I suggest we get rid of the rolleyes

smiley. It's got no purpose except to cause ill feelings between people. It alone has caused more trouble than all the other smileys put together. Why don't we just nuke it and save ourselves lots of headaches?

Here's what I think of your suggestion:

Come on howste. That was soooo predictable.

Likewise to Rob.

I'm very serious about this suggestion though.

Well I do agree, but I disagree at the same time. It is the only way besides foul language and serious trash talking (which is obviously prohibbited) to show how you feel about someone's post.

But then on the flip side as you have pointed it, it does end up causing a lot of the fights to begin with.

Honestly, I think it's perfectly fine the way it is.

So i'll throw another in for the fun of it

Howste, great minds think alike.

Unless the accompanying text content is libelous or seething with overblown hatred, I find it amazing that an Internet forum post due to an emoticon can offend anyone.

I don't think OuT has gotten the point yet.

So you're saying this particular smiley doesn't ever cause any problems? I think you're wrong.

If we're not allowed to bash other members then how come we have a smiley that essentially does the same thing. Seems to be inconsistent with the rules.

But whatever. Obviously minds are already made up about this.
