Forum Post Emoticons


Recommended Posts

Who was responsible for choosing the ones we've got ???  And can we have more ? It seriously lacks 'shocked' and 'horrified'  emoticons which is often my first reaction when reading many of the posts in these forums. Rant over. Carry On.

We can use the emoticons available in the reply bar. I like to make them super big. 🤔

I can't see them for some reason.  I see this:

 Oh this is in Win7,  before emoticons became the new way of expressing yourself when you never learned to write.

I see them OK in WIn10.   Pfft.

Hypothetically:

 

Can't wait to see all those pretentious face palms from all those theoretical home bodies that have no experience in second life, yet believe their face palms are somehow not ironic .

We need a facepalm emoji, so we don't have to use laugh, confused or sad for posts we think are stupid.  We also need a hug & congratulations.

The laugh icon is also useful for when you think the poster is stupid 😂

iirc, the reason for the dearth of available emoticons was to prevent weaponizing the 'negative' ones and limit emo-flaming.

Someone was whining a while back about how the laugh emojii should be considered harrassment and ARable when the post wasn't trying to be funny.

Whaaaaaa they laughed at me 😂

I agree! 👍 I think we definitely need new ones

😍 - this means I REALLY like your post - so I might heart "LL has done a deal with Thunes", but would heart-eyes "LL has done a deal with Thunes - AND SPLODERS ARE COMING BACK IN JULY!!!"

😮 -  "wow!" or "I can't believe it!" (for example, response to Sid saying"I have been banned from Motown!")

🔥 - hot take! A very good point

😤- "I disagree!" (response to "Putting pineapple on pizza is a crime")

🙉 - "TMI!" 

🤢 - this would have been ideal for the 'Gross' thread!

🤖 - "Bot hands typed this"

🥂 - "I agree, but not as much as if I had used heart-eyes...kanpai!"

🎃 - Halloween edition heart-eyes - only available in October!

👻 - when somebody necros a post from 2012

☘️ - "Good luck!" 

🔐- "IBTL"

☢️ - "I bet this thread is nuked by tomorrow morning"

🖕  -"Bless your heart!"

This is absolutely why it was removed from most platforms.

In some ways I agree, too. If we're going to be negative, why shouldn't we have to actually commit and also accept any moderation consequences?

As with the current reactions, these can also have multiple meanings of course!

 🔥 - That pic is REALLY HOT!!

☢️ - Response for Alphas

  🤖 - White Knight typed this (bot head looks like knight armor also)

 ☘️ - "Touch Grass" (Shamrocks / clover grows amongst grass) 

🤢- I am turning different colors from holding my breath because I better not reply

 🥂  - Poster is obviously drunk and / or stoned

 🙉 - Furry giving a "double finger", use when Furries are not amused

etc.!

This and many reasons is why I like using my "stickers", which can convey many different emotions on a personlized basis.

This was the subject of a peeve I posted the other day. This board software has a plethora of reactions, they should let us have them all!

If we don’t have the appropriate fancy modern emoticon available then lets just do it like we did in the old days on IRC

   ../ ́ ̄/.../ ́ ̄\......          ......./`\.../`\.

Note that your example is not very visible in "Dark Mode", possibly due to the font color chosen:
