Your Top 10 Useless Smilies

All of the standard smilies are actually fine.

:tank: :die: :ripper: :slay: :rocket: :rocket2: [plasma] :saiyan: :fish: [phaser]

All of the above seem to be used only by arrogant people wh0 c4n't tpy3
 
Mostly these - rather repetitive, and a few I really can't think of a use for...

[plasma] :rocket2: :rocket: :fish: :arrow: :ripper: :die: [phaser]

No, I do not. Please educate me.
Search for a man named Simon.
 
I don't like these ones:

:sheep:
:fish:
:o
And all those ones shooting weapons. They are useless.

I believe that the search function is disabled. And it would take ages just to find a few posts about him and this whole story about the smiley.

And I assume you're talking about Simon Darkshade... The one with the Frodo-ish avatar?


And while I'm at it, here are some more that don't like.
[punch]
:rocket:
:rocket2:
:ripper:
:splat:
:mutant:
[phaser]

Keep the ones in my sig, all I ask.
If you're going to be evil enough to do a ten smiley sig, you should at least put them in correct order:
:beer: :love2: :spank: :groucho: :p :vomit: :sleep: :sheep:
 
apparently, too many to list...

I can honestly say I've never used these before this post

:borg: :queen: :egypt: [civ3mac] :vampire: :shotgun: :soldier: [phaser] :ninja: :tank:

as well as

sheep
mutant
plasma
rocket
rocket2
fish
ar15
arrow
saiyan
die
sniper

I like the splat one for the sole purpose that that's all anyone does when they get fed up in the chat room


:wonders what the replacement smilies will be:
 
I think it would be easier to do a list of the smilies to keep, rather then the horrible ones.

Get rid of:
  • :groucho: - I don't think I've eeeeever seen this one used. Ever.
  • :o - What is it, the smile like a donut smilie?
  • :cringe: - Looks more like the smacked in the face with a tire iron smilie then cringing.
  • :ack: - Pointless.
  • :nya: - It's like mwaha, but not as cool.
  • :vampire: - Hmm, when's the last time this one was used? Again pointless.
  • :love2: - See above.
  • [punch] - Promotes violence and CFC as a family site shouldn't be doing that.
  • :rant: - We already have a :nospam; smilie, and even when we rant people still continue spamming. So what's the point, really?
  • Then take all the weapon smilies, except :suicide: & hammer, and get rid of them. Shotgun, soldier, tank(especially), phaser, baseball bat, rocket launcher, and all the other crap.
  • After that take all the remaining smileys in the "Other Smilies" section, except dance, and trash them as well.
 
Gengis- Groucho can be useful when talking about hot women.

I don't see any reason to keep any of the following:

:nuke: :sleep: [civ3mac] :ar15: :arrow: :saiyan: :fish: :slay: :ripper: :sniper:
 
I've used the first four of your list regularly, Gengis, I would really miss 'em if they would be gone. And I really like the 'rant' one. I guess I don't want any of them gone, except for maybe the 'punch' one, I don't like that one.

edit: plexus, the sleepy one I find very useful in reports but also when it's gotten late again.

edit2: on topic:
1. :vampire:
2. :sniper:
3. :ar15:
4. :slay:
5. :splat:
6. [punch]
7. :nya:
8. [phaser]
9. :die:
10. :arrow:
I guess the trend is clear.
 
Yes, get rid of the annoying animated ones:

[plasma]
:rocket2:
:die:
:ripper:
:rocket:
:jump: (Worst.. Jump-smiley... ever)
:slay:
:ar15:
:splat:
[phaser]

queen - never used

Yes it is. ;)

Anyway, my 10

:o :suicide: :nya: :santa: :mutant: :saiyan: :arrow: :vampire:

(what happened to the sheep smiley? I like that one, but it's broken) - it'll only let my pick 8. (wavey and rant are the other 2).
