To Smilie or Not to Smilie, that is the poll

I just figured out that I can LIMIT the total number of smilies per post. Actually, the limit is the total number of images and smilies combined per post.

I currently have the image limit set to 5.

I'm considering allowing smilies, since I can limit the number and we won't have the bouncing, annoying ones and we won't have rows upon stupid rows of them.

Tell me what you want.

Personally, I like the smilies, they don't annoy me at all.
So I say, keep them.

Then please vote! Thx.

I voted! I think smilies are cute but 5 per post is way too much. I would say 2 or 3 is good.

I voted 5! I think smilies are a great way to show emotion!

**RubyPiggie2** · #6 07-28-05, 02:25 pm

I think too many smilies is just plain annoying. 2-3 is okay, I think, for a post. 5 is just way too much.

**DaCourt** · #7 07-28-05, 03:01 pm

2-3 is ok. Especially if you are trying to convey sarcasm or a joke. It may cut down on some of the hurt feelings by people mininterprting what someone writes.

I was thinking that too - it may "soften" the tone of the posts

**mab0615** · #9 07-28-05, 05:22 pm

? You have it at 5 because that includes pictures correct?

**CavySpirit** · #10 07-28-05, 05:26 pm

Yes. I currently have the picture limit set to 5. So, if I change number to 3 for smilies, you'll also be limited to attaching 3 images per post--which isn't so bad either. If you want to add more, you can start a new post.

**CavySpirit** · #11 07-29-05, 04:17 pm

Okay. The deed is done. HOWEVER, this does not mean we want to see 3 smilies in every post. In fact, we still expect you to refrain from using them. They are NOT punctuation. We don't expect to see smilies in more than about 10% of any one member's posts. Abuse will result in temporary suspension of posting privileges!

Can this be where we test the smilies?

**CavySpirit** · #13 07-29-05, 04:49 pm

Sure, if you want.

**RubyPiggie2** · #14 07-30-05, 12:59 am

Okay, I'm going to try a few...

Wonder if they'll work, I saw it in the smily page.

**lindsey's boys** · #15 07-30-05, 07:25 am

I like them.

**Sabriel** · #16 07-31-05, 09:25 am

I like your smilies pack.

**Piglet** · #17 07-31-05, 09:32 am

Same here! The smilies look really nice

**VoodooJoint** · #18 07-31-05, 10:16 am

I like that when I have to edit out a swear word or rude comment in a post I can replace it with the

I think Piglet wll be seeing a lot of those in her posts the

ing little potty mouth that she is
