I know some folks are a fan of trading books and have done it successfully many times...... but man, the current BuscemasAvengers/TopCity situation (see Probation forum) *exactly* embodies my worst fears about trading. Once something goes wrong, it's very hard to undo a situation where one party is happy and the other isn't. Even establishing what a mutually acceptable solution looks like (as opposed to a straight refund or return solution) can be a real challenge.

 

There's a *second* TopCity issue regarding trades? What page does that start on? I thought it was about a returned check.

What happened to the laughing reaction emoji?

Is laughter now forbidden?

At least we still have Dancing Banana Guy...

Was wondering the same thing.

No laughing emoji just a sad one. Really?

I wrote this in the Covid thread. Most of the abuse was taking place there.

They were disabled. There have been a lot of complaints about them being used while people were on time outs, or not posting here. The mods asked to have the software fixed, so you couldn't use them while on a time out because of the complaints. I guess they couldn't fix the software, so they disabled those emojis.

It's a shame that had to be done, but trolling by emoji isn't exactly the best idea either.

Thank you. Obvious question is why leave the remaining emojis?

[skypinkblu]

So you can cut and paste a laughing thingy, but it requires you to make a post. Kind of how it used to be.

That was the decision of the admin who made the choice, but it seems that the emojis that were being abused the most were the ones that were disabled.

Of course if people hadn't abused them after many warnings, we wouldn't have lost them. I liked the laughs.

Makes sense. One time I bought a light that didn’t have a switch. I asked my brother in law the electrician to install one for me. He said why don’t you just unscrew the bulb? Ah hah, hadn’t thought of that.
