Smilies

Most members here over their time have made a request for one smiley or another. I have asked for a drooling one more than once.
But it's very rare they are done. Because maybe of the only five smilies rule I don't know. It could be other various reasons like they might see them as people might just use them to spam. By only putting up smilies in posts as a reply.
But L3ggy was right with the Suggestions and Comments been the right place to make it. There even a thread around somewhere on the subject. I think Tunsty had something to do with it.

Yes, that's what will be real good. I wanted a "hugs" smiley.

Oh yeah..that's right...just blame tunsty...I mean it's...er...um..
Actually you're right...
I did mention that the :thefinger smilie might be misinterpreted as a thumbs up and it might be a good idea to remove it...
Of course nobody gave a rats-ass about my suggestion, so I just let it ride...
If people end up having arguments as a result, then I say :thefinger..I mean :thumbsup:..or is it
There already is one.
I just provide my own smilies from freesmileys.org. :dunno:

Oh, I agree with that!
Can we just post them as images to suggest them? Or do we still have to do links even for smilies?

to hedonis: check your rep message from me. i misunderstood because i didn't read.
however, i do agree, there should be more smilies for us to use, it'd make things funnier and quite possibly more fun.

Now I do see two sides to this...
Yes it would be great to have some more smilies to use. It could well make things fun and also like Tunsty said with this smiley :thefinger it can be used or taken two ways. I mean I used this one just the other day, but not for a cool statement but a blind statement. Although I don't think it quite got the joke across because the smiley wasn't exactly the right meaning. So I've always been for adding more smilies.
Now the but the other way is, what you have to take into account. They could promote spamming. Where a member would have left comments they might just use smilies instead. Then there is the use of only 5 smilies a post, are we also after getting rid of that. Plus this isn't a picture posting board, it's a talking board in many aspects. The use of too many smilies could damage that. Then when do you say stop too. As I myself could ask for a few different ones as most other members could too. As the exact smiley never seems to be there when you want it.
Like I said there has been many a time I've wanted to put a drooling smiley on something. I even asked in a comments thread I made. But still I have to go the old route *drools* type of thing instead. Then I could also think of *woah* type smiley I wish there had been at times. Plus many others in my time here.
So then the question becomes who decides which ones are going to be created if you are going to limit a set number of new ones. As not everyone is going to be happy with the final pick :dunno:
(Like the way I even managed to end on one :1orglaugh)
