If possible, limit Emoji response to three max

[cold sun]

There are many cases of absurd Emoji usage. I have seen this from trolls, and people who just think 'it's cool' or something.
Here is a non-offensive example

If Emoji responses to a message are limited to three, i think it would make a more pleasant experience.

this isn't technically possible within discord, you'd need to make a bot for this

[whole pier]

This isnt possible, not even with a bot

[whole pier]

a bot cant stop you from reaction on someone elses message

[cold sun]

Yeah, i thought it may be a technical issue. ok, thanks guys

A bot could delete emoji reacts after a certain number, but it's probably not a worthwhile thing to invest time into fixing

[gusty patio]

but it can remove them

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/message#delete-all-reactions-for-emoji

although it may not be practical for a single bot to fight potential malicious/unknowing spam, it could get ratelimited easily especially if it's fighting multiple users simultaneously with race conditions

(but iirc ratelimits for reactions are significantly higher than other stuff)

[whole pier]

Very massive api spam, you would likely get the bot ratelimited or maybe even banned

[whole pier]

Thats the problem

[gusty patio]

but it's not impossible as you say

[foggy gate]

I would never have it programmed to do it instantly, it would just run a pass infrequently over the last couple of posts in select announcement channels

[gusty patio]

also technically i don't think this would be considered api spam. typically api spam is regarded as a bot accessing the api excessively on its own, when it should be responding to user input; in this case, it would be responding to user input

idk why this is bothering anyone, its pure discord experience, i see this in all server i am in

[steel wave]

Any particular person who actually abuses emotes would be falling afoul of other rules, wouldn't they?

[cold sun]

indeed. ^

I vote for disabling emojis altogether in announcement channels like #1285887711865077832, #📢┃announcements, #912723806383124511 and #497866432277643275. They provide nothing apart from being wholly obnoxious on messages.

Alternatively Dyno has support for posting emojis on messages in specific channels (3 max, more when paid) so perhaps it should set the emojis that can be used in case there should still be some sort of reaction to posts.

and that is supposed to make it right, or ok, or acceptable. 'i saw it over there, so like, whatever..' '(insert generic platitude here)'

[gusty patio]

personally im against removing reactions for help channels, and slightly against it on announcement channels
i think for help channels, reactions have legitimate use, and for announcement channels, reactions can be ok, though i do see the potential for spam that would need to be moderated

i think limiting reactions to 3 would be potentially detrimental; a bad actor could spam 3 reactions and lock out anyone else wanting to react in opposition

[cold sun]

or they could spam 14 (Unsure of exact hard coded number) of them and lock others out as it is now..

to clarify though, i meant 3 per person, not in total

[wintry vale]

I mean its fine for me, doesnt bother me at all.

(20, fyi)
