    The vast majority of people are nice to other MoneySavers all of the time.

    Sadly, a small proportion who aren't create a large amount of discord and cause offence.

    Agreed.

    However, I think the people who are determined or just naturally inclined to do that will do so with or without the milder of these smileys. rolleyes.gif

    Just as the same people find many ways to circumvent the swear word filter. rolleyes.gif

    Sadly (again) i'm sure they will. Once those instances are reported to abuse, they will be dealt with.

    So deal with the small proportion then! Somebody has lost the plot in MSE towers if they really think that this is an improvement.

    :p

    Why is it OK for me to stick my tongue out at you? Surely that is offensive to the over sensitive. Why not remove them all?

    Far from it, the negative posting causes a huge resource issue, which has led to this decision.

    I'm sorry, but if someone can get upset or feel offended by the sarcastic and confused smilies, they shouldn't be using a forum at all.
