Personally I don't like using emoji on topic title since its make forum mess and hurt my eyes.
Me too. With these emojis and heavy solid color it made forum looks like social site like twitter.
Im curious why even forum supported emojis and lots of iconic figures. There is no code that can be written to show them in preview hence still showing up if user tend to copy paste it.
Some think that they will make their topics more noticeable if they use bunch of icons, but in reality it looks tacky and more often than not will have counter effect.
There are lots of these on the bounty section and Ive noticed their favorite to use is the rocket icon and the big red circle. Honestly its really annoying. Im not sure why user think they could attract readers and users with these.
