The great smiley reform act of 2013

[Jim the Dinosaur]

Voting's anonymous to avoid voter intimidation. Codex is an ok place, but the smileys are extremely crappy, either it's shitty emoticons like , I mean c'mon who'd show that to their uncle on christmas? Or it's those shitty big things that are funny for one day maybe, I mean let people look up their hilarious pictures online, they only get lazy this way. Dac should show the way, you even already have a couple: and some more. They perfectly enforce the point being made by the poster. So, more of those, and scrap the rest.

I mean these ones, c'mon::youreafag:

 

[Whisky]

I agree with the first three smilies, but the last one is an indispensable tool for GD threads.

 

[mck]

douche chills

 

[evdk]

Dac should show the way

This is the Dex, KTHXBYE

Spoiler

FUCK animated gifs though.

Still voted no on principle

 

[The Brazilian Slaughter]

I agree, we need to get rid of these shitty unpure smiles, especially ones that aren't Codex trolls or show ambiguous emotions.

 

[Jim the Dinosaur]

I agree with the first three smilies, but the last one is an indispensable tool for GD threads.

Yeah, but see that's how they keep us divided, everytime somebody has their own pet favorite giant smiley which justifies all the other ones. That's why the great smiley reform act of 2013 is necessary.

This is the Dex, KTHXBYE

Yeah, but see that's how they keep us divided.

I HATE THAT FUCKING PIGEON!!!

Where are the lobby groups? I wish to sell my vote.

There's no lobbying, you can't influence DU's sick whims in any way.

Good to see this months smiley argument thread just scraped in, was worried we weren't going to have one for August.

Who's turn is it for September? Can they please wait until at least the 15th to spread them out.

Thanks

 

[Jim the Dinosaur]

Wow you must be a real life of the party.

[Jim the Dinosaur]

Just showing off how well dac-smileys can enforce snappy comebacks. Alternative was: oh no you didn't

 

[evdk]

So, is Jim the Dinosaur the DAC version of HiddenX?

 

[Jim the Dinosaur]

Dac poses no danger bro, just need to hold your breath, go over to the fetid corpse and pry out its golden tooth of smileys.

 

[Excidium]

Codex really has some shitty extremely situational emotes. Stuff like that should be left to img hosting

 

[Cosmic Misogynerd]

Jim the Dinosaur, so you basically come from a shitty forum (DaC), started posting regularly just recently, and now are pushing your demands on the Codex? Seriously?

Please ban this fucker.

 

[The Brazilian Slaughter]

Smiles that need to go:

:Do_O:/:youreafag:


Also bring back the Declining troll, and make a Inclining trol (a troll doing a guitar solo?)l for the wasteland 2 release.

 

[Jim the Dinosaur]

Please ban this fucker.

You can kill me, but you cannot kill the righteous cause of smiley reform. Vote yes on the great smiley reform act of 2013 people.

 

[Cosmic Misogynerd]

I voted no.

 

[FeelTheRads]

The fag one is annoying. Can't stand that woman's face. So fucking annoying.

In before:

Spoiler

:youreafag:

Voted no because fuck Jim the Dinosaur.

 

[communard]

Purge them all. Graphical emoticons and image macros are fucking annoying and stupid. Bring back ASCII art.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

I think it's important for those who are going to vote in this poll, that they be made aware of the facts during this election campaign.

I mean these ones, c'mon: :youreafag:

81 uses.

89 uses.

389 uses.

5,536 uses.

The first two were only implemented in April this year, averaging 16 uses per month. While "what" has been around for three years receiving 153 uses per month, and the phrase "notsureifserious" has been used as far back as 2009 - but wasn't a smiley until last year - keeping its monthly usage around 20 to 30.

That all compares to 1,262 uses in 5 years, which sees an average of 21 uses per month.

Don't listen to Jim the Dinosaur's scare campaign. It's only full of misinformation and lies.

Just because lots of people use something doesn't mean it's not shit. See: Game industry.

Also, few if any of the MHD smiley's uses were people complaining that it's shit, unlike the notsureifsrs and you'reafag ones. WtfamIreading on the other hand, deserves to stay.
