Ban the :rolleyes: smilie!

[Ohwell]

I say ban it, it really induces plenty of flame fights. In political threads often when someone says something, another replies with . Some people take this seriously and reply back with the . Often, I see many flames using this smilie.

It really is a source and a cause of flames, and I say it should be tooken out.

Just look at it! It's so offending!

It's true it CAN be more offending than the poster intends if taken that way. Buncha softy maggots.

Guys, stop spamming the thread.

 

[Chieftess]

Of course, there's a dozen other threads that don't use it for that purpose.

 

[Perfection]

Well Ohwell why don't you give us some links to help us understand your position

 

[Becka]

We should also remove :rant: and because they can be used to offend people.

What about the legitimate uses of smiley?


AAAHHHHHHHH! This reminds me of a gun control thread or something!

 

[gonzo_for_civ]

Yikes, this thread is more spammy than the spam smiley itself!!!

Save yourselves and edit your posts to say something constructive before TF finds you!

Meanwhile, I love the smiley, it's fun to use w/posters who insult you when they misunderstand something you did. One of the greatest smileys of all hands down.

 

[Perfection]

I don't think getting rid of a smillie will stop flammers, its pretty easy to insult someone without using it

 

[Hitro]

I agree with Perfection.
And I like alot.

 

[Perfection]

Thanks hitro. I love that smillie. in fact its my second favorite Hammer takes the cake



.......Now if we could only agree on .9999999999..... vs. 1.
But I don't wanna threadjack

Sorry, I thought the whole thread was spam. I had no idea people actually had it out for the smilies. I like them all, I'm happy like that.

People will take it the wrong way no matter what, regardless of whether it's the smiley or just a word in that post they find offending. It's their problem.
