Changes to TSR Emojis - Vote to keep your favourite!

Indeed

I think I added a couple, I forget which

Hi everyone,

We feel it’s important to offer a more up to date emoji library that resonates with the age of the audience that we are trying to continue to appeal to. To do this we have decided to implement a pre-existing emoji library into The Student Room.

We are also conscious that we want to be respectful and acknowledge the history of The Student Room, lean into our individuality and make sure that our established community have a tangible input and their say.

Trying to juggle all of the above is difficult, but we think we’ve come up with a solution. We would like to provide an alternative library of emojis to sit alongside our new library. This alternative library would have a reduced offering of the current TSR emoji library. We have used three main criteria to work out which ones we should remove:


1.) Is this emoji appropriate/relevant anymore
2.) Is the quality of this emoji up to standard ( is it blurry, hard to understand ect )
3.) How often is it currently used on the site

It's worth noting that to keep historic content with old emojis intact we will simply be removing the emoji's from the library list for now rather than stopping the BBcode working entirely.

We want to offer 150 emojis in this historic library. Below are 144 that we have agreed to keep:



That means we have 6 more spaces... which is where we would like you to come in.

Please use this thread to nominate your favourite TSR emoji that isn't in the list above. We will take these nominations and if there are more than 6 set up a voting system till we have our final 6.

Please keep your nominations 1 per user for now and please be aware we reserve the right to veto any nomation that we feel is inappropriate.
