Named emotes? (888 views, 69 replies)

For example "cool" or "sunglasses" instead of "smile4" (smiley). Or maybe even emoji style tags like ":sunglasses:". Numbered emotes are very counter intuitive. Especially if you don't use them a lot. Also there are places where there's no "insert emote" button such as wall post replies.

@Smuff I'm confused about 33 too. When I first registered, I thought it was a hug until one day I realized those were pigtails, not arms.

@Smuff Might it be goofy crazy/wierd?

@..box.. Yeah, goofy is probably the best word for it actually. 31 is off too. Should be facepalm instead of sigh, but whatever. Both are better than smile31™.

@PureVodka🍺 Some work with multiple words. It is cheers, but it's also friends. Went with friends because that's the context/meaning it's used in a lot. But both work.

I love this idea. Whenever I want to add one where the option isn't there I always have to go to a comment box and find the number I want to use. This will make it a lot easier to remember them.

@Dr.Evil I would say (rofl) as parentheses are used to provide additional information.

@Dr.Evil () or round brackets are used to provide additional information, where as [] square brackets are typically used to enclose words added by someone other than the writer or speaker.

@Dr.Evil I'd go with the skype version. Again I would see it as additional information so round brackets are more typical.

@RandomOne Only Skype uses the weird () format. I'd say it's better to stick to known and familiar standards.

@Dr.Evil Emoji style smiley is what I'd imagine most people are familiar with these days. They get used all over the place, including apps like Discord and native integration in modern OS's. It would also make things easier should you ever decide to change emotes to actual emojis.

WhatsApp has a few that would be useful in my opinion, but i don't know how to transfer them so they look the same.

Is a screen shot as a suggestion acceptable?

@Lurkio These are awesome! I love the hair pulling out one especially. My favorite has to be the Thank You, though. I can't imagine a better Thank You than one on a stripper pole.

@delamitri If nothing else we need the 'tearing the hair out' and 'thank you' smiley faces on here; the rest would probably be fun, but those two in particular would be very useful indeed.

@ Oh he's happy, in an animated devilish sort of way, more like the 'mwahaha' smiley face I posted above rather than an actual angry face.

But all three devil faces listed here are good really.

@Lurkio I can see it better now. I was forced to be on my phone since I was out and about, and I can clearly see that it's very close to being the animated version of the WhatsApp one I like so well.
