I'm not exactly sure how it works (if it's manual or based on reacts)
It's a ratio of reacts on that post vs others in that specific thread. I don't know what the ratio is, exactly, but a post in a less active thread might become highlighted with 5 stickers while one in the KCD 2 thread might require 12.
Not really ideal tbh. I don't think someone saying "vavra is gay xdddd" should be a highlighted post but perhaps the latest meltdown from him on twitter should for example.
In that case you might be able to weigh the stickers so :informative: contributes more to the highlight score than or something (will never be abused)

Pretty much my biggest reason for not suggesting it before. It would be nice if it could be use for relevant news/updates on a certain topic but alas someone will post a soyjak with a tranny flag on it's forehead nad get informative reacted for some EPIC trolling

I'm not sure how useful it would be but kiwi farms has a "highlights" feature where certain posts get marked as important in a thread and you can use buttons to jump through highlighted posts. I'm not exactly sure how it works (if it's manual or based on reacts) but it could be useful for certain big threads like the KCD one where there's constant new information coming out.
I think that is a standard feature (called Threadmarks) of Xenforo based forums. I've seen it on Spacebattles, TheSietch, and forum mafia websites. Useful for highlighting effort posts or news posts, or the next official post of a hosted forum game. Also good for highlighting mod posts that declare "don't talk about this in this thread anymore or you will be infracted", something I wish MMO Champion had implemented as no one is going to read every page of a 1,000+ page long thread and then they skip to the latest page, post a reply, and then get whacked with a ban because they missed a mod post on page 872 saying "don't say this!".

Tell me that when the KCD2 thread gets 10 pages in a day it's all worth reading. Go ahead and say that.

Such a feature sounds like something troons, redditors and other social media critters would enjoy. Just saying.

The thing I like about forums is that posts aren't more visible based on updoots like Reddit. You go into a topic, and read everyone's thoughts on it, not just "Top Comments" or whatever

It looks like there's a new font or amount of bold being applied to the site today. I request revert.

Looks normal on mobile. Will try disabling mods later because it looks like the font switched to verdana or something similar.

You can breathe a sigh of relief homo, turns out I'm not actually permabanned on fagdex... for now.
Doubtless, that will come to pass and I will come back on that day.
Until then, I hope you find a modicum of happiness in your life.
Respectfully, Sweeper.
Sup Rusty, I see you're still bullying my fellow Slavs.
