I can just guess which one you used, and in what context. I think I've got a pretty good idea.

You don't get banned just for emoticons (unless you do some major smilie spam or something). What's the whole story?

It was a stupid emot I made for a message board I used to hang around. That place was total chaos.

It's not like it was an animated photograph. I could see getting banned for that.

Kat is very reasonable. So, why not tell us everything that happened. I'm on her side and I have zilch in the sympathy department for you.

So what was this emoticon? If you made a :goatse: emote or something, I'm not surprised you got forumbanned.

I was in the "Let This Be Known" thread and was being goofy as hell (I was in one of my "make fun of everything" moods) and Czardas asked what a CyberSheep Farmer was. So, I posted this hilariously sick little emoticon of a red, mad faced smiley making humping motions behind a cow with its eyes bugging out at certain intervals.

I'd post a link to the emot, but that would probably get this handle banned, too.

I actually have two different :goatse: emoticons I downloaded from different places. *evil grin*

But I wouldn't post those here...even before I got banned. They're just *too* out there.

I've gotta say... That was pretty stupid.

And you can't see why you were banned for a week?

Funny, yes, but the level of stupidity overrides the level of comedy.

i can't think of a single instance where an emoticon that angrily flips another poster off wouldn't be considered at least mildly offensive, meself.

Wait, you're banned and you're posting with a puppet? You're going to get deleted when the mods catch on. If I were you I'd post an appology in Moderation and stop posting unitl the ban is over.

There is a tread called "forum ban evasion" or something like that ... I would just let it be known that you did not know

But.... I posted on at least one of your threads under that name. The thread about "what to do with the reservation system". I'm hurt that you don't remember.


Well, not really, but we did meet while I was going under that name.
