There is more than one person hitting the funny emoji.  
Some have had the sense to go back and change their errors.


And no, I'm not going to just assume it's not happening, or it's somehow excusable.  It's not.

Imagine the family members that may see these pages?  Between all the shameful stuff in the comments, it is doubly shameful to see people have rated those comments funny.

If the process of adding these emojis results in intentional abhorrent behavior, or unintentional behavior that presents itself the same way, either way, the persons need to be shamed,  and the Civil people need to rethink having these useless emojis.  A star means the same as any other face.  

The emojis are essentially meaningless, except to provide a way for people to smirk and mock others.

They carry no weight, if you think the rating is affected by which face you put up, it's not.

Replace them with a plus or minus, a thumbs up or down.
