Is it possible to use reactions in private messages? If so where do I enable that assuming you're able to. I can't find the option anywhere. Thanks!

Reactions are not available within private messages or within the warning system.  (Meaning other moderators cannot use reactions when commenting on other internal conversations in the warning discussion.)

Ah that stinks and thanks for the response.

Made a quick test and seems to work just fine:

 

It sends the notification:

 

And the most important: it doesn't show anywhere, since message is a private thing:

 

Let me know if anyone wants to test it. If no issue is found, I will submit to marketplace.

It's intentional that it's done this way to avoid that people like their own content with an alter ego account which would increase their reputation without really noticing where and why it was increased.

Agreed. Anyway, I think this should be an admin’s decision. He can control new accounts with email validation, check IP address, restrict messenger for the initial group, restrict number of reactions per day, etc.

I’d definitely like to try it out Adriano. 

So far it works like a charm. Thanks Adriano!

@Adriano Faria I'd love to test this out, too. 🙂

I think I know what you did, because I tried the same thing and was skeptical about how easy it was so I didn't post it. 😉

 

 

 

I also wrote the reactions system. /humble brag

Just did some testing and it's working perfectly! Thanks, @Adriano Faria! 🙂

Easy indeed. Trait + column ID in the conversation or message model (kinda drunk now). 😀

Can’t even charge for it. It’ll be free.

Based in Daniel's explanation above, I added a setting so the admin can now choose trusted user groups who will be able to react in private messages:

People that cannot react are still able to receive reactions.
