Could you possibly make discussion threads for Announcements topics like the smiley ones, and link them on the Announcements posts - like they do over in .net? It works well :dip:
I do indeed have a lot to say about smileys.
:rules: I believe that this smiley is a fantastic idea, as it means that non-moderators and wannabe-moderators can use it to warn rule-breakers that they are breaking the rules, thus potentially saving the moderators a job as the player may decide to edit/remove his post.
HOWEVER, it also could start an argument as to whether someone broke the rules or not, thus derailing a thread. As such, I believe that it needs to be thoroughly discussed as to whether this could be a potential problem in practice, or not, which requires a discussion thread based on the announcement.
Ok, that is the first new smiley covered.
:smack: I believe that this smiley does more bad than good. It promotes the idea of violence, and given that is an issue throughout the States and Europe (the States being the focus here due to the server), it highlights domestic violence, which depresses me. Again, this needs discussion, in my opinion.
So, is it possible to have said thread now?

You have been seen stating how much you "love" this: :smack: and it wouldn't be hard to assume that you love :rules: this just as much.

I actually thought the same when I saw the smilies , but I think they are fun and like anything else should be used wisely in conjunction with the rules.
This doesn't require an announcement debate of any kind :smack:
<3
Yes.. thats actually the first decent idea i think you've come up with
[02:23:00] Fordy/Sonic: I go on .us for one day moan about the smileys and the next day theres a announcement saying theres more
I win
Troll... anyway wish we had some smilies that were similar to the emoticons used on skype.

Please don't have a whine, but i am not sure if Skype smilies are allowed to be part of the forum, link with URL is one thing, but having them loaded onto the server might be breaking the rules a bit.
And yes, i know you said "like" the ones used on skype, but i thought i might aswell say that and await all the weird responses.
I agree. And I'm still in shock.
I won't answer that as it will need to go through OFLOW, and all that
