A Modest Proposal 11

I understand the reason why the and graemlins were switched out temporarily to the April fool's day versions.
If people are using the feels good, bad, or weird frog as the main/only source of content in a thread, then that should be considered trolling and they should be warned/punished individually.
But the frogs are funny, simple, and sometimes an effective way of expressing things.
When will the original graemlins be brought back?

Banning something because a few people abuse it is hypocritical in the perspective of most of the shroomerites views on drug laws...

But the change destroys continuity of existing threads. Maintenance of which is the primary stated reason that a user's account can't be deleted. It's a high price to pay for a prank.
Feels bad, man.

It was re-implemented because it's fucking annoying reading a potential discussion-worthy thread, only to see it littered with those graemlins every other sentence. It's like reading a child's picture book, and most of us don't like it. It's just flat out annoying.

so don't pay attention to it
or get rid of them
switching them to something that was designed to be offensive or undesirable to look at or what have you is asking for threads like this
pretty lame , imo

You're absolutely right. I'll make a thread for the mods to decide on how to handle excessive graemlins in the Pub.

This statement applies to much of the site, really. Graemlins, threads, posters, avatars, sig blocks, ignore lists. Everybody does something that annoys somebody else.
Now, arbitrary and capricious retaliation is well within Ythan's scope. But this destroys the continuity of prior threads- they weren't all stupid. Anybody annoyed by the images could have blocked them and left the rest of us to our unmolested viewing.
And can't "overuse" be applied to all graemlins? How many smiley faces are on this site? 
(You want to talk about stupid graemlins, why do we have that Sheen one? )

You guys are forgetting your history. Those replacement images aren't new, they were created at least a year ago when they were first utilized in this same way. They now come out of retirement every one in a while and do their duty fighting the plague of graemlin overuse, then go back into hibernation until the next time the site requires a champion.
Because sometimes you get the smileys you deserve, just not the smileys you need right now.
