Hm, yes, I do regularly miss some common smileys that would perhaps help convey a sense of irony/tongue-in-cheekness.

Then again I'm all for people learning or maintaining the ability to just write what they mean to say (not to mention they being so overused and indeed overrated, what say), so in fact while I'm not against it, I vote no.

Emojis


What's wrong with just calling them emoticons, btw?

I think you mean make the forums look better.

Smilies don't really bring alot of activity, so I wouldn't really say they would make a forum better.

Emojis would make the forum look sloppy and can also be abused.

I never was a fan of them.
Some, specially younger, users tend to skip words and only use smileys/emojis for a conversation.

Another thing that makes me shiver... if you allow smileys/emojis the next logical step are memes...

I think they would imply more emotion behind a post.

Abused? Only it is just a post consisting of smileys then not sure what you mean. I think they are funny and should be a fun thing to use.

Not sure on that. I only every put them after the sentence.

I do like memes but i do think they could end up going a bit far. So probably best not allow them.

Then why not just do this: Or this: :P Or this: o_O Or this: -_- Or this: D: Or how about even this: >_>.

Because I don't want a yellow face to be staring at me while I post.

These are the ones from an app i think. Not they Smileys The Emoticons ones. The small ones that match the text size. Using the codes here v

Then why not just do this: Or this: :P Or this: o_O Or this: -_- Or this: D: Or how about even this: >_>.


We do but that is just the codes for them so no smiley is created from these codes yet.
