Okay, I asked for this. Deckard started a thread about the rolleyes emoticon. I suggested we do a poll. So here it is.

Some people say that they rarely use it because it is too obnoxious. Some say it is not a bad thing and should keep as many emos as possible.

What say you?

Sure, just marginalize the guy, why don't you?

What did he ever do to you?

I should have added a line of disclaimer:

Nothing personal to SwoLy-D.

Seriously? How sesative are people gettin here? It a smiley face. If you can't deal with one I pity you.

It is also a helpful response to many of the self-righteous political snobs on the board

I don't think it really adds anything positive to the board.

Dump it.

Maybe we should have a choice for keeping it in the D&D only.

Noooooo!!! It's probably abused there more than any place else. Thanks for posting the poll, Easy, although it might have been better in the GARM. I noticed that a ban had the early lead, but the "roll-eyes" fans are storming back. Will that last, or will the evil "roll-eyes" emoticon go the way of the Edsel and Ralph Nadir?


(am I wrong about Nadir? Is he still a functioning human being??)

Actually, I would support a motion to toss the whole D&D forum and ban any political, religious, or any topic that is fit for that place. Save some bandwidth for more basketball things.

It's not a question of "you can't deal with" it. It's just totally useless. Urinating on people is not actually harmful (urine is pretty sterile actually), but we typically don't allow it because it's obnoxious and doesn't accomplish anything but making everything less conducive to anything good happening.

So goes the roll-eyes. Masturbatory -- the only person enjoying them (I assume) is the person who posts them. Boring, useless.

Not a question of sensitivity. Just logic. And rhino17, you can always just type "you are so stupid" which is basically equivalent... people do that all the time anyway.

Using that logic, is there a NEED for any of the smilies? Do we really need one that smilies and also one with a slightly larger smile ? One that is smiling, but also winking? How bout one that's only difference is that is wears sunglasses?

Id posting "you are stupid" less useless? It's less time consuming to simply

the hostility will never leave the forums even if the "rolleyes" emoticon is tossed out, people will post other things to keep up the hostility, so tossing the rolleyes, is not going to solve the hostility problem here.

exactly, if there are people that use rolleyes to voice their frustration, when it is gone, they will just lash out with text. What's the difference?

I'd not be shocked if you don't smile a lot in real life, but it actually does a ton for communication and making cool things happen. Sometimes it leads to the sex!

Edit: looks like the roll-eyes are going to win. People other than me are so so stupid.
