Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Why when I type an emoji in my comments, does this platform change it to a different one?
Anybody have any answers as to why that would be?
Can you tell us which emoji you typed and what it got changed to?
Well, I’ll try to explain the best I can because since I can’t post it, you wouldn’t know which one I was talking about.
The face Emoji that looks like it’s being hypnotized … with circle eyes (the ones that look like the pedo circles) and a squiggly mouth. Here’s an example of the eyes. 🍥
Is turned into this
😵💫
What’s weird Is that it turns it into two separate symbols?
When I try and use a female “ shoulder shrug” - that is usually blonde hair and purple sweater - it is changed into two symbols below
🤷♀
Also, I have an iPhone.
