This is nothing but purely constant spam, people just trying to get their post count up easily. Making irrelevant and ugly posts that are not related to the topic.

I think anybody who continues along with this action
should be taken note by the Staff and receive a warning.

This a site to discuss midway games, not a Mr. Happy smiley hello kitty island adventure crap.

pretty much but blocking that won't help stop spammers like those only put them on hold.
now trying to banned this tools now that's a better idea.

In the end, I think it probably depends on how it's used. If it's off topic and done by someone who excessively spams, then it's definitely a problem.

I second that my friend! These newbies think this board is like msn or yahoo but no, your post should have something to do with the topic, if it's respecting the midway rules! these guys will never learn...

smileys are a way to express yourself


would you consider this spam:


dodo posted:

sub-zero can shoot ice only!


Hawk posted: explain shock


instead of can you explain that to me, is said: explain with a shocked emoticon

This is offcourse not the best example couldn't think of one at the moment

Should such be banned?

but what you posted is really spam, although i don't know how you want to say lol

laughing out loud that was very funny

sounds weird lol tongue


You can't blaim Ramirez for saying Hola since it IS an ''i'm back topic'' wich should be banned anywayz

Basically thats not what I was talking about, they can still post smileys along with their comments.

But posting them like this alone.

as long as you don't get of topic a smile or two can explain everything and it's also a funny way as long as it has a meaning and is on topic.

In that case, it's not a big deal I think.
