I had to read the post three times before I even realised you were talking about my old friend Mr. Roll Eyes.

We can't ban him - how else would we know people are being dismissive of us?

The smiley itself shouldn't be banned, but the **** that use it incorrectly should.

I actually kind of like it. Mostly people just use it in an argument when they know they've lost and have nothing else to say.

No. I would consider that correct (if it wasn't used in response to a post by me).

It's the band of hope

On the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life"

Sorry, I had to. One of my favourite songs!

Anyway, yes I think it should be banned or else when someone registers, there is some tutorial video they have to watch on how and when to use the feckin' thing.
Nothing worse than a newbie coming in, throwing their weight around and using that smiley to top it off.

Take a vote the same day of the General Election. It's an important issue and the people need to decide.

I suggest you head over to Feedback op, but do a search there first as there have been about 28 million threads on this already.
