Reaction Limits?

[jimazoid04]

So I didn't realize there were limits in place?

I've been trying to comment/react more of late and when I went to like someone's post, I got a "sorry, you cannot add any more reactions today"

Apparently 10 is either the or my limit?

Moderator's Note: I believe there is a limit built into the forum software.

How do I react to a post?

You can't, yet.

After you've been a member long enough, and after you've participated sufficiently in *other* ways (making posts, replying to posts, etc.) you get the ability to react to a limited number of posts each day. As you continue to post, comment, and otherwise participate, that limit increases and eventually goes away.

The same is true for being able to directly message another member - something you only gain with proven "good behavior" on the site across the forums.

There are discussions elsewhere as to why, but in a nutshell: disruptive people were creating accounts and spamming other users with links to outside info (including some of which may have been non-cybersafe), and otherwise disrupting the forum here (certain reactions raise or lower the "score" of the poster being reacted to). 

The exact points at which you gain these abilities isn't posted publicly, precisely to prevent those same disruptive types from gaming the system to get to the appropriate level as fast as possible. At a minimum, your internal "score" (which determines what you can do on here) depends on length of membership, number of posts, number of replies to posts, number of topics created, and other peoples' reactions to what you post (so a thoughtful, well-reasoned reply may get you a boost if people upvote your answer).

Be patient, and it will happen.
