Emoji for a post that I PARTIALLY agree with.

[LordEntrails]

Would it be possible to leave the thumbs-up as an 'I agree' like and have another emoji to acknowledge the thought process regardless of stance?

I have no idea what that would be. Suggestions?

A head wearing a college-grad mortarboard?

A light bulb?

Hiya!

Often enough, someone writes an excellent post. It brings up a number of good points, but a couple of points I disagree with.

I want to say that I "like" the post. But I don't want to convey that I like all of it. There might be a part I strongly disagree with.

I want an emoji, to recognize that there are parts that I like a lot.

What would such an emoji look like? Maybe half a hand with a thumbs up and half a hand with a thumbs down? Maybe half a smiling comedy mask and half a frowning tragedy mask? Maybe someone has a better idea for such an emoji?

Is it doable for the code to add a new emoji icon to the forum emoji options?

I think the "Thinking..." emoji (here: ) would work best. It's at the "You raise some interesting points...but...." part of a conversation.

As for "just write a response"...the problem is that, with the forum rules as they are, sometimes writing a response would NOT be worth the infraction point or potential infraction point. So a non-confrontational, but non-specific "I agree with some...I disagree with some..." form of 'like' might be best for everyone.

Or, you could write, "I agree with some of this, I disagree with some of it."

Yeah, if the "Thinking" emoji was added to the Like choices, that would be great.

"Your post got me thinking"

It is a tag that the post adds interesting comments to the discussion.

Agreed in principle.

However, at first glance that emoji looks to me like it should be a "shocked" or "oh no!" emoji...

...Without getting into details...

"I tried that once. I got an infraction point".

Not kidding.

(it was in regards to PaizoCon)

Hence...a nice, vague, impartial, might have worked.

Context matters.

Hiya!

Context matters.

Totally agree! One hundred percent. Which is why I was 'confused' as to getting the infraction point.

Short: People were posting why they weren't going. I posted I disagreed with some things in the "Rules of the Con"...without saying anything specific. The Rules of the Con are/were long. There was absolutely NOTHING in my post indicating what I disagreed with...so there was no 'context' other than 'some things in the rules'. But the Mod (can't remember who) made an assumption of the worst possible kind, extrapolated that I was therefore a 'bad person', and decided I was effectively saying something I wasn't...because that Mod couldn't find any 'context'; they just didn't like what I had said about something in some other post some other month or year.

That's all I'm saying. I would have been easier/better for me to be able to just post a ...no context there to mis-read or make-up. Just a simple "Read the post, ...interesting.... I don't Like or Dislike it... just find it.... interesting".
