I've noticed in the Roleplay Room over the past while, there's been a few people thinking it absolutely hilarious to spam Reactions.
For the most part it is almost every single message posted getting a Cap reaction (this is to indicate that what's been posted is a lie, tying in with the gentrification and general use of AAVE).
Now, while this is harmless it is incredibly annoying as it moves the messages up and down the screen and makes an already busy room more difficult to follow.
However, there are some more concerning aspects to this. I've witnessed several times whenever some one mentions BBC (Big Black Cock) in a message or as a part of their name there are Monkey, Watermelon and Chicken Leg reactions posted.
It doesn't take a genius to know that one of these things is a racial slur towards black people, the other two are tied to stereotypes to do with black people (the Chicken Leg representing fried chicken).
I've also seen them used to harass Trans people (Trans Women specifically), Femboys, "Sissys" and other feminine presenting men or those identifying as female. Typically they would be given Thumbs Down reactions and Penis reactions but not just once; multiple times on each message.
I don't think Reactions should be taken away but spamming them should disabled and/or added as a mutable offence (not a full ban unless it's a regular offence, but some limited span of inability to post or something).
