    Why do people have an issue with woo being a negative comment? Hey not everybody says intelligent things, some people say mean things or just things that aren't agreeable. There is nothing wrong with a reaction of, no, I don't like that. Or no, I don't agree with that. When did everybody become so sensitive that we had to make everything rainbows and puppies to get through the day? I'm not saying bash anybody, and definitely not for bashing somebody's picture......I'm just saying so what if woo means hell no I don't think so......I think having comment words of nothing but kiss *kitten* is fraudulent and a kin to participation trophies.
    Completely agree, and not sure anyone (who's replied so far) has actually got a problem with it tbh. I just wanted to know whether the woo is good or bad...

    It is whatever you want it to be. haha

    Actually a moderator a few months ago said it was meant to be a "disagree" comment. Or to our friends in the UK, a "not bloody likely" comment.

    I remember reading that.....
    But I am part of a group that collectively decided to make it a good thing.
    And I know other people who use it as a "woohoo" good thing.
    So whatever.....

    At this point, like @CoffeeAndContour said, I will just take them all as positive, cuz I like rainbows.

    In our community Woo means that you think an idea or approach is too good to be true
    .
    From https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10570889/new-community-reaction-woo#latest

    It is not a positive reaction to a post and does not mean I agree, great, awesome, nice, way to go.
    There are many threads about the confusion.
    I don't have a problem with a negative reaction but do not use woo because of the confusion.

    Someone please clarify my confusion - is the 'Woo' interaction button a good or bad thing!?!

    A woo is always good. It is both a badge of courage to say the things that should not be said, and to offend the offendable. Woo count is the true street creed of MFP.

    I didn't know MFP had a creed. And if it did, I would have thought it would be more along the lines of, "Thou shalt do no shame."

    Hence my confusion. I know it's meant to be a negative, I wanted to know whether people were using it as such!

    Why do people have an issue with woo being a negative comment? Hey not everybody says intelligent things, some people say mean things or just things that aren't agreeable. There is nothing wrong with a reaction of, no, I don't like that. Or no, I don't agree with that. When did everybody become so sensitive that we had to make everything rainbows and puppies to get through the day? I'm not saying bash anybody, and definitely not for bashing somebody's picture......I'm just saying so what if woo means hell no I don't think so......I think having comment words of nothing but kiss *kitten* is fraudulent and a kin to participation trophies.

    I think most people have an issue with it being stupid. We would prefer a dislike button. Or stupid button. Something a little more clear. Woo appears to be an old fashioned term, or a less used term that not everyone has heard of. I think dislike would be the best option, personally.

    It's imaginary. It means nothing. It is just there to confuse users.

    He was just asking what it meant, not that it shouldn't be there.

    Completely agree, and not sure anyone (who's replied so far) has actually got a problem with it tbh. I just wanted to know whether the woo is good or bad...

    It is whatever you want it to be. haha

    Actually a moderator a few months ago said it was meant to be a "disagree" comment. Or to our friends in the UK, a "not bloody likely" comment.

    But is that how it's actually used on here? Seems to me a lot of people are using it in the positive.
