Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Suggestion: User Submitted Emojis (startrek.website)

One thing that I think would be nice would be to have a true plethora of custom star trek emojis available for us to use here. (Perhaps this is already a thing and I just dont know about it?)

I think having the ability for users to post an image (and a name for the potential emoji) for consideration for emojification would be quite enjoyable (especially for the risa community). Of course, there would need to be an Emoji Science Officer who has responsibility for the emojis, both for creating emojis themselves and adding emojis suggested by users.

Logistically, this would depend on the admins either acting as ESO or vetting and appointing an ESO from the userbase. There would also need to be an emoji reference resource, maybe a pinned and locked megathread with every emoji in it?

This is, of course, a suggestion, and only applicable if the admins both desire this and have time to deal with being ESO or vet and appoint an ESO.

Regards,

On Mastodon, the tenforward.social instance where the @[email protected] & @[email protected] have accounts, has its own set of emojis. Some of these seem to have been contributed by users.

It would be great if our leadership here could check in with @[email protected] to see if she would generously share her protocol.
