Author Topic: Forum emotes  (Read 3852 times)

After using this forum for awhile, I've noticed people flaming others for overusing these emotes. It seems people don't like the emotes. If that's true, why did Badspot put these emotes on here? Why did he not just put a few smiley faces?

That would be why, also, the emotes were meant to be used, but not like the way it is currently being used, idiots use them for spam and other kinds of stupidity

You mean like

 :cookieMonster: ate  :cookie: because  :panda: ate  :iceCream: lol  :nes:

This is a reason why smileys are bad - the sudden resort to spamming them

Yes, exactly, that's improper use of the emotes and it annoys me to great levels >:(

It seems that the cookie monster emote is often used to add snark/sarcasm to the end of posts

Idiot :cookieMonster:  See?


I will sum up the Emotes:


 :cookie: = Gratification or Thankful.

 :cookieMonster: = Happiness or Sarcasm.

 :panda: = Sadness or Upset.

 :iceCream: = You got it or "Sweet!"

 :nes: = I don't know yet.

most of them were used as pandaing word censors


Mostly all I can say is what has already been said, but:

There are just 5 emotes. That's a few if I've ever heard of it, normal places have 7+. People spam them continuously instead of simply using them as single-use emphasis to a statement.

I've been here since the before the forum crashes and such, before these emotes, and I know he never intended dumbasses to spam them like people do anyway.

I use them as what they are cause im to lazy to type nes cookie or icecream

Orly  :panda: :panda: :panda: Hole?

I can't remember what they were all for.

:iceCream: = You're a bowl of stuff.

 :nes: = Have a printer.
