OneMoreFarang Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I wonder how some members will take this news. Now they will feel sad again when too many members laugh or are sad - and all without proper explanation why. The horror! I don't know why this expression just came to my mind. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is stupid AF OMG how complicated can it be without doing so much fix fax thing about posting and doing a moderator job. If I give an emoji, I want the person to know it was me, and if I get one my self, I think it is ok to know also. Especially when you know curtain individuals like to be serious or not, and therefor you know why you got it, or it is just someone having fun on your behalf.

Take responsibility for emojis given vs just more anonymous hiding behind the keyboard. Let the receiver know who gave them. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather see all emojis gone instead of the shoe fight we have here now. That's a pity, you just need to pay it less heed. I've had instances of the odd member seemingly upset with something I've said, then adding a laugh emoji to my every response in the topic, but it means little to me, and if it makes someone happy fine. Water off a duck's back. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but as somebody else said on this thread, it's probably designed to get more people posting comments rather than just emojis. If you can't let a poster know what you personally think of their comment with an emoji, you have to write something.

I better go warn myself now... I don't reckon this is a laughing matter. When you receive a laughing emoji (or sad or confused) from 'A' member for EACH and EVERY comment you make it is juvenile and antagonizing, it becomes annoying. I assume now that these emoji's have become unrecognized, the stalkers may not offend anymore. There are members that are chummy (school boy like), posting emoji's like, love, thanks etc. for their chums, this should put a stop to it, discontinue due to the unrecognized system. This forum must be a nightmare to manage for the moderators. Each member gets offended but we all are different and we find different things offensive. At times I've been offended by a comment and reported the offense but the comment does not get removed. My thoughts are to get a broader demographic of people that can judge on what and what isn't offensive.

nigelforbes Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I don't have a lot of confidence that removing the names of emoji posters is a good idea. I won't know who is trolling me and who to put on ignore and I don't trust mods to do that job for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can end up with a tread with alot of meaningless posts, where a emoji serve The same purpose, and less for those who want to read to scroll past. It just take some few to behave, and a emoji might stop a few trolling posts and less work. To know who gives you an emoji, let you know if you should give a better answer, maybe consider your opinions, or make yourself better understood, or you know from before they just stalking you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what moderation is for. On the other hand making the emojis anonymous could be construed as an attempt to modify the way that users express opinions, which is not particularly the job of moderators. If I like, agree with or wish to thank someone for making a point in a discussion then I think they should be able to know that. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KannikaP Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Would it be an idea for the Mods to explain as & when the re-instated emojis should be used. The difference between LIKE, LOVE IT and THUMBS UP for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
