do emotes annoy you?

it's ;) hard for :p users to take xD others :O seriously :icon6: when they use about 3-4 emotes per damn sentence. I hardly use them anymore (every now and then I'll use a couple, but I'm trying to only use :) and :D). They annoy me when I see people do :p then :icon6: or something.

Or when they use a random smiley for example the one with the toilet in a post like ''My dad has cancer''.

The only person who does that properly is fragfrog... :eh:.

This doesn't bother me as much as the idiots on msn. The woman are the worst for this. They have a fucking special emoticon for every god damn letter in the alphabet. It's just ridiculous. =/

:huh:http://forum.ragezone.com/images/smilies/icon6.gif

I used to hate putting emotes in everything I wrote, didn't see the point. Then someone said that they wanted me to because it added feeling to the sentence so they can tell what feeling it should give.

Now I can't help it O.O

tbh I see equal, most of the people on my msn use emote on every single line and most of my msn is male.

I think it is a good way to express how you are feeling although when a pafe is filled with them it can really hurt the eyes.

I love em =p but the Ol' Skool >> ;) << =p u wanna shoot me already ? dont u =p

Tools>Show Emotes (Off).

Easiest option to understand what the idiot is trying to say.

imo we need the emotes back cos its annoying and hard to read when people put :P or :) or :D halfway through the sentence and it just makes things look weird. atleast with the emotes you know instantly what they are

but what really anoys me is the people who overuse XD... i mean you use that when somethings really funny and some people end every sentence with it -.-

What kind of possessed guys do you talk to T_T?(Probably not straight ones lol). I have ALOT of people on my contact list. Alot of guys/girls. Except 2% of the guys i have seen use extensive emoticons. Yet litereally 95% of the girls use em. It haunts my nightmares... :frown:

They even have "hi" "bye" "hello" in emos .. haha

I use them on jsut about every line on MSN and I'm her husband so leave out the gay excuse. =P

itz betr dat thay uze em0tez insted of takling lyke dis d00d

i totally agree they add a little feeling to the words some1 is typing as u cannot hear the tone of their voice

however if some1 goes overboard (see mu section) it does my head in

Yes, they do annoys me especially when they overuse it.

Emotes are used way to much... Every second sentence for some is ended or started with, LOL, or XD.

My grandpa died a month ago :technolog and I miss :nopity: him:biggrinth

Can you see me having pain typing this?

umm.. i dunno. never seen anyone do that. i did it only once, but no more.

this emote RoXxX!!! -------> XD

:juggle: yeah!..really it does :diespam:

I tend to be able to tell the age of people on msn within about 10 seconds of talking to them, usually those around the age of 10 have a thousand emotes for every single letter, number, symbol and anything otherwise and add about 20 ":DXD:PLOLSNSTUFFS:pancakes:" at the start, middle and end of every sentance. Then yes, emotes are annoying but used sparingly they add a lot of meaning to the text :P

Every line? You are posessed!:laugh_1:

I actually avoid conversations wth girls thru msn because, even if they don't have an emote for every word, portuguese girls use really annoying abverbiations supposedly to make the sentence more cute :s

this together wth light pink letters and a really small font provides wth a big headache after 5 minutes of reading

I only try to use them to convey my actuall reaction at the time.

but they can be very irritating. I do have to agree that girls are the worst. An emot for every thing drives me crazy!
