A lot of you might have noticed that the [Facepalm] smiley is getting overused these days, whether by posting it when it's not needed, or by posting an entire reply consisting of just ":sy:".
Some members even spam that smiley by posting it more than once after a single sentence, which makes it somewhat annoying.

I'd say it's not really needed. One can write "[facepalm]" or "-facepalm-" to express himself/herself.

Conclusion: The ":sy:" smiley is getting overused, some members can't post something without including it in their replies, which makes it annoying and repetitive.

This is a request/suggestion to the staff. Use the poll if you agree or disagree. Feel free to tell us what you think about it.

Personally I don't see why it should be removed. It's a smiley like all the others. There have been posts where the ":D" smiley was abused as well.
Sometimes the overuse of the smiley can be annoying, but I just ignore it then and try to focus on the text on its own. Plus it takes a bit less time to just click on the smiley instead of writing "facepalm" full out. I don't mind writing words full out, but I assume there are members who like certain smileys because it makes replying quicker

No leave it be. It's not like every single post consists of that emoticon.. And it serves it's purpose. It helps reflect your own mood/feelings on a post or thread.... Just like now :sy:

Lol, but to each their own. It's your opinion to think that way, and it's fine. I highly doubt it will be removed because of this thread, though.

the people who are complaining about it are the people who's threads and/or posts get facepalmed...

conclusion: don't make new threads or post dumb crap and you won't get facepalmed...

P.S. "Facepalm" lol

I overuse this ":|" smiley because I am always indifferent. Threads these days are ":sy:" worthy. If you facepalmed at a thread, I believe you have the right to use a facepalm smiley. :|

Then do you agree to replace the current [Facepalm] smiley with one like this "

" or this "
You must be registered for see images
" in which it's less annoying?
This way you don't need to write the full word.

You got it wrong. I made like two or three threads a long time ago and I don't remember someone posting a facepalm smiley in one of them.
Why I made this suggestion is because I'm noticing that it's becoming overused by members of the base.

I've never used it. I usually post a pic if something is really facepalm worthy. That smiley is abused.

Now that would be an interesting smiley as well. I wouldn't mind using that one either

I have a better idea... Why not just stop with all the childish inane threads which serve no purpose other than illustrating the creators lack of intelligence and desperate need for attention of any kind... Wow! Maybe those hand over smileys would become unessessary.... :sy:

It seems more members disagree with deleting the facepalm smiley. How about replacing it with something less annoying? Like this one for example "
You must be registered for see images
".

Deleting an overused smiley won't change much unless you use it often. If you want more smilies you can make a suggestion about it, or borrow some from the internet.
