➿ I'm predicting that emoji in titles will eventually be forbidden

I feel like it has the potential to be abused. The title of this thread as example.

edit: changed to a better emoji to illustrate the “abuse”

We’re getting to the real issues with Classic in this thread.

I can see the emoji in mobile. It’s a little notebook

Edit: OP changed it, don’t go assuming I’m crazy now!

They only allow 1

To be clear, the abuse I’m talking about is making your post look like a “blue post” by putting a similar looking emoji at the front. They could fix this by changing the way blue posts display, change the row background in the listing or something else that can’t be imitated.

Really don’t think that’d be an issue. Why? The BLIZZ logo shows up when Blizzard has posted anywhere in the thread. Clicking the BLIZZ logo goes to that post. Opening the thread shows a clear BLIZZ link to go to the Blizzard post. And, on top of all that, the text of the post would be blue.

There’s nothing about an emoji in the title, even the BLIZZ logo that we non-Blizzard peeps can’t put, that says that first post will be the Blue, and finding the actual Blue is blindingly easy.

Nothing of value would be lost…

I genuinely laughed out loud :laughing:

I predict that in 3 months, in order to get your post to stand out, you will NOT put an emoji in the title :slight_smile:
