as for the and i feel both should be removed on the context of a forum is to discuss the positives and the negatives , and if someone disagrees with a comment instead of commenting on why they disagree (after all if they took the time to read a comment and then searched for an emoji why not go a little bit further and explain why you disagree ,instead they use the afore mentioned emojis. the facepalm emoji as been universally accepted across most platforms as the emoji for stupid /dumb/ idiot etc , , but i think in the case of the members that use that emoji the most on this platform are the few members that like to ruffle the feathers of other members here and a few of them have recieved timeouts for there negativity on the forum , obviously nobody expects everyone to agree with everyone , but when you get one or two members who abuse the use of the emojis as some little private pathetic gameplan they have ,then thats when it becomes a problem
it seems to me that emojis should only set off the attitude that they want to express.
There is no need to rely on emojis as a full-fledged assessment.
you are right, whoever wants to speak out will speak out, the rest only indicate their attitude to what is written with the help of emojis.
First, there should be pictures that show both a negative attitude and disagreement.
secondly, you just need to treat emojis easier, do not consider them as a statement, but only for the mood at the moment of the one who put it (perhaps right now he is upset or angry about something else)
Iām sorry, but communicating with emoji is not the best idea, but explaining the tone in which it is written is quite good
Hereās my simple solution for the scroll-jumping bug. When I want to check out what has been going on in a topic with 50 new replies, if thereās nice photos or videos, I first go to the last post using the slider on the right side, then scroll upwards through the messages in reverse order.
So, by giving me a thumbs down emoji because you disagree with my opposing opinion, what are you calling me? I disagreed with your comment, but I didnāt give you either of those emojis. Even if I had given you one of those emojis, I wouldnāt think you were an idiot, just somebody with a differing opinion.
Is your comment one of those, do as I say but Iāll do is I please, kind of opinions?
When you read a post, you can ignore whether you agree or not.
the thumbs down just means I respect your opinion and donāt agree.
āMan face palmingā
expression from my country. means stupid/idiot and I have no right to call any member that.
all due respect (end of subject)
Well, if thatās what you think it means in your country, then donāt use it on this forum. Simple.
Just because it may mean that in your country doesnāt mean it has the same meaning anywhere else, such as this forum. On this forum it doesnāt mean stupid or idiot, that Iām aware of. Itās a symbol of exasperation, or frustration.
"The facepalm emoji () represents frustration, disbelief, embarrassment, or disappointment. It typically signifies someone reacting to a situation or comment by figuratively (or literally) covering their face with their hand, as if to say, āI canāt believe this happened,ā
And, you donāt get to decide when a subject is ended. A conversation is over when itās done, when itās reached its logical conclusion, and thatās not for you to declare.
I am here since i think 2021, first only the website and later the forum
made some nice contacts here and been to good and bad times, just like real life
Way before Facebook was launched we had Hyves in the Netherlands, there was a wonderfull emoji named the dancing banana , which can be used on several occasions, maybe it would be good to have it here too
@GreenTourmaline Can we please do something against such subtle bullying of participants like Carlos does with basically every place when there are no lights?
Example here:
I mean if somebody writes like that as a joke it is okay but that guy is serious and bullies participants all the time with it. He even gives thumbs downs to photos participants post themselves when there is not enough light for him. For me personally this is no longer funny and should be stopped.
