Oh, that SuikoCastle? I was once a very minor member there (literally two or three posts), possibly even shortly before it's demise.
...I never enjoyed those smilies in all honesty but that's just my particular take. They certainly were a unique feature and no-one could say they didn't fit into the subject matter there. _________________ One day, I shall come back. Yes, we shall all come back.

Those icons can be found at a certain Japanese site, which is where I got some of my icons. |

Yes, that's where we got them. But CVH added animations to many of them.
The only real problem with them was that they chopped paragraphs up like smilies usually tend to do. So they were best used in a single sentence that didn't go into a second line and become "chopped" looking.
They're also the only smilies/emoticons I've ever liked using. _________________

there are some people who don't seem to understand that a little smiley usage goes a long LONG ways. i've lost track of how many posts had to be edited by one mod or another for excessive usage within ONE POST.
some feel the need to use them in every post as well, another annoyance.
as for member modding, one thought: DON'T DO IT. you can remind them they're straying from the topic, but not TELL them they have to do x. that's our job, leave the actual modding to the mods. _________________ prinny...DOOD!

While loathe to turn this into a thread complaining about the moderating here, the biggest reason why member modding tends to get out of hand here is because there always seems to be very large passages of time when there are no moderators at all. In that situation, the only advise given is "Hang on for a few hours and eventually someone will log on and fix everything!".
EDIT: Ah, a wonderful example has revealed itself! Shanobi gets to run around and generally make my eyes bleed but I just have to turn the other cheek or not cast stones or some such nonsense. _________________ One day, I shall come back.
