Emoticons in the Chatbox

utilizing

Oh yeah? Yes, because they're completely futile for everything. Just leave the boards the same, and let everything die because nobody comes here anymore anyways.

:lol:

If you have to TELL the person you're talking to that you're utilizing sarcasm they're probably too retarded to be worth talking to anyway.

Uh okay. I still just think they'd be a nice addition, and don't see the harm in adding them.

Besides it ruining the flavor?

That and bored people doing stuff like

Hahaha. No, I just view the chatterbox as a similarity to AIM or something of the sort..

Yeah and I have emoticons turned off on AIM

So why don't we just make the same setting. An option to turn them off.

In which case, we've got a nifty little group for people banned from the Chatbox, don't we?

Problem solved!

I think the icons in the chatbox would be cool. I like how you made the chatbox icons square as opposed to circle.

Well, rather than just ban everyone who uses emoticons in the chatbox, wouldn't it be easier not to have them in the first place?

You're twisting my words, WW.

Note the fugly emoticon spam in your post, and then read my reply again.

As they say - just because Ben is a cat, doesn't mean all cats are called Ben.

The use of emoticons is not the bannable offence, but rather how they are used.

An emoticon used to add effect to a sentence, such as:

"lol, that made me laugh "

Is somewhat different to emoticons used to spam, such as your example, don't you think?

Asamin makes a good point. If people don't want to see them, then they should be given an option to disable them. The vote is too close to not merit the option for the minority who don't want the emoticons.

Offensive! 馬鹿！ I won't "spam" cheese in English anymore, now, I will do it the best way...Japanese! 僕輪大好き乾酪！ Also, my waves aren't stupid!

Now for my personal opinion on this. I don't think we should have these emoticons. Not to mention, in the end, WW has the final decision on what does and doesn't happen.

Technically, Chruser could fire me and hire Mantra.

What!? Mantra knows how to do this stuff or is that supposed to be taken as a joke. I am personally taking it as a joke.

I must admit. I think this is a pretty cool symbol.

I also think if we take the time to make a emote option we should also make one concerning avatars and sigs. There are some that I would like to block.

Which would be the same granularity as the proposed option.
