Please Mumsnet to bring back the laugh cry emoticon in the 'respond' options

😪

Strikes me you could use the heart and thanks emojis sarcastically too if you were so minded. Maybe they'll be got rid of too.

For those people who are such delicate flowers maybe MN isn't the place for them

i think if people are such delicate flowers that they can’t cope with an emoji being removed then maybe MN isn’t the place for them 🤷🏻

i liked the smiley face, i am sorry that MNHQ felt it should be removed due to misuse…

It was covered extensively in Site Stuff.

Yes, please bring it back. Removing useful and fun functionality due to a tiny minority of trouble makers that could receive a warning/be banned is OTT.

OP I don't think MN pay any attention to AIBU polls so doubt this likely to go anywhere

It's hardly "useful". You can write the post and add the emoji if you really want to show that you appreciate someone's humour.

The direct emoji was trialled and there turned out to be negative aspects that HQ decided outweighed any fun element. It's not the end of the world.
