Emoji Selection

[takebudday]

Hello,

This is a rather minor suggestion however it is something that is rather nice.

My suggestion is for MC-Market to adopt the Tweetmoji open source Twitter emoji system.

My reason for suggesting this is that the current smilies pack we are given is severely limited and looks outdated to early forums sites with only a few options being:
facepalm:rekt::rofl::tdown::tup:</3

Adding the pack allows for a more unique form of communication, thread design, profile design, and is something utilized by every person connected to the internet or cellular service.

The pack is provided by Twitter themselves, for free, with open source, and comes with dozens if not hundreds of options.

Thank you for your consideration.

If they add more, it will just be spam. I think maybe a way of just changing the look for the emojis per person might look cool, so people can upload their own emoji or whatever.

I don’t believe that adding a wide array of proper emojis to the website will cause spam, it just allows users to express themselves more efficiently.

They could also add it as a separate package for a few dollars or have it come with Supreme / Premium which would generate revenue and lessen potential spam.

I agree.
I dont disagree.
I back this idea.
I dont know what to not say.

But I can cope with the current emojis, a emoji update is nowhere near crucial.

From the official suggestion guidelines thread - "Any suggestions related to modifications to the reaction/rating system will be declined. This includes removal of the entire rating system, additional ratings, changing ratings to neutral, etc."

Not to say I disagree with the suggestion, just that they clearly do not plan to change the system.

Personally I've never had a problem with our current smilies. Yes, they're a bit outdated but it's never been worth updating to XF2 in order to fix this, or for us to implement custom development to add the functionality.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.

Reactions are very different to our smilies/emoji/emoticons. This thread isn't suggesting we add new reactions, just that we add more smilies for people to talk with.
