Looking at some of the profiles I see this reference to “cheers”.
Have not been able to find where they are defined or how they are awarded. I do know that it isn’t a reference to the TV show
Would someone be kind enough to provide me the link to that explanation post?
Thanks
Well, Merriam-Webster may shed some light on the subject:
Though, on the topic, I rather liked Cheers the TV show.
I have 26,358 cheers. I occasionally like a glass of good scotch when reading the forum, but at the price of Glenlivet 20 I assure you I have not raised my glass 26,358 times.
Who knows what “cheers” means?
While we are asking questions, how come they don’t tell you which of ones post are being flagged? It may be that I am not using enough exclamation marks. 
Oh, I forgot entirely about the fact that cheers also refer to the points-based system. The leaderboard counts how many you have obtained.
I think this: 
and this: 
are cheers and maybe 
is but since there aren’t any “jeers” options except maybe 
it’s not easy to tell.
