I had instated them on two separate occasions, but both times they were abused, so now they're gone forever.


How does one go about abusing a smiley? Is this an R-rated story?

On two separate occasions people posted between 50 and 100 within a single post.

Ergo, gone forever.

Are we all then punished for the crimes of others? How about setting a limit on the number of smileys in a post? Maybe three? Banish all those who transgress to outer darkness.

It must be obvious to you that most people here would like to use them.

He was responsible the second time, yes.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

It's also obvious to me that if left to your own devices, y'all would transform this place into looking like the MA&D board looks, what with all their insipid smilies and all.

Smiley abuse can be as incidious as pornography and Doritos.

I think I heard that the LDS church is producing a video on the evils of smileys. No doubt, the video on Doritos will soon be coming.

Nah, I think most of us would be responsible with smileys. After all, it's not the black plague. A few little icons can't be that objectionable to you.

Punish those that transgress. Let the rest of us smiley occasionally.

Ridiculous. All I did was create one post with every available smiley in it for testing purposes.

So you are saying you are for free speech but anti-people using yellow faces to express themselves?

This seems a bit dictatorial. Image

Free speech around here? Bull! Shades don't nothing about speaking free.

Bring back the smiles and I swear I'll abuse them.
