What do you people think about using smiles as your signature or something.

Hey Warriors.

Today I was just browsing the threads on warrior and this just struck me so I thought of posting a thread about it.

In about 30-50 of my posts I have

(three smiles) at the end of that post and now I stopped using them because I think that they are not appropriate and they make no sense and I shouldn't have them.

What do you people think.

Well was it in your signature or at the end of your post ?

if in your signature : I think it's fine, on some level it says to others that you a welcoming, relaxed, fun loving guy/girl. And if that's what you want to tell people about yourself then by all means

putting it at the end of posts(before signature): This (depending on the post) can be inappropriate, and isn't really needed IMO

Hello, Mohammad:

I don't see any problem with it - it is a reflection of your personality.

By now, everybody knows that a

Smilie represents friendship.

If you were to use a different Smilie, it might send a wrong message
or a misunderstood message. But a

Smilie is universally friendly in
my opinion.

I have used a single

in all of my forum signatures across the Internet
for a couple of years now. I feel it is as much a part of my signature
now as my name!

I say, if YOU like posting three Smilies, go for it!

has been used for a very long time universally and will continue to be done so. It certainly projects friendliness and lightens up the message, and most well understood by all.

I remember many a times reading posts, articles etc the message of which was lighten up by using

at the end.

I believe this pleasant expression is still going to be used for a long long time to come.

I think you might want to leave them at the end of posts. I haven't read the rules in awhile but I don't think they are allowed in signatures - if you read the rules and it's allowed to put them in there, then it's your sig and if that's your style, do it.

Nothing other than standard size text with regular formatting and hyper links is allowed in your signature.

No colors, no illustrations, no larger text sizes, no affiliate links, etc are allowed in your signature.
