[Misc] The Laughing Emoji- Has It Had It's Time ?

[brighton_tom]

Sometimes its the trolls who post ridiculous stuff on here, and laughing at the comment is the best course of action.

Would you prefer a good, old-fashioned LOL, instead?

Personally, I quite like a and a

NSC curry night to discuss emoji use? LOL

 

[US Seagull]

Maybe we need another emoji so that we can adequately distinguish between "I'm laughing because what you said is funny" and "I'm laughing because your opinion is trash"?

 

[Eeyore]

Well that went well.

 

[Anger]

Well that went well.

I noticed that.

Can you give us a TED Talk on ‘Making change happen’ ?

[Eeyore]

Well ONE person agrees with me. So the rest of you can f*** off.

Oh, that person was me

 

[Eeyore]

I think I'll just head back to the cricket threads and lay low for a while.

 

[Weststander]

Genuinely, I‘d like to see one more. The heart eyes one, but without the laughing ….. for example when showing compassion.

A ready replacement

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

It seems to have become increasingly noticeable in some threads that have a lot of folk in considered discussion, whether in agreement or not, that the only response of some is to use the laughing emoji. On one thread alone, a member has used it 50 times whilst only making ten, barely considered, contributions. This can be an irritation as they are bringing nothing to the party except mockery. It is clearly designed to troll.

So, is it perhaps time to get ride of the laughing emoji, or try another avenue to stop this ?

Just put said wanka on ignore.
There is another oaf who gives a thumbs up whenever his nonsense is called out.
Just put said w...(you get the drift).

its quite a good way for morons ti announce they have nothing worthwhile to add to a thread.


I say keep it.

Besides, what else is aspence going to do? He may have to examine his position on stuff and that coukd be painful.

Spence you say?

I have him on ignore.

Fancy that!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I don't get why some posters feel the need to put an emoji at the end of every post they make.

So that thick people can see that someone is just joshing?

I think a lot would agree with that.
