Bitcoin Forum

Since the time i am using bitcointalk, we have the same number of Emojis in the compose section.
If you look at other applications like Whatsapp / telegram etc, they offer so many more choices of Emojis but in here we have only these few Emojis .

Is it time to increase these Emojis ?

This is simply just a really really minor thing that I don't think it matters. Especially knowing that some people like using an unnecessary amount of emoticons on their posts.

Also, Windows 10, OSX, and Linux has Emoji support in the first place. Why need to integrate them into Bitcointalk?

Actually, these aren't all of our emoticons. There are some hidden.

>:D ^-^ O0 C:-) 0:)


I wouldn't say so. What did it change compared to 2009? I think that if the admins decided to just change the emoticons, they'd be getting feedback to make other greater changes than just adding a bunch of faces.

That. Google chrome also allows you to enter any Unicode 6.0 emoji you want.

The forum is old and many members in this forum are not young. They don't really like emoticons, in particular if users abuse emoticons.

The forum is for exchange or discussion of ideas, not emotions. I agree that forum members can show emotions but please don't abuse.

This issue repeatedly ask for many times.

I don't think it's fair to compare such applications with a forum ^{[they belong to a different category]}.
^{- Check other forums and you'll see the difference isn't that much.}

It's not; I can't really see a need for adding more of those.

I use Android for this, and as commented in previous posts above that there are ways you can go about it on computers. If I can do this, I think it is an obvious reason that your suggestion is not necessary. Although, I do not against your suggestion. There were more, but I was tired to input all here.

Who needs emojis, when you can just https://loyce.club/other/care-emoji-for-bitcoin.pngembedhttps://loyce.club/other/care-emoji-for-bitcoin.png images?

This is one of the most important suggestions for the forum in the last 5 years. Without emojis how are we meant to communicate efficiently? How am I meant to adequately poo-poo someone's idea without a pile of poop emoji? 💩 How am I meant to display sheer shock and awe without the eye lips eye face 👁👄👁. How am I meant to simp or express my utter attraction for someone without multiple heart eyes emojis 😍😍😍. How would I ever initiate sex without the fingerbang emoji 👉👌. How would I ever know someone is horny and wants the D without the cipher of the eggplant emoji 🍆. It's just too important of a feature and theymos needs to get with the times ASAP otherwise I fear it's only a matter of time before we lose the ability to communicate.

See, it's just not the same when they don't show:

Ain't nobody got time for that. It already takes way to long too type actual words.

The speed the forum loads if this happens ↘️.

Wasn't the emoji keyboard on android open sourced a while ago? It might be possible to put it on a main computer or just search the alt codes for windows.

I'm pretty fine embedding emojis from external websites since they're supported here.

Plus, the basics pretty much suffice for an average conversation. We have the happy face, sad face, angry face, laugh face, roll eyes. Nothing more that could be used as expressions.

It's a good suggestion, but meh. This is somehow a bit similar to having a "react" button suggested here in the forum as a sign of expression.
I prefer neutral comments with just a minimal expressions.

I was not aware that this works. Typing in mobile is quite annoying. :D

Tell me about it ;D

But emojis on mobile are easier to input. If setup properly (I use Gboard), all you have to do is simply tap on hold on the Enter key and voila, the emoji board is there.

Have you tried using emoji on your computer and not working, or you just do not even bother to check it out.

Try to read this if you find it hard to get but which shouldn't be hard for you

I'm with the opinion that Emoji's are for messaging platforms, rather than a discussion based platform.

If users had the common courtesy of reducing them to tolerable sizes, then it wouldn't be too bad. I imagine a lot of users here already block images, and scripts on this forum.

Honestly I'm not interested in Emojis, I rarely use them.

Yes, I know everyone has different eyesight, sometimes in our eyes it's bad, but sometimes in other people's eyes it can be good.

If you want to use Emojis that are unique and maybe look good on your eyes, you can follow the advice of @Charles-Tim, you will find it all.
For example:

Nope-rino. I never used emoji in my computer and I thought it was like a mobile-only feature. :)
I am not that much into emojis. I got used to the simple text emojis like we all know back when Yahoo Messenger was still a thing.

Gotta agree though.
Still scrolling down just to find that emoji is still annoying sometimes.
I even recall one of my colleagues in a chat thinking that I wasn't interested to reply and got mad, only to find out that I was still struggling to find that one single emoji.

Lol, imagine if it's your SO instead and you have to explain the late reply all because of a single emoji 😂

Now I noticed, you're a fan of Dead Space?

Yep. I hope you do not encounter that kind of annoyance as well.
Other people think that I am too serious or I got beef with them just because I reply without any emojis or any slangs like lol,lmao, etc, that's why I am forced sometimes to use emoji.

Yep fan of the franchise. I wish I could still change it, but it's one of those regrets that you cannot change.
Good thing that I didn't use my Reddit username when I register here. Might die due to cringy username. :D

Personally I feel that by using emojis, it lighten things up and makes conversations less serious just like this.

Oh! Why the change though? At least it's way better than 360NoScopeDoritos and the likes. https://cdnv1.csgo500.io/emotes/risitas.png

I only really find them effective when your being particularly sarcastic, since that's pretty hard to convey over the internet, and through text. This also goes for anything which your saying in jest, but could potentially be interpreted as serious. Maybe, I'm getting old, and I'm just not that fun to be around anymore, but I tend to only use them when texting, and rarely on discussion based platforms.

Why offer only emoticons? This is also being deprecated. Today, animated stickers, are in vogue. Let's make the forum a Christmas tree. ;)
You can also change the rules, where replies to messages can be given with several emoticons or stickers.
In general, thanks to the OP for the raised question. It was quite interesting to read on Wikipedia and learn about the creation time and history of emoticons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoticon
Sometimes we get used to certain things and do not think about their origin. You can equate emoticons with an international language. After all, these cute faces are understandable to absolutely all peoples.

It's cool, the interpretations of emojis are subjective. Some justify the usage since it's akin to expressing facial emotions because text is simply... text. I'm one of them, as I perceive them to make the conversation more light-hearted.

Words can also be used as a substitute too.

Maybe I wouldn't mind to have all these emojis, but I'm not sure that's really needed. Sometimes I miss few emojis that I often use when chatting. But it's not must have thing. Emojis may help to make your post more lively, but like on social media, some people tend to overuse it and then text becomes difficult to read. Also, with high number of emojis, forum may become to load slower.
How did you made it? I tried to type emojis from my Android keyboard, but it's not displayed after I type it.

Only reason I would want emojis is so that I can post some copy-pastas.

I wanna make this a copy pasta. Permission pls hilarious-senpai 👉👈 uwu 😩😳😫😻


But yeah, some emojis would be nice. I could see it go horribly wrong here however, but shouldn't be a deal breaker.

That's strange, they should be natively supported. What keyboard are you using?

https://i.ibb.co/tbQgLgn/emoji.jpg

If you are looking at potential plagiarism, you should strip out things like punctuation and emojis prior to reviewing. It would probably also be good to filter out stopwords, but that can be expensive.

I do agree with the OP. I think this is a very important upgrade and Theymos should promptly devote maximum resources to allow for additional emoticons, preferably before the new forum software is implemented.

Implanting additional emojis will result in additional page views 📺, which will result in additional advertising revenue 💲, which will allow the forum to invest in toilet paper 🧻 futures. This will be the key 🔑 to making sure bitcoin will be successful 📶, and not like the bathroom 🚻, and the price will go up 💹 really high🪂, and the g he haters will be silenced 🔕, so it will be the end 🔚, of CSW claiming to be satoshi 🔬, and so Covid 🦠 can be stopped.  It will also make the forum a magnet 🧲 for fans of emojis 🕯, and tools 🛠 to communicate without words.

Well, personally i didn't know how to add additional emojis in windows 10 from my laptop. There is a way to post Emojis from mobile but using bitcointalk from mobile is a hectic work.




Its time consuming if you embed images in place of Emojis.

No.[1]

Create your own emojis, if necessary to convey your ideas with greater potential.


[1] emoji is a click, (image) the other is a copy and paste, you just have to have it txt file.

What I do think is important is that the emojis in the forum should be orange and not yellow. https://i.imgur.com/NaAPOdA.png

OP, I quite get your drift on that. Sometimes I had had the intention of using certain emojis but didn't find them on BTT. I was able to solve that issue as an Android user by installing Kika Keyboard from playstore. That way you get any type of emoji you need to insert in your post.

This is a community that is meant for contribution, suggestions and development of cryptocurrency, i believe that this platform don't really need emojis, because the cryptocurrencies has their personal symbol which can be use in place of emojis, from my perspective i seen emojis like symbol use for personal conversations such as WhatsApp and Facebook, so I don't think it will be necessary to apply numerous emojis here, Even those we have is enough to use, ok if i may ask what are the important of emails.

I use default Google keyboard. When I type it, it appears on reply area, butvas you can see in image below, it's not visible when I click Preview or Post button:
https://ibb.co/8BqBNgd

Same, but now I know what's the problem and how to solve it.

Emojis will appear if you enable Quick Reply and preview the post, but will disappear if you preview the post again.

So don't preview them and you'd be fine.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you have been living a lie, and it's time you found out the truth. The poop emoji is just a copy of the ice cream cone emoji. They are the same, but one is white and the other is chocolate or poopish in color. I know, it's hard to digest. :'(

https://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/icecreampoo1.gif

Here is the proof:
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/poop-emoji-ice-cream_n_6857388

LOL.  My feelings exactly.

I am no fan of emojis and rarely use them, not on this forum, not on my phone, not anywhere.  They were cool back in 1997 when I started to use the internet regularly, but they're just silly to me now.  But that's just me--if other members want to use them (and want a wider variety), why not?  On the other hand, as pointed out by BlackHatCoiner, LoyceV, and Charles-Tim, there are ways to insert emojis that aren't necessarily available from the forum.

There's a very thin line between ice cream and poop.  And keep in mind that the end result of eating ice cream is evident in your toilet about 16-24 hours later.

I don't even use them in here, but I use to use them in other places. It use to do me as if it is against the rule to use them here. Since it is not against the rule I think I will start to use them to arrangement my posts or comments.  8) 8) 8)
I think it is cool but I did not see love emoji.

   I do not even use Emoji in here due that the mostly thread in bitcointalk was very serious. For me it's better to have that emoji only cause in my observation from any social media that a lot of emoji that they can choose to post indicate in their object , some how they can choose bad emoji or not good to expressed. So it's better to have a less emoji in my part.
 

I agree we need more emojis or at least an update in the current emojis because they look outdated and too simple right now. Although on a second thought I feel like that's the beauty of bitcointalk and the lesser use of emojis is what keeps the forum more serious and discussions are not turned into jokes. Sometimes having too many smileys can be a problem especially when we are using them at a forum like bitcointalk where almost all the senior community members talk with each other.

I also agree with @loyceV that we can always embed images when needed so the lack of smileys is not a concern and big thanks to @BlackHatCoiner and others for making me aware of the hidden ones, somehow I wasn't aware of them yet.

Emoji has a wide use to any ecosystem as this help members of the communities to communicate effectively. This is one of the features that's most common to most social media platform. I urge the mod to give this topic favourable consideration.

Emoji are powerful and unique pictorial representation use for communication between people existing in the same ecosystem. It help helps convey message in an easy and simple pattern. It's good idea demanding for more useful emoji. This will ease people from writing long story

I think they can be helpful in certain scenarios to denote things like humour and sarcasm (which is often hard to detect over the internet) but they're really becoming overused especially with Gen Z. I have friends or know people who send me text messages and sometimes they're hard to decipher because they're so poorly spelled or littered with abbreviations and emojis I have to spend a few moments trying to decipher them and it's only going to get worse. I don't mind a smiley face or such and I use them every now and again but the younger generation really do seem to be communicating in the majority of emojis and tend to to employ them over speech whenever they can. 

Outdated compared to the brand new SMF forum software from 2006-2009? Call me old-fashioned, but I see no reason to change something that works. I would rather see more topics where I go wow, what an unbelievable post, rather than having this place turned into a smiley fest. Mobile compatibility is the first thing I would focus on. There is a problem that needs some fixing even though many users say they don't mind browsing the forum from their smartphone, but the experience is really bad.

Who cares about smileys ::) (see?)
