Microsoft has silently removed a series of emoticons by Skype, because they could be considered offensive by some users, although it seems to be one of the most popular smiley faces in conversations.
Η company has not publicly announced the change, but in a small message he posted on the Skype forum, an administrator has confirmed the removal of some emoticons because they could be considered offensive.
These are "hidden" emoticons, ie emoticons that appeared only if you wrote them with their name, and these were (fubar), (finger), (wtf), (hollest). If the names do not tell you anything, imagine the symbolism of the upright finger and other such nice things. As you can see in the image on the left, the wtf and finger icons do not appear on the recipient.
“Indeed, those hidden emoticons were removed with her version 6.14 επειδή εξαιτίας του ότι έχουν τη δυνατότητα να προσβάλουν κάποιους χρήστες. Παρακάτω θα δείτε μερικά σχόλια από τους χρήστες που θέλουν πίσω, και είστε ελεύθεροι να δείξετε την υποστήριξή σας, αν είστε παθιασμένοι με αυτά” αναφέρει ο administrator στο φόρουμ του Skype, ενώ παράλληλα περιλαμβάνει και μια σύνδεση με άλλο κομμάτι του forum, όπου οι χρήστες ζητούν από τη Microsoft να φέρει πίσω τα emoticοns .
But, like the one TechCrunch reports, the new versions of Skype come with some other new emoticons, including some limited-edition smileys to celebrate the company's Captain America Marvel.
And because these emoticons are hidden, you should write them down and send them to a contact so you can see them. Try them from the list below
(talktothehand) (idea) (sheep) (cat) (bike) (dog) (captain) (bucky) (blackwidow) (nickfury) (shielddeflect)
