Update to Universal Rule #6: Only one smilie per post

[_Dr. Shades]

Hello folks,

I've been seeing way, way too many smilies lately. The new rule is to avoid using smilies whenever possible, but if you absolutely must use them, then only one per post is allowed.

Have a great day,
Shades

Why does the board edit my stylistic preference for referring to deity?

[_Dr. Shades]

The Nehor: I'm glad you approve.

Doctor Steuss: Are you talking about a lower-case "g" to an upper-case "G?"

[_EAllusion]

I think he's talking about G-d.

Edit: Yep, G"-"d is changed into God. Why? Misguided grammar nazism? Confused prejudice against Jews? Illuminati conspiracy? Search me.

Doctor Steuss: Are you talking about a lower-case "g" to an upper-case "G?"

See EAllusion's post. When one types G"-"d, the "-" is replaced by an "o." I know that you hate my people**, but isn’t this taking things a bit far?

When Steuss went to Shades' land; let my hyphen go...

My original response had one of every smilie and asked whether you meant one of each but the board wouldn't let me post it.

And people think MAD mods are grouchy.

When I first read this, I thought Shades said "only one simile per post." I thought Shades was getting quite draconian as a literary critic.

I thought the rule was one smilie per paragraph.

Dang!
