I am sick of people posting a line of emotes when 1 will make the same point.
So I'm starting a strict program of post editing to bring down the average smiley count.
Don't worry Lauri you're safe :p (see one emote lets Lauri know I'm joking,I don't need 6+ of them)

Rad can't stand it anymore... Now we are all going to die! :xd:

I agree to an extent, it's unnecessary to use excessive smileys all the time. But there is also no need to go editing people posts. That's censorship.

I did that a few times when I was still a moderator. It feels good.

To be honest it's usually only the guest and noobs that do it ;) Especially when making request or asking for help. Just go take a look at the TEACE 1.3 changelist.

Censorship is usually of an idea or content.
Emotes are neither. ;)

You can't censor emotions?

Fair enough :p But how many is too many? I use a lot, but that's just what I do. I had something else to say too, but I forget what it was, so you might get a more meaningful post later :lol:

Tiny little icons with different facial expressions =/= actual emotions. Don't pull this out of context. Using 10 emoticons in one post is rediculous.

Good 'ol banner ads, they're asking me in this thread if I want hundreds of emoticons free :p.

I really don't do requests and my Arnor Soldier is not fit for BFME. Don't ask me for either.

Clearly they are part of the content of the post.


Not that I disagree necessarily, but just for clarity's sake.

Think more openly guys, they're good for showing the tone of what you're reading, since it's very hard to convey tone. I take no smileys as a statement of utmost (That's a word, right? :p ) seriousness
