What Smilies Do You Use the Most? [POLL]

Postby Icamera » Fri Jun 08, 2012 1:55 pm

First off, I swear that this is not a trap. This is definitely not an attempt to get excessive-animated-smiley users out in the open so my snipers can eliminate them. There's no reason to distrust me, so don't be afraid to admit it if they're truly what you prefer.

Anyway, my own frequently-used emoticons, in no particular order:

1. Happy (Usually :) , though I use :lol: pretty often)
2. Confused (Usually :blink: . Yes, it's animated, but only a little.)
3. Razz ( :p )
4. Sad ( :( )
5. Wink ( ;) )

Although I encounter numerous facepalm-worthy comments (it is the internet, after all), I rarely use the emoticon since a common consequence of this is sending arguments in a downward spiral. Ditto for the eyeroll one. It takes a lot to make me mad, too, so using the angry smilies typically isn't an issue for me, particularly because I use words anyway if I ever do.

By the way, is it just me, or does the poll look like complete spam?

EDIT: Mods, feel free to shut this down if it ends up looking too spammy.

@Everyone - I recommend that you all check off the "Disable smilies" box or just use words to describe your choices, just in case.

Yes, I understood that. Hence the: :eyebrow: , expressing my distaste with your use of homosexuality as an insult.

How bout this?
How bout we keep insulting and rude comments to yourself that are overall unnecessary, there's a time and a place(unfortunantly) but NSG is NOT the place. And now is NOT the time. Thank you.

I'd prefer a smiley with Max's face on it, giving a wink. That'd be priceless.
