Smilies

There should be an option 'Smileys are overused already, for the love of god no more'.

The only time I saw new smileys on that page was where some idiot Steve-O posted three of them in quick succession. People have 'smiley fits' where they scan the smiley list for anything remotely resembling the content of their post, or often just any smiley at all, and click about 3-5 of them in needlessly. They spam their posts with billions of little faces perhaps because they can't convey their emotions well enough with text, but more commonly just because they can.

Thankfully we have a smiley limit. And a reasonable selection of icons. Some are needless - IMO the text 'gp32' is better than a stupid icon, I don't want to play picture puzzles every time I read a post. And the ninja is overused in many posts when it has no real meaning (even I am guilty of this).

Adding more? Let's see... a knight? Where the hell am I going to use that? Oh I can see it now:

wow rlyeh this is a real great release you are truley a savor of teh community!

Smileys are designed to represent your emotion at the time. I have never dressed up as a fucking knight. The thumbs-up one is OK, but the 'Cool' one is redundant as you can say that with text.

Ultimately, not impressed, and recommend not adding any more wretched smileys to this forum

I want a smilie where you can give someone the finger.

Wow, that sounds like a really good deal, but I think I got a better one. How about, I give you the finger, and you give me my phone call?

EDIT:

Arrgh too pissed to remember how the hell to pretend quote.
