The heart broken as sad does not appear as negative to me, and despite the wailing a negative reaction is often needed. Thats the idea, The sad was abused and often used as a negative; now if a negative is wanted, the thumbs down is there. 1 1 1
digger70 Posted April 21 Posted April 21 Sad emoji people & Confused emoji people Most of them aren't smart enough to reply, others just do it to annoy the poster ,and some don't understand the post if english isn't their home country lingo. This would be an easy fix If the mods just got rid of the 2 emojis . 🙏 2

Why join a Thai forum if you don't want to discuss Thailand? Let's see how man sad emojis turn up from the miserable people. Mute point now. There is no sad emoji anymore, but I am glad to see a thumbs down. But, no worries, h-fan, I didn't leave any emoji. I thought it was better to comment. 😇
ukrules Posted April 21 Posted April 21 These emoji things are largely irrelevant, does anyone even really look at them or care who's clicking what? Having said that I do like the thumbs down emoji, I suggested that the poop emoji might be a good idea a few years back but that didn't seem to stick 🤣

That's because the "sad" were replaced, so all previous sad are now heartbroken.Any previous "Confused" are gone! 1 1
Popular Post steven100 Posted April 21 Popular Post Posted April 21 Please understand, if anyone has inadvertently received a broken heart from me it does not mean I had any feelings for you in the previous emoji life. 1 4

"Love", "Like", "Group Hug", "Kumbaya"? Let's also not allow negative comments or disagreements. People need to grow thicker skins, I am astounded how many people here get upset by emojis. 2 1 2

I find the confused emoji says "I am dumb" more than anything else, in most cases. Now that we have a couple of new ones, I wonder hom many hearts I am going to break. 1

Ah well, we can't be sad any more now it appears we have some new options: Thumbs down ticks most -ve boxes. Heart-broken? Super sad?

It would be hard to keep up with the OP. He is often on 100+ posts a day. A firm believer in quantity over quality. Posting is his life its all he does. He even outdoes bob smith et al. 1 1

Hey Charlie, can we get rid of the anonymity of the emojis? maybe have a poll first, I'll post it if you give the nod. I'll add that facebook and another forum i use both show who made the emojis, so it's more normal to show 2

Not really. Sometimes something is just so incredibly stupid that you just want to register that and either don't have time - or patience - to engage with that person as you know it would be pointless. I certainly don't have time to write a response to every stupid comment, but I want to register that I think it's stupid. Much in the same way you can give a thumbs up or a smiley but you don't respond to every single post to say how much you like it or how much you agree with it. What's the difference?? Can't have one without the other. Upvotes, downvotes, they are all good. 2

Popular Post johng Posted April 21 Popular Post Posted April 21 47 minutes ago, digger70 said: maybe that should be deleted . Strong disagreement from me on that idea negative comments and disagreements are vital for a healthy discourse , censorship should not be necessary if the argument is convincing, petty name calling and flame wars are all part of a robust conversation that has been going on since the days of the Bulletin Board dial up modem days. Too many very thin skinned easily offended persons about nowadays offended by a confused or sad emoji... come on Take away the disagreement and you quickly left with a very stale ,boring echo chamber IMHO 4

The sad one I am happy to see go away and like the thumbs up/down alternative! The point of the broken heart one I just don't get! 1 1
