Newbies and the puke icon
Wednesday, January 1, 2003 by WOM | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
It seems that some newbies think it's cool to put the puke sign while commenting on artists work. This seems like a lack of class. If you don't like a certain work then move on or politely say so without the puke icon. If you think you can create something better, do so. Remember, these people spend hours and days doing this for free. So show some class.

The sad thing about this is, we've had this discussion a while back and the boss said no. (if I remember correctly) I think it's a copout for those who cannot express themselves verbally. Oh well. >

Then the boss should seek to have a little more class Wom. There is no place for an icon like that. It oozes immaturity, lack of class, and tact.

If we are keeping "Mr. Pukey" why don't we put up one that "flips you the bird too"

If the puke Icon was removed Maybe it could be replaced with anouther animated icon.One that is funny .But I haven't got any ideas yet on what it would look like.

WOM I was not aware "the Boss" said no on a previous occasion. He does not strike me as one who has trouble expressing himself. I'm sure all the skinners who have this icon displayed in their comments thank him profusely.

WOM...I don't remember any specific reference to the removal or not of the 'puke' icon...but I certainly would endorse its removal....it's asinine and puerile.....and certainly unwarranted in skin comments....

Jafo, like I said, it's been some months back and things start running together, but I think frogboy didn't want to remove it. Might have been another admin, not sure at this time. But why don't you bring it up. It is very tasteless in skin comments. It's the cowards way out. To easy to put that icon than explain why.

the emoticons were really meant to augment and narrow the interpretation of expressed words. ( is that blatant barb serious criticism, or just good-natured teasing ?) words alone are woefully subject to misinterpretation in direct proportion to the reader's paranoia quotient, and the degree to which he takes himself too seriously. not that i've ever felt insulted, mind you...

Now that seems to be the main complaint does it not?
That has surely been my downfall in popularity with certain people.
Hey, Hello!
I'm kidding...
Is that so hard to accept?
Is that so demeaning to you?
Hello!
Grow up.....
