Example we have several new members who post a lot in the good morning thread. That is a cheat code for boosting a ratio. We look more into where members are posting, days logged in and other data. The ratio thing is a bit dated for us now given all the other resources we have. cksurfdude and Fred Mitchell 2 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!
