Yep, I already put them back to the original ones.
I was testing some settings with the emojis the other day and didn't realize it broke them for some people.
We will leave them on the original settings for now.
Edit: I am also at the point where I am starting to work on the custom emoji's/reactions we talked about. It won't happen immediately because I have limited time to work on the site each week, but I will get it done. This is just to let you know I haven't forgotten.
Great to hear it, hope it's not too much of a trouble. Maybe do one a day - it would definitely keep the suspense going.
If You have any questions, want to change images, or have Your own requests, You know where to ask.
^ Maybe this has been discussed but do we have a Cartman style "jew?" emoji in the works? Or maybe just a simple EST (Every Single Time) emoji would suffice?
It was already talked over in the emoji request thread (not sure if remnants have the access) - but the use of the "alien" emoji is both subtle and part of the RVF legacy.
Where does the alien originate from, though?
'They Live'
Yeah I know.... I'm sorry.
I've had the Stitches tab open for a couple of weeks now. I really need to make some progress on this. Feel free to help if you have time.

Well, I'm something of a neanderthal so I don't know how much of assistance I could give You.
I can help You narrow down the list.
That's okay, but why capitalize You?
I was taught to capitalize "you", when writing directly to someone as a way of showing respect to my interlocutor.
I have generated and uploaded a new sprite sheet and am in the process of configuring the various reactions. They should be live later today or tomorrow.
All done. Have fun.
All done. Have fun.
Thank you for adding these.
Can we have a cheat sheet or something?? I don't understand what some of them are.
fire extinguisher?
tractor?
leonard?
bot? (is this to say some bot is posting?)
How do these affect the reaction score? Is there also a cheat sheet for this?
I'm not sure either, so here are my best guesses:
Blowing out (((their))) candles
"An Antisemitic Fire Extinguisher Attack on a Menorah Has Become a Global Far-Right Meme" (MSM Source).
Another alien reference:
Anything Australian
I am happy to see this one still here.
Could be used for a spambot or someone spamming products or links. (Although the best way to deal with spam or blatant trolling is to hit the "report" button.)
The bot could be used for an unthinking, brain dead response, although we now have an NPC emoji which seems like a more precise way of communicating this.
Good question. I'll expand on the use of this cheat sheet below.How do these affect the reaction score? Is there also a cheat sheet for this?
Nice work and thanks for your efforts!All done. Have fun.
@δούλος του Χριστού
Following on from @Doraemon here, can you please advise on how these emojis impact reaction scores?
May I suggest to include this with the forum guidelines and advise everyone on the update, so new and old members know how to better express their intended message.
In my reply to Doraemon -- which I'm quoting below because some newer members cannot access the relevant subforum -- I noted that many members seem to be giving reactions based on the content while unknowingly enacting a negative (or positive) score on the poster:
Continued from the OT thread
@soli.deo.gloria
Thanks for testing this.
Based on this post,
http://christisking.cc/threads/suggestions-for-emoji-reactions.223/page-6#post-13225 - I wasnt aware that the soy boy and irrational reaction caused a negative score.
Apologies to the posters who were deemed full of soy through my choice of emoji. Rest assured, this was not my intention.
Internet points may seem useless at first glance; but, they are a proxy of real social communication and thus do impact attitudes and behaviour.
This can be seen most clearly when posters talk about getting the thumbs down reaction. E.g. "Keep thumbing me down you fully vaxxed fed-posting soy boys!" I wonder if, to what extent the original 'reactors' had the impact that they intended
On that note, I would suggest that if members here disagree with a post but don't think the poster deserves a digital "punishment", perhaps choose an alternative to the thumbs down emoji. This may reduce conflict between posters.
To help with this, I would suggest that we keep the negative points as short as possible to avoid confusion between reacting to the content and reacting to the poster. This may be useful since most posters are probably not aware of these processes.
Current Negative Points
Ban = -5
Troll = -2
Glowie = -2
Dislike = -1
Irrational = -1
Soy boy = -1
Suggested Points
Keep as is
Ban = -5
Troll = -2
Dislike = -1
^ Reactions which are perhaps more likely to be seen as being directed to the poster.
Remove negative association
Irrational = 0
Soy boy = 0
Glowie = 0
^ Reactions which are perhaps more likely to be seen as being directed to the content.
I hope this has been useful. Happy reacting!

This was the original intent behind the request, but since it was almost a year ago and most poeple forgot about it, the "fire extinguisher" could be used as "cool down".
I'm shocked that a heirloom member would even ask such a question.
The original intent behind this request was an emoji to label anyone using AI generated texts. I thnk it could also be used for plagiarism.
