insertwackynamehere Posted June 6, 2003 Are smilies allowed as images but not as smilies, or would the mods get mad if I used them in any way shape or form? 0 Share this post Link to post
Epyo Posted June 6, 2003 Sparingly only. Heh, but you'll probably start smiley trains. 0 Share this post Link to post
fraggle Posted June 6, 2003 Dont use them at all. They're turned off because they arent wanted. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted June 6, 2003 Kirby X used a lot of little smilie images, and he got banned pretty quickly. I don't think the smilies were the main reason, but I suspect they didn't help. The fact that they are disabled does kind of suggest they are not wanted. Just use ordinary text smilies. $>:>> 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted June 6, 2003 I suspect that someone will make a post in this thread that contains over 50 different animated smileys. 0 Share this post Link to post

IMJack Posted June 7, 2003 Please don't use smileys from other boards as images on this one. That's image leeching, and quite rude. Remember what happened to Esco in his last, glorious flameout on these boards*. * As opposed to his flameouts on other Doom boards, or his flameout on SA, or his flameouts on however many other forums he's joined... 0 Share this post Link to post

It was doubly stupid.. he was leeching bandwidth from other sites for smileys, which are explicitely not wanted here as they've been disabled. So to clarify, please dont use smileys at all. They've been turned off and to go around that by abusing the image tag is quite rude. 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted June 7, 2003 Although I expect that using mutilated or otherwise violent smilies is acceptable, or humorous smilies that bear some interesting relation to a discussion. 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted June 7, 2003 I'd say if you insist on posting a smiley, put it on your own webspace and use it extremely sparingly, and make sure it's funny. It's hard to get all 3 :P Oh and try and say something apart from just posting an image. 0 Share this post Link to post

Little Faith Posted June 12, 2003 Smiley intensive forums takes so painfully long time to load. Even worse when people have huge animated images in their sigs. 0 Share this post Link to post

Nanami Posted June 12, 2003 Thank god smilies and images in sigs are turned off here. After looking at a handfull of other boards I get tired of signatures that are from here -> -> to here. And 29048242 smiles in EVERY FREAKING POST. Let's all thank doomworld and give it lots of hugs. 0 Share this post Link to post
Amaster Posted June 12, 2003 The only thing more retarded than ten page sigs are ten page sihs that list the system specs of every computer the person has ever owned. 0 Share this post Link to post
