I can't believe we're on page 4 of this thread and people are still just wading in saying "urrrrgh bring it baaack" did none of you read what someone wrote near the start of the thread that someone who was suicidal and posting for help got laughed at? As one of many examples of the problem? What is wrong with some of you? Do you just not care that a human being was feeling like that and got kicked anyway? People post on MN for all sorts of reasons and it's a source of support for many. The shitheads are the people who shouldn't be on the Internet, not the people who post in good faith looking for support.

MN is a community with its own rules, people kept breaking them, MN have taken away this means of breaking talk guidelines, deal with it.

Anyone who laughs at someone suicidal or in distress has no place in polite society. They shouldn't even have a place here on Mnet!

I'd rather @MNHQ got rid of the poster rather than the emoji.

I miss it too, but understand the issue.
Maybe adding a thumbs down emoji, would help remove using the laughing emoji sarcastically.

That's a good point. It might have been better to introduce a negative react option, so those who disagreed/disliked a post could show it.

Then again, I suppose those who get upset by unwanted grins would be just as upset by thumbs down.
