no smiles for you! (1 Viewer)

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

First off, Joe, apologies for the thread but I have to say something.


Are there really posters who are upset over a smile? I know, without a doubt your heart is in the right place.

Instead of taking away, smiles and laughter, might I suggest you tell the people who are upset over emojis, for good or bad, - to grow thicker skin? You know that will actually help them more, right?

I fear you are making concessions for people who will continue to push until only they’re left.


I won’t say anything again or start another thread. I’m sorry. With that said - this seems crazy.

i feel reasonably confident that joehan didnt take away the smiley i think it was abducted by aliens take that to the bank brochachos

 

[NutterButter]

I think the bigger issue is whether the post requires a tl/dr

SB22, I'm as miffed as you.
I don't understand what is going on

I did see an exchange in the Shark Pool that I'd rather not post, it did look like the emoji was being misused
Like if you are arguing or debating back and forth with someone and you hit the emoji, it can come across like you're laughing or mocking I guess

People have gotten some thin skin over the years, hate to speculate what triggered all this, it takes a lot of zip out of the threads IMHO
I hope it's just temporary

Is this related to the population decline?

Of course it is. As we quickly become extinct so do the emojis.

What smile went missing again?

I am avowedly against "likes" and reactions. I want my Web 2.0

However sometimes someone gets themselves so worked up over them that they get banned, which is extremely funny.

 

[AAABatteries]

With that said - this seems crazy.

100% agree with everything but wanted to emphasize this part. I messaged Joe directly and gave the same sentiment. I genuinely know it’s lessens the experience and will reduce my time here. And for what benefit?

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

Is it possible that this has something to do with the host and not Joe?

I think if you are getting upset for being mocked or disagreed with then you need to grow up, pretty lame to get the smiles ruined for everyone.

The restrictions will continue until there’s nothing left to restrict. As they say, “the road to hell* is paved with good intentions”.


*not meant in the biblical sense

First they came for the laughing emoji

[Mister CIA]

And now the smiling reaction emoji is gone. This is straight outta Back to the Future, where people start to disappear from the family photo.

You make me laugh

 

[Instinctive]

What is going on here anyway? If someone is being a jerk about it ban the person don't make the forum worse for everyone else. Idk why this is so hard.

If so…. Who really cares??

If you spent any time at all in the PSF, you would know that we have a handful of posters who never got over being shoved in lockers in high school. They whine non-stop about the slightest perceived slight, and the result is that the forum gets slightly worse for well-adjusted adults. I'm sure there are some of those folks in the Shark Pool as well, and I just don't know who they are.

As someone who was shoved in a locker in high school, I feel attacked.

Then again, I suppose I'm in the well adjusted anyway category. Or at least well enough?

And are we correct in assuming you were not ever one of those shoved in the lockers? Were you only a onlooker or a shover rather than a shovee? Just curious.

Yeah, I’m aware. And I know who some of them are in the shark pool too. I won’t name names but…It shouldn’t be that hard to figure out

It is sad really. It is just football

I tried to give this a laugh-face like, but instead you get nothing.

Can’t you see what they’ve done??

I find many of the previous posts amusing.

It sounds like there was a board update. Last time this happened we got image posting privileges for a few hours before the fun police came in.
