I noticed a couple of days back there was certain response I've received from my last post, that were nothing more than emoticons. As far as I remember it I got it twice. Not sure how would I feel about it because emoticons can also express your feelings to the post. But I thought about it maybe I appreciate the one liner response more, I mean the emoticon thing was like a short cut now. In my opinion if they don't have really anything to say, then don't respond to it.

I only add just an emoticon after a long series of answers and comments. but if I have nothing to say, I either pass or I place a "like" if I like it.

Hello @marguicha I do the same specially if I couldn't have much expression on my comments or even post. But I never forget to hit like on the post.

For me, I use it to show how i feel about my response or the comments of the other member. I always use this

, to show that I agree with him and i also use this

and this

to show that i am happy and laughing....

Hello @magallon I agree that it shows some extra emotional support for the comment or post you make.

What's wrong with it. I would say it's a response as they are expressing his or her feeling with that emoticon. I have done it several times when I have nothing to write on the post.

I don't mind getting emoticons after a long or series of replies.

Hello @jobelbojel nothing wrong with emoticons unless there's some words that's added in the comment.

As the one and only response, I don't really see it as appropriate. But if you've already started interacting by exchanging a few comments with each other, then I wouldn't mind.

Hello @cahaya1983 Maybe I was just over reacting but I wonder why it had to be just an emoticon because I wouldn't know how to respond back to it.

It is was responding to a comment after they made a comment and you replied back, it is fine. But if it was just a response to your post, that isn't good. I don't even think that is allowed, or if it is, it shouldn't be. If someone has nothing to say, they can just like the post and move on.

Hello @DesirousDreamer Yes that's exactly the response to my post. I hope I'm not over reacting because people might imitate that if they see them making only their response. as for me I just move on when ever I don't get the post.

@Letranknight2015 You are not overreacting, it is understandable. If someone doesn't respond appropriately, why respond at all?

Why? Is it really bad to use emoticons? People judge a person even if they express their feelings through writings and now even having emoticons?

Hello @m_audrey6788 I was afraid that I might give a wrong response and offended that person. The other reason is that person must be lazy

sometimes feelings through emos are general but with out explanation it's hard to respond back.

Hello @Hatley I know you never run out words to say, can't believe you can still write this fast. But I hope you'd slow down a bit because your words get scattered

I think i got one response that was like that. I just ignored it

It would be acceptable if it was facebook, but even facebook now, you can just react instead of putting it in a comment

Hello @lady1993 Well, that's right it's more acceptable in facebook but in here I hope people won't encourage too much response like that.

Like marguicha, I only put an emoticon after a number of answers and comments. I don't think it is really right to put one as your one and only response.

Hello @JudyEv I agree that is how it should be instead of just being the emoticons only.
