BigAlonBass Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Would it be possible to get rid of the "Confused" Emoji, and insert a "Rolling Eyes" Emoji instead? Recently, some of the Comments on a few Threads have become sillier, or even more radical, and they deserve nothing less. (Don't recommend an "angry" Emoji. I don't want these posters to think they're annoying me. I simply want a way to express my opinion on their 'views'). 5 1 Quote

BigAlonBass Posted January 4 Author Posted January 4 1 minute ago, neepheid said: Eh, don't be lazy. Be eloquent Nope. Some of the opinions and argumentative natures of the odd Poster, do not make me want to engage with them. I've seen other people post "eloquent" replies, and it turns into a pile-on, where the sensible reply is immediately classed as being written by a far-right scumbag. I'd rather just leave quietly... 1 1 Quote

prowla Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) TBH, I find emojis a bit passive-aggressive, but if there was a rolling-eyes emoji I'd use it on this thread! 🙄 Edited January 4 by prowla 1 1 Quote
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted January 4 Posted January 4 ….or perhaps this one 🤦♂️ Fwiw the confused and sad emojis do look too similar imho 1 Quote
BigRedX Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Even with my reading glasses on most of the "graphic" emojis look like anonymous yellow blobs, so I would have no idea what they are trying to convey. 1 1 Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted January 4 Posted January 4 They can be resized with the font-size control after they are added to a post. Or we can insert unicode emojis. On a mac this can be done with [control]+[command]+[spacebar] and they can also be resized 🙄 1 Quote
Bleat Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Isn't there a block function to just ignore people if you don't like their views what they have to say? 1 Quote
velvetkevorkian Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Just recite the Litany Against Discourse to yourself and move on. "I will not engage with bad posts. Bad posts are the mind-killer. I will face the bad posts. I will let them pass through me. When the bad posts have gone, there shall be nothing. Only I will remain." 1 1 Quote

For example, before they were introduced on Github many comment threads on issues would fill up with posts containing "+1" and no other text. Now, anyone wishing to show their support need only click the reaction emoji, greatly reducing clutter. 1 Quote

BassTractor Posted January 5 Posted January 5 (edited) IMO, rolling eyes are an aggressive form of communication devoid of facts or analysis, and the person using them tends to remain free from responsibility. IMO, rolling eyes are the tool of the coward. Also, @BigAlonBass's words "they deserve nothing less" tell a lot more about him than about these people. Who are you, BigAlonBass, to judge what people deserve? All I know of you is that you consistently have trouble understanding simple humour in the Funny Memes thread, and that you consistently cry out loud, demanding that people dumb down their humour so that even you can understand it. Do you REALLY think that YOU are the person to judge what other people deserve? My stomach turns. Edited January 5 by BassTractor 2 1 2 Quote

neepheid Posted January 5 Posted January 5 So, what have we learned? That the solution to argumentative threads is... to get argumentative in a thread? Or did I miss something here? Love, peace, health, prosperity and rainbows to you all. Free hugs if you want them, but you pay the delivery costs. 3 2 Quote
