Hope this is the right forum for this. I know this is a mundane thing but thought I would try anyway 😀 

Was wondering if it was possible to have more reacts? On Avsim theres only two available for a comment:

From another flight sim forum:

Its handy to see the range of reacts to a comment which helps convey the vibe of it like on social media platforms (funny / confused / sad / upvote / excellent comment! / love)

Again, I know - not the end of the world if they arent present but I was just wondering. Thank you!

Speaking personally I know which forum you copied those icons from. I posted a question there recently - a sensible question - and one user used the laugh icon. That was irritating as he added no comment to backup that action and when I challenged him privately I just got a non-sensical reply.

The 'funny' one has a downside as well as an upside.

While I agree there will be a minority that misuse the choice of emojis, the majority of users are grown up enough to use them as intended. I could find far more instances on the other forum where posts have had a contextual range of icon response that are in keeping with the spirit of what they are there to provide.

So would get an upvote from me 😃

I've been on the AVSIM site(s) since day one and I've never seen an "emoji problem" nor anyone complain about the use or misuse of them. I, too, would like to see the expanded set used here. 

We've considered this before, and the management position is that the negatives cast by the few who do misuse the capability outweigh any benefit.  On other forums I've seen people with an axe to grind that just downvote everything posted by someone they dislike, for example.  Also, we'd prefer to harbor actual discussions rather than what amounts to polling via hieroglyphics.
