Makes you look immature if you overuse them, you can also get banned from overusing it as well.

No, they're used normally.
And as long as it's in moderation, and therefore not spamming, it's fine.

People use   and   to show appreciation (icecream is used much less often),   is used to show that you're joking,   can be used to show that you're sad (usually in a jokey way), and   is anyone's guess.
