Please oh please Mr. Spark can we please get rid of that stupid immature "jerkit" smiley. I am very please with all aspects of the board threads are modded well, spam is controlled, and for the most part everything runs as it should. Except for that damn "jerkit" smiley
 
:jerkit::jerkit::jerkit::jerkit::jerkit::jerkit:

About the only time I use it is when some nanny stater finds the tiny little misunderstood green man offensive. Don't you know he is rubbing his chin in a contemplative manner?
 
I totally agree. I think we need the jerking monkey (squirrel with really long tail?) instead.

It is kinda childish, it doesn't bother me but I wouldn't use it.
 
Needs to go. Seriously.

It only exists for dimwits who are too stupid to express a good insult using actual grown-up words.

So when I see it being used, I know that person is a retard. By removing the jerkit, it protects these retards from inadvertently exposing their retardedness.

So lets do all of the tards a big favor, and get rid of it. :D

Well said.:thumbup:
 
I kinda want it to go because of the restrictions on it. It's part of the forum, restricting use seems backwards.

Its the opposite of the language filter. With that, you could type whatever you wanted from your own little head, if it was on the list, the software replaced it with asterisks. The forum code and the forum rules were in line for some regulation without having the mods and users scour and report posts for that particular reason.

Now, there's something in the software that can be used, and new rules get posted and people infracted for something that shows up in their post creation window. And there isn't parity across the boards for it. Some boards viewable by non-registered users, any kids, seniors, whoever, can see it posted because it's allowed. On others with the same access level and no definition of what demographic is supposed to visit, it isn't. A grown man is allowed to see and use it on one part of BF, and he isn't at another, and the level of discussion on either board is the same.
 
It's presence causes problems as hardheart says.

I'm in favor of removing it.
 
I have only been around awhile but it seems to me if you don't like it there is no need for you to use it. Me though i think it adds something sometimes like now :jerkit: Really though it isn't so bad but that is just mho
 
You got it backwards. Of course we don't have to use it if we don't like ti. What if we don't like it being used? Some of the discussions here are heated. We are not supposed to insult other members of the forums during those discussions. The jerkit smily is inherently insulting.

I could use the same argument as a reason to keep it in place. So lets do all of us non tards a big favor and keep it on board so we know who are the tards that much sooner.
 
OK, keep it but rename it 'Tard Alert.' Then make an option to block all posts with 'Tard Alert' icons present.
 
I think it's funny when people say they thought it was a man rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

This is the very reason I voted not to get rid of it!. Its the perfect way to id phucktards from a far. Like rapid target acquisitionm in my sights. As soon as I see it used (98% of time incorrectly) I know those f'n trolls are up to know good and can weed 'em outta here lick-ity split :) :cool:
 
I like it, and quite frankly I wish some people wouldn't get so wrapped around the axle about an animated gif. Life is too short
 
If smilies hurt you so much in life, I am jealous of the hardships you have been burdened with so far!


Lighten up Francis, this is the internet for *%^#'s sakes :jerkit:
