People putting emojis

A person sent me 24 emojis today in order to get a rank. This is very disturbing. Will there be a solution to this*

Um… Based on the date of your account and how often you’ve been posting on these forums, I think you’ve been on this platform long enough to know that those are just reaction messages and that nobody is directly spamming you. Also, you should not post other users names in the images you send (I think there’s a rule against that).

Hi! Users sometimes send these emojis to show their agreement or appreciation for a comment/post you've made. It is similar to Facebook's "like" feature. Since it is a significant part of the user experience here on the forum, the feature will likely not go away.

Though you can't stop users from reacting to your post, you can edit your notification preferences so that you are not notified every time someone likes your comment.

To do this,

• Go to your notifications
• Click on "notification settings" found in the right-hand corner. 
• Scroll down to "Moderation and Content"
• Under the "reactions" section, uncheck relevant boxes that accommodate your preferences.
