Long name huh.
How do you think smilies should be used? I prefer slipping one in here and there for really emphesis. When I see smilies used like this :cry: :eek: :mad: It kind of takes away from their affect.

A smilie should be the metaphoric icing on the cake; used sparing in the post and at the end. :jess:
Image-based emoticons should die in a dirty, radioactive fire.
I love smilies :D They should be everywhere! :bigsmile:
:D I completely agree! :love:Quote:

Or, of course, if the author has no point to make with them.
Smilies are the Devil's candy.
Sometimes I smilie too much. Sometimes I smilie not enough. Moderation is...hard to achieve.
I love smileys! :eek:

I simply love them :) :spin: :exdee: :hyper: :roll:
Noobs often love posting them more than 5 times a post. :) :D :love: :eek: :cry:
See. That was only 5. :cool:
I tend to use smilies when I'm being "cute" whilst talking to ladies online, but that's about it. I do sometimes use them to post but usually to express myself more clearly. For example this; :moose: doesn't serve any other purpose than to add flair. I don't need flair. Hence it doesn't get used.
Without :jess: my whole life would be meaningless.
An attention-seeking smiley, you say?

Edit: oh well, you'll have to click on it, sorry
I don't use them that often, and very rarely more than 1 at a time. But I think the basic ones like smile, frown, grin etc are very important especially when what you say can be misinterpreted without a facial expression.
Example:
"You complete goit." <-- offensive
"You complete goit :D" <-- playful
:(
Such emotion.
Such a powerful dispaly of sadness.
Such simpleness.
:chef: can be used to show any emotion
