Disable emoji shortcuts in chat

I have disabled emoji shortcuts on my site using the settings, and this works in posts, but they still get converted in chat. This seems to be a bug because there is no separate setting for chat.

I can confirm this too.

Is there any reason why you don’t want the autocomplete?

Many of our members prefer to show the ascii version of a smilie rather than the emoji, and if they want an emoji they can use the emoji picker or an emoji keyboard.

That should solve the problem:

We now have a bit of a conflict on the forum because some people liked the emoji replacements, others hate it.

Can this not be a per-user setting? Seems like something that should be per-user.

I encourage you to create a feature request in Feature - Discourse Meta

Depending on the interest of the community we might decide to implement it in the future.

There is a feature request for that: Disabling emoji auto-complete as a user
It is not specifically about chat but general

Yes I posted in that topic a year ago but it went nowhere.
