You should be able to disable smilies/emoticons by going to "My Profile," clicking "Preferences" and then unclicking "Allow Smilies."

Looks like unlclicking "Allow Smilies" in profile preferences also doesn't disable them when I post, as the confused face still went through when I had "Allow Smilies" unclicked.

The whole "reaction" concept is a bad one, where people see a post and just reply with emojis, that's how people start to lose communication skills after awhile. Example of Reactions
Using the topic as pseudo-evidence though, I don't think the audience at permies would ever start posting with mass-emoji replies even if more were available, so not much of a concern there as I see it.

Have you noticed how few of these chaffy posts we have on permies? The staff work hard to discourage this kind of posting - instead, we encourage useful content.

I have a lot of trouble with emoji. It feels like reading pictures and reading words take very different parts of my brain - parts that cannot work together. When I read a thread, I read the words first, then I come back the next day and read the pictures.
Reading text, I skip past emoji. I do my best to tune it out because if I start looking at them, then I loose the meaning of the sentence trying to figure out what facial expression the emoji has. When an emoji is used to set the 'tone' of a post, it is lost on me.
