Poll: Sympathy Emoji- Should it be Removed?

I use it for two reasons:

1. To express actual sympathy

2. In-place of a "sorry for that" or similar type "we're with you" response.

Not sure how it could be used as a "passive-aggressive tool" in a negative way, but maybe I'm just not thinking broadly enough?

For instance someone makes a post and receives a sympathy emoji to indicate that I feel pity and sorrow that you still believe that Zach Wilson can someday deserve to be a starting QB in the NFL.

I lost a board seat to a guy with this kind of attitude.

* Again I am not saying that I lost a board seat to Sperm Edwards. I am just saying that the profile of their attitudes aligns.

How many seats do you need?  Jeez, just lay off the donuts.

It was an important election. Don't show your sour grapes now because I just kept typing so no one else could get a word in. I go with what works for me. Winners win. Losers whine. Dooshey.

And that's a problem?

Not how I'd use it, but ok.

I never said it was a problem, but it can be confusing.  I thought that is what @Dunnie meant, but apparently it was just tapatalk's version of like.

Sorry, conflating your reply with OP's complaint.  My bad.

Anything that can be used to express more than one thing has that possibility.

What IS tapatalk?  I've used my phone to reply on the forum for years via the default browser or chrome and never once had to use something else/some other ap to do it, I have to admit my complete ignorance on this tapatalk thing.

Yeah .. I received my share of those ... But those were well deserved ... I assure you .. if there were a way of converting all of the Tapatalk 'Like' auto-sympathies to like I would do it yesterday. I have never under my power ... Issued a single sympathy emoji towards any post. [mention=5331]maxman[/mention] how do i get add free browsing ... It's time.

Replace it with a pretzel emoji. 

[Claymation]

The emojis this forum uses is a reflection of the type of posters on this site.

You have 2 positive emojis for the positive posters, they are few here: "Post of the Week & Upvote"

but not as plentiful as the 4 Negative Nancy emojis: "WTF, Thumbs Down, Ugh & More Ugh" 

And one that flat just flat out trolls the poster "Sympathy"

Then there is the "That was ******* Funny" emoji, it says you need a sense of humor being a Jets fan.

Yes. Only necessary buttons are upvote, downvote, laugh, and POTW.

But which of those am I supposed to use when joewilly talks about his divorce???

This is a great forum but the sympathy emoji gets lost in the translation time and time again. Its very ambiguous when used by posters. It'd be fantastic to put in the slap to the face emoji.  This is New York, a city unlike any in the world. It's direct, no-nosense and leaves no  misinterpretation.

I live in NC so where's my "bless your heart" option?

For those who don't know... "Bless your heart" in NC  means GFY and go the Fukk home you Yankee mother fukker.

They should replace it with a "Rex Ryan was the best nyjets coach in the past quarter century" emoji.

You got pictures from @Maxman's moving day?  I thought they were using Pods?

He was multi-tasking.  Protesting against the current management while also moving.

It's an app that allows you to surf forums without ads and also has tools that make posting and reading posts a bit smoother.

Can we get a Taylor Swift emoji?

This is the type of hard hitting Jets that I've come to love about J-NAT

I mostly use the laughing emoji. I usually use it when someone says something really stupid. I feel like that’s the best response. 
Like when someone says something positive about Zach Wilson. it isn’t actually funny but I think you’re so stupid that I can only laugh at your response. it’s definitely the best emoji
