Forum:Chat Emotions for Community Central - Your input is needed!

Well, besides the fact that we need to update the emoticons either way, we were discussing it briefly in the community skype channel. We're thinking about changing the emoticons so that we don't have as many and that we have a good, clean list.


 * Emoticons that don't get used

 * Emoticons that can go
 * http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120211012003/random-ness/images/6/61/SpamFood.jpg
 * http://images.wikia.com/central/images/e/eb/Emote-Ping.png

 * http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/95/Emoticon_horns.png
 * http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/central/images/6/6d/Emoticon_Hammer.png


 * Emoticons that should be replaced
 * http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/93/Emoticon_jigglypuff.png with a pikachu emote
 * http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904041807/messaging/images/4/40/Emoticon_no.png should be removed and replaced with downvote
 * http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904041913/messaging/images/1/1c/Emoticon_yes.png should be removed and replaced with upvote
 * http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904041806/messaging/images/c/c2/Emoticon_pacmen.png should be removed and replaced with an actual sprite from the game

Basically, this is just my opinions, all other opinions can be voiced. Just remember to keep things civil. – Jazzi  ( talk ) 18:29, October 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904035828/messaging/images/e/e2/Emoticon_blush.png and http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904035828/messaging/images/a/a2/Emoticon_cool.png should stay. And I propose that the upvote/downvote should go, replaced by the thumbs.
 * Blush and cool are never used though. And the up/downvote just looks better than thumbs. – Jazzi  ( talk ) 18:41, October 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Jigglypuff 4 lyfe. 18:42, October 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * I see thumbs being used to indicate good or bad, but most of the time upvotes and downvotes are used to point up and down by users who aren't familiar with Reddit. PhillycjMessage Wall 18:51, October 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * We should get a troll emote and a facepalm emote. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904035828/messaging/images/e/e2/Emoticon_blush.png and http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904035828/messaging/images/a/a2/Emoticon_cool.png should stay.

 * Troll definitely shouldn't be implemented because of potential abuse by, well, trolls. PhillycjMessage Wall 18:51, October 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * I see emoticons spammed in chat nearly every day. Unless there can be usage of them that doesn't lead to mass spam, I think that they should be removed. : 3 – Wattz  2000  18:46, October 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * We tried a facepalm. Troll would cause a ruckus. And I've honestly never seen blush or cool used. – Jazzi  ( talk ) 18:47, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

I've never really been one to use emoticons. The only ones that I ask be kept are as follows:


 * http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/central/images/d/d9/Wave_emoticon.gif
 * http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/99/Wave_emoticon2.gif

As long as those two stay, I am happy.  ~ Toci ~ Go ahead, make my day.  18:51, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

Well I literally just had a debate with Philly. Troll is a no,no. But I still think we should give facepalm another shot.

And Blush and cool are just one of them emotes you just have to have. If you get what I mean.

 * http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904035828/messaging/images/e/e2/Emoticon_blush.png should stay.And the upvote/downvote should stay too.The code for the thumbs up emote should be (good) instead of (yes) Xoxoxoxo (talk) 20:03, October 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Blush and cool are never used. Therefore, they should not be kept. – Jazzi  ( talk ) 20:05, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

If this was said already, I apologize, but http://images.wikia.com/central/images/8/87/Emoticon-pie.gif should definitely be keeped, in my honest opinion. -- Plasma ( Talk ) 20:10, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

The code for the thumbs up emote should be (good) instead of (yes) Xoxoxoxo (talk) 20:11, October 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * In my opinion, the basic ones (happy/sad face, heart, wink, etc.) should definitely stay. The troll is a no, although I am willing to give the facepalm one another go.  Love and Lust  22:41, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

If you ask me, then no troll. I see Mario used a lot. Jigglypuff is dumb. An epic face would be nice, and thumbs-up/down should stay. Also, heart and ghost should have an update. Fling that Butter!22:52, October 8, 2012 (UTC)~

'''I should make it clear that we are not planning to introduce any new emotes at this stage. In the future, we will ask for any suggestions - at which stage, feel free to share them.'''
