As I mentioned in the past, of all the emoticons, I think this one offends the most: :finger_bleah:

:angeldevil: Angel - Devil transformation..

well i told genma of the emoticons before also ... LUV them...

as for these :finger_bleah: :screwu: i dont mind them .. i guess they r for fun and should be used to fun .. but then "all" people in the forum here might now get it ... as we so often see .. I still think they r cute

GUYS GREAT JOB :applaud: :applaud:

If you've noticed, there's a new link on the left of the page when you "Post a reply".

Customize my Emoticons allows you to customize your default set of emoticons showing on the left column when posting your messages. Try it out.. I just did it in the few hours I had yesterday. :victory:

About the offensive emoticons.. would like to hear from more..

Woaaah..So funny i think I might be addicted to it.. :rofl:


I can customize the emoticons? COOL!! jeez..i might end up saving the rude one..LoL

I don't think that :finger_bleah: :screwu: are all that bad.

It lies in only the manner that you use them in. Also, I trust the users here know the effect that it'll bring when they are to use it in a malicious way. As of now, the :finger_bleah: emoticion hasn't served much of a problem. I've only seen about 3-5 cases in which people have used it maliciously. And in the (almost) 2 years in which I've been here, that's a pretty good average (IMO).

We've not enough evidence of abuse of these emoticions to rid of them just yet.

AYE AYE CAPTAIN ....

i think that emoticons are like words in a way, depends on how and when people use it .. just that sometimes they might be misuderstood if u dont know the other person well enough.

misuse -- > MOD TIME as bmw would say .. :):)

Man the customize feature was a great idea . :applaud: . works excellently .. maybe we can think of some idea to do an img burst so as to display more icons by default and not take too long.

Personally, I feel that the emoticons just help to convey a person's feelings or gestures. If there was any malicious intent, getting rid of the emoticons wouldn't stop them at all.

Perhaps bmwracer was referring to cases where people are offended unintentionally? It could lead to misunderstandings and unwanted fights.

So now the question is.. should they be taken out to prevent such cases, even though they are relatively rare (based on JDorama.com's past).


Regarding the customized emoticons feature, any feedback and suggestions? Instructions clear enough? Not many have been using it yet. :headscratch:

z123_us: Image burst may improve speeds, but each image is animated at different speeds, which makes it almost impossible to have them together. (did I get your point correctly?? :confused: )

yeah i was just thinking that although the customization feature is excellent .. what would be great would be if we could increase the no of default icons being displayed ... and get rid of the extension altogether.

for eg in yahoo mgr -> we have all icons on system .. so access is very fast ... maybe we can think of some plugin that one can download and can be linked to the web page to display all icons on the page itself or in a quick open pop up. .... thinking thinking..

as for BMW ... i just luv his quote --> MOD time ... hehe is funny..

i would just leave the emoticons for now .. if some stupid people misuse .. i am sure removing them at a later time would not be a big problem anyhow.

True, but more times than not, there's only one sole purpose for those emoticons...

Heh, it almost sounds like the NRA's oft-quoted gun control rebuttal: "guns don't kill people, people kill people..." :bleh:

So now the question is.. should they be taken out to prevent such cases, even though they are relatively rare (based on JDorama.com's past).

actually i dont think this is bad, though some people might take them personally even if its a joke you'll never know :rolleyes: hehe yall forgot this one too :finger_devil:

I agree. It's like using the word "Jap....." Better off to err on the side of caution.....

well said.

I say leave 'em in. If you leave them on the "more Emoticons" page, the probability that they will only be used by experienced users is very high. And if experienced users can't use them responsibly, there are bigger problems. As for people taking offense even when none is intended, 1) that can happen no matter what you do, and 2) what the hell are such peole doing using the Internet??? :) :hehe:

Uh, has the custom emoticons thingy been disabled?

Sorry for the technical jargon. :beaten:
