Wow, the forums and the irc AREN'T the videogame? This is some heavy stuff, man. Never thought I see such deep insight coming out of your mouth. Oh hey, I even responded to a question exactly like this before, this has some weird parallels to the other "creepy" discussion doesn't it?

This is the Streisand effect at its finest: you guys want the removal of something that nobody even used/knew about and now everyone knows about them/uses them quite heavily.
This was a complete non-issue right up until this thread appeared.
On a completely related note, this was my reaction when I saw this thread:

Yeah, It's weird how when someone brings an issue to light that people start paying attention to it, isn't it? You'd think that as soon as people start discussing it, it would fade away simply out of principle.

Except it wasn't an issue up until everyone was told about the floppy dick emoticons.
lol Walrus you are so snarky, you aren't the master of debate or w/e you think you are
but the reason I bring it up is because the irc doesn't follow the server rules, which poopcrunch even stated himself, ergo, why would the forum either?
Hence why I said what I did
:yosbutt:
you are so funny how much you really care about all of this

Winklabom Wrote:The floppy dicks violate the "No sexual content" rule that is enforced on the SERVERS.
Nowhere in the rules does it say this also applies to IRC/the forums.
Technically speaking, the forums are exempt of those rules.
There's no reason to think that the forums don't follow the server rules, unless an admin weighs in on it of course. Does the forum allow sexual things as it is now? Why would it? Seeing as how the game explicitly has nothing sexual in it you would think that the discussion forum about the game would not allow sexual things either, yes? We already have outlawed bigotry/racism on the forums, which is A Server Rule, is it somehow that big of a leap to assume the rule directly under it applies as well?

I think there needs to be more administrative deliberation about these sort of things, because the community can't seem to discuss these things without turning it into a cycle of yelling at each other. I know this isn't the thread about creepy things in general but that's what this is becoming, and even after that was locked these threads are still appearing, so something definitely needs to be worked out to make these things clearer for everyone so the bickering (on the topic) can end.

The only reason the emotes are there in the first place is because they likely copied over the entire suite of emotes from SA.

Yes, I would greatly appreciate it if a Head Admin or whoever has the authority to make a decision on this would pop in and clarify.
