I have a question about the latest Discourse Reactions plugin. The description says, “This plugin will work as an add-on to the likes feature. Anytime you want to remove the plugin, all likes will be preserved.”

Does this mean that if I remove the plugin, **all reactions — even negative ones like “dislike” — will be saved as regular likes?**

Also, when using the Gamification plugin, **will all reactions (regardless of whether they are positive or negative) count toward points like regular likes?**

I just want to make sure I understand this correctly.
