Play with me.
Let's agree to disagree.
BTW what would happen to all the new reactions already used?

I'm torn on this issue. I do like reactions assuming I practice self control and discipline. I very rarely react with a negative type reaction. I feel in most cases it might hurt the persons feelings too much and unnecessarily if I react negatively. There are however very rare cases where a negative reaction is appropriate. Since this is subjective it agrees with the whole purpose of reactions. I don't take offense if anyone applies a negative reaction to me when I keep that in mind.
On the other hand it gives me great pleasure to give someone a big thumbs up when I like or agree with that person and/or what they are saying/doing.
I believe in spreading positive energy much more frequently than negative energy.

If someone could create or find new ones for CFC, that would be perfect.
Like everything on FB and social media, most of the current ones look overhyped.
They are quiet boring too compared to what would be possible (like high five..we already have so many better ones here when adding smilies to messages).

I just noticed that when I, "liked," a post just a minute or two ago, and noticed no choice menu. Thank-you!
Thanks for not listening to those of us who wanted to keep them. A poll would have been nice.

I must respectfully disagree. I, myself, though I will give no details, had been at the tip of the iceberg of a possible reaction harassment campaign - of which I had suffered a far worse one, and much more dedicated, on another previous forum I had once been on. Perhaps a bit more leniency with allowing posts that solely consist of smileys could be a compromise?
So they haven't just been disabled for the future but also for the past…?
I agree with removing the future and argued against incorporating it in the first place, but this is still a removal of information that can help read a conversation properly.

Sorry, but it was being used inappropriately in some parts of the forums and why we decided to disable the feature.
That is the nature of the software, they are either on or off. Nothing I can do to change it.
So infracting the people using them to troll was out of the question?
Getting those "love" emojis on some of my posts, especially the Cool Pictures ones or posts where I tried to cheer someone up, really made my day. Thanks for taking those away. Really, thanks.

I also think a pool should be nice, I liked the reactions and think is easier to express what we are felling with them.

What even is the use of a reaction to troll? Does it mean referring to using the "haha" reaction on a post you think is ludicrous? How is that trolling, it is an honest expression of how a poster feels about something someone else has posted. People haha'ed my posts plenty, presumably in ridicule, but I don't see what harm is inflicted on me by that, and I don't see what is gained by preventing other posters from doing it.
There are two sides to "haha" emojis. There's a woman on FB who posts them on comments where people are discussing various types of abuse that happened in native residential schools, including the rape of children. This woman never fails to drop a "haha" on those posts. She thinks child rape is hilarious, or at least if it's indigenous kids. Unfortunately, being a selfish sociopath isn't against community guidelines.
So that's the downside. It can be used to express support for really awful things. In a properly-moderated setting, however, this could be curbed.

I used sometimes the angry emoji and I don't fell like being a troll. Sometimes a post make us angry and the angry emoji fit it better.
But I just used the angry emoji in the forum games, when someone votes on me.

What I think would be better is having more leeway for posts in response that are just emoticons (as far as I recall, any post that has no text, but only an uploaded image, link, quotes other posters, or, I guess, emoticons, without original text by the poster accompanying it is against the TOS). Now, while such isolated emoticon posts could equally be abused, the thing is, as their own post, and not a reaction, the report function is usable. That would be compromise that I'd suggest.
