Ratings symbols - possible additions

Sounds like we can't have a Disagree rating. But we can do so by writing as to why we may have a different view I guess.

If I don't agree I don't always have to say anything. It's ok for people to have other perspectives. I don't think having a 'disagree' rating would be any worse than taking the time to say why I disagree. In fact, it could give the other person the choice to ask me if they see I have and want to know. Then it's up to them.

Stories about family and friends that expressed loving sentiments, for example. Posts that make you go ahhh...

My personal collection of smileys are GIF images.
Operating systems treat emoji like text symbols, not images.
The full list of emoji does not work here, but most of our smileys are a subset of that list.
All emoji have a text version, but not all text symbols have an emoji version.
I keep a list of my favorites at Studio 126 News: Symbols Used at Studio 126...

So, you meant the little face with a waggling finger could signify, Interesting? I see.

I love that one too! How would we use it, though?

Spock used to say 'Fascinating'. Should we have one of those as well?

Yes that's maybe his way of saying Interesting, I think? He said it in quite a dry tone of course. It's quite Aspie of him to use such a strong word to express his interest in something, too.

I have been thinking I often would like to say someone's post is Interesting.

To me, this is different from Informative, because it may be quite whacky or not fact based at all, but still, Interesting.

It's different from Creative because the post may not be about something new or original or contain artistic content or a new way to look at something.

It's different from Like, which signifies approval or appreciation, but the post might be interesting rather than likable, like say on the recent Sliders thread, people were giving experiences of their connection to electrical effects that were mysterious, and (to me) it was Interesting.

Anyway, I often wish I could rate someone's post as, Interesting. I picture the emoji in varied ways, as a thought bubble maybe? Or a light bulb? Not sure, I am not very visual, any suggestions on that?

Do you have any ratings you often wish were available? And what would the emoji be, if so?

Please provide a link to the Sliders topic?
 
One thing that would really help me is to put a little more space between the options. Many times I'll end up clicking something that is not funny as funny and so on. Perhaps reordering them so that funny is the last option? This is because I use a phone. I have no problems on my laptop.

Yes I agree, I am not very accurate and I dab at my tablet ineptly, and sometimes I repeatedly hit Informative before I can get the little heart symbol I am aiming at. Or the same with other emojis.
 
I need one that expressed that was the bomb, that is way above the winner emoji. Maybe meditative one, like l need to think more about this because you sent me there. I would like the pie mathematical symbol because it's just cool and represents that reoccurring unknown. My peace symbol would be a donuts.

So, the bomb would be when someone posts something that totally amazes you, gives you a whole new way of looking at something? Like, oh, wow AMAZING! ?

And the pi symbol which I initially thought of as like this:stew: would be the Greek letter? Cool. And that's to signify, this idea has given me something to think about?

Plus you would use the doughnut, :doughnut: to say hey, don't argue, calm down and have a doughnut? Do you picture a chocolate doughnut? Which surely is a fine doughnut?

For puns, Groans are a compliment. ;)

Yes I see what you mean. But people would probably use the groan symbol for other purposes than to comment on puns maybe? Plus we don't actually make a lot of puns here that I have seen, but I may have missed them...:kissingcat:
