AKA the least useful rating and should be the first to go. Rate this post to vote.
Child Molester is the worst because unlike the others it has no real application. Calling someone a snowflake or a baby may be redundant as dumb covered both, but Child Molester isn't even a good insult.
Child Molester was funny for a bit, but it should just be replaced as dumb. Should pick either Baby or Snowflake. The others are great.
bring back the box
The forum doesn't feel the same without Dumb and Optimistic.
Coin is clearly the most useless because no one rates me with it.
I kinda wanna say baby, but honestly the lucky rating is kinda more useless
Child Molester is just weird cause it feels so out of place, especially on a forum that's kind of centered around Garry's Mod and Steam games.
Diamond is even more useless
if its so useless i guess you wouldnt mind rating this post diamond then
I wish we had informative back, because that one was pretty useful.
big whoop has not been used much yet i think
Good Idea is used to replace it put it doesnt really work as well on post where you just dont understand. Probably because its yellow and looks positive.
Personally I miss winner the most.

Considering we have a rating that outright calls someone an asshole, all the other negative ratings seem redundant. Maybe snowflake is an exception, but barely.
Just bring back all of the old ratings
A walking, talking case for the return of optimism
I'm glad that there is an asshole rating, for the dumb rating was frequently used for that purpose, though with that rating now gone, the ambiguity will remain, albeit flipped.
Bad Reading is fair enough but wasn't Bad Spelling removed because of how it distracted people from the point of the post in question? Even without the rating, any non-shitposts on this forum tend to be fairly comprehendable english anyway. Also I don't like the idea of Big Woop. If you make an uninteresting post or brag about something inconsequential you just don't get many replies or reactions. Having a one-click method of saying that content is dull sounds like a good way to stifle discussion. There's a difference between dull content and actively bad content, which is what Dumb was useful for.
if we remove child molester then what the fuck am I going to rate users with skimpy catgirl avatars
Asshole is probably the dumbest rating to ever get here. It's just blatant flaming, in the form of a rating. I can't wait for people to get banned because they're upset people are rating them asshole.
I think the text on most of the ratings should be removed, sans bad reading. By giving them names, they're being split into the meaning of the name itself, as well as the meaning conveyed by the image. Ratings such as sympathy don't converge on the two parts of the meaning well, and others like child molester and cookie are so ambiguous that they just don't make any sense. Good: Baby, idea, snowflake, asshole, bad reading, lucky. Bad: Molester, cookie, whoop Meh: Bad spelling is kind of kneejerk and doesn't add anything to a conversation. Sympathy is vague but I like the idea of emotion reactions. Cute/love have a lot of cross-over, and the icon for cute is too busy. Also https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/203484/cb6f9f68-ef59-4fa3-bac5-f0bec80fa4a5/image.png is too iconic to facepunch to leave behind, even if it contradicts my previous point.
I liked zing.
Child molester is the most outstanding one that doesn't really fit but imo love, sympathy, and cute should all be rolled into "Friendly" using the heart rating. Asshole seems kind of flamey too but if the idea of making people pay for "negative" ratings takes off, that being a pricier option could be funny. I can see big whoop having funny uses in SH/Polidicks
i think it's way too early to determine this honestly
I don't think ratings need to be removed, per se. Just consolidated. Asshole/Child Molester/Snowflake/Baby/Big Whoop are all the same thing, essentially. Remove them and give us a box. Cute/Lucky/Cookie/Love have no real reason to be here. They're too specific and can be consolidated into Friendly again. Bad Spelling should be erased completely. There are a lot of people here on Facepunch that English isn't their first language and misspellings are common and understandable. And honestly, typos are expected. Good Idea I think should be kept. A lot of people are saying it should be replaced with Informative - but why not have both?
I think the ratings should be some positives, some negatives, some constructives, and then the coin based ones. Positive: Agree, Funny, Friendly, Zing, Artistic, and Winner Negative: Disagree, Dumb, Late, Bad Reading, Bad Spelling Constructive: Useful, Informative, Good Idea, Optimistic Love, Sympathy, and Cute would be covered by Friendly (i.e. it'd be a heart again) Cookie and Lucky would be covered by Winner (People won't stop giving coins if Winner exists, they just don't rate if they don't want to lose coins right now.) Child Molester, Baby, and Snowflake would be covered by Dumb (I can see arguements for Baby and Snowflake, but they're both covered by dumb and I'm trying to reduce redundancy here.) Big Woop is barely used and is just a dismissal of a post. In which case you should just ignore the post if it doesn't warrant a dumb rating. Subforums should also have custom ratings (on the roadmap) but I'm only suggesting ones which should be general across the site.
I really hate the "cartoonish" look of the new ratings. Facepunch shouldn't look like a forum made for the Emoji Movie.
I don't even know what Big Woop means I just assume it's someone giving a consolation balloon.
