poanoi Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) I think i use them only as an ironic gesture, but now the vai smilie isnt here any longer so guess that's the end of smilies for me Edited August 8, 2012 by poanoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi007 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I use them occasionally, but not that often. I can usually say what I mean to say without emoticons. A few probably save me some suspension time from the forum... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsquared Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I like to use them as they can add another dimension to your post and also for my main reason........ ........I feel they add a bit of fun as well . Cheers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BookMan Posted August 9, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2012 Yeah I use them. The use of the smiley can often mean the post is not interpreted as a flame or personal insult to another poster Can be hard to convey some emotions, sarcasm, lightheardeness, anger if u choose, over a keyboard. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I invariably use this is my posts as a way to show there's no malice intended whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Yes, much better than saying "this is meant as a joke by the way". However I use them sparingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Maybe I don't use them because I try (not always successfully) to keep emotions out of posts to complete strangers. Another reason is that I think that they are silly, especially posts that have more emoticons than words. Go on now, I expect some really refreshing posts consisting entirely of emoticons.
