The question was about emoticons in general, not neccesarily your emoticons.

Have you considered the fact that the chatbox is real time? You don't get the opportunity to correct such blunders as:

Things I seein no particular order)
Directionown

and so forth.

I considered it, that's the reason why I'm against it. I might design a wave that has one of those shapes in it, and bam, it is destroyed, no more fun wave.

I've considered being a translator, but I dunno. It feels like a lot of work. If someone gets angry then I have to deal with it, you know? I'd rather just relax.

Awww. Diddums. What shall we do without your waves?

The last three would be avoided - I've not seen anyone who puts brackets after a colon, and a majority of people put spaces after colons. Plus there's the fact that the :o, :( and :D are more or less universal for those three emoticons (those three are used within the forum for the same emoticons - if they weren't, then alright, maybe you'd have had a point... but come on). You'd expect people to know that.

The only problem I see is your first example - 8), as I can see people using it. In which case, use a hyphen for a nose: 8-).

>) --> = killgrin
:D --> = big grin
:( --> = sad
:@ --> = angry
:| --> = weird
:p --> = amused

8-) --> = rolleyes

Those look great, still. When can we expect them to be implemented?

I'm going to ask for the poll to be closed tomorrow morning when I log in - it will have been open for a week, and the thread has been in New Posts long enough for those who want to vote to have voted.

If "Yes" stays ahead of "No", then hopefully ASAP. If "No" gets ahead of "Yes", then they won't get implemented.

If things stay the same (8 - 5 in support of "Yes"), then Asamin's idea of an option to turn them off will be put forward because there's such a small gap between "Yes" and "No".
