Popular Post ezzra Posted January 23 Popular Post Share Posted January 23 (edited) Judging from the many "Confused" emojis that have been showing lately in many posts, i have come to think that many members here are bewildered, perplexed and plain Not with it when it comes to many topics, is this out of spite or just the mental quality of the people reading posts here, and yeah, i expect tones of those Confused and sad emojis to this post.. don't disappoint me guys...

Popular Post mfd101 Posted January 23 Popular Post Share Posted January 23 The problem with the 2 emojis is that it's usually unclear what they mean in any particular case: Does it mean he/she is confused/sad at the content of my message? or at the fact that I said it? Or is it a generalized feeling of sadness & resignation at the state of the world? It would be much more useful to everyone if the 2 emojis were replaced with signs for "I don't agree' & 'I can't understand a word of what you just said'. 3 6 1 2 1 2 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cdemundo Posted January 23 Popular Post Share Posted January 23 I think you mean members "who are intellectually challenged" not "members who's" which is a contraction of "members who is intellectually challenged". 9 3 2 5 8 12 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lacessit Posted January 23 Popular Post Share Posted January 23 Sorry, I have to disappoint you as I understood what you said. I am not confused by the fact you used tones instead of tons or tonnes, I guess AI has some way to go when it comes to spellcheckers. Tones are what the Thai language has. 1 1 1 7 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post freeworld Posted January 23 Popular Post Share Posted January 23 (edited) The intellectually challenged on the forum disagree when the title reads: "It seems that this forum has many members who's intellectually challenged" Anyway, gave you a free "confused" emoji.

Popular Post ezzra Posted January 23 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 23 Thanks for the grammar corrections, I stand corrected.. and yes, too many posters are giving confused emojis when there's nothing to be confused about so I'm thinking here, are they really that hard on understanding a simple posts or just trying to annoy and anger other posters?... 28 6 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post impulse Posted January 23 Popular Post Share Posted January 23 I miss the old days of TVF when I could hover over (or click?) the emojis to see who sent them. Nowadays, there's a few forums where I consider scrunchy faced emojis a badge of honor. As a personal policy, I only use the "like" emoji. Not worth the negative energy to choose between the scrunchy faces. 7 2 1 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mike Lister Posted January 23 Popular Post Share Posted January 23 Moderators can still do that, we see who is posting emjoi's and if it looks excessive something will get done about it. One poster, yesterday, received 15 sad emoji's in quick succession, from the same poster, which is just unreasonable. Said emoji poster is now, er, resting. 2 1 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestion would be to remove them all, with one exception the +1 green emoticon. Which is useful as nothing needs to be said when on one is in full agreement. Disagreement should always be a bit more elaborate. 1 5 5 1 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BigStar Posted January 23 Popular Post Share Posted January 23 25 minutes ago, impulse said: I miss the old days of TVF when I could hover over (or click?) the emojis to see who sent them. Something to be said for that, esp. when you get a lot of likes. However, most posters are too immature to accept a negative emoji and take it personally. Often leads to emoji stalking--which we still have, but much less. Hence the anonymity is on balance a good thing. In the OP's case, people just often disagree with his little cynical, stereotypical observations. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
