    It's actually pretty simple. Just don't use an insulting emoticon in a way that insults a member. Pretty sure there are other ways to use the loser smiley without calling another member a loser. I.e. someone used it in the context of the forum update. Apt use of it. Or we can use it when talking about some idiot in the news, say.... pretty easy to avoid calling fellow members losers! You just deal with it in the same way you would the actual word.

    I'll use 'em all...unfortunately, sometimes ppl on here come across as losers & need to be told that. They shouldn't be there if you can get in trouble for using them. Aren't we adults here?

    "Kat banned you?....why?"
    "I used a loser emoticon."
    "Oh."

    Yes, that is just a tad ridiculous. 3:-O
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    You really go around telling people they are a loser?? I have never seen you do that before... seems pretty mean. Even if some is acting like "a loser" in yoir opinion, since when was it okay to call someone that on this forum? For that matter, since when was directing the L on the forehead sign at someone adult behaviour?? A person wouldn't get banned for using the loser emoticon. They might for calling another member a loser though.

    Nope, not me! Never have before. Not my style...just saying, that there are certain instances when I've seen that it would be appropriate:

    "What are you? The Forum police for pointing out something I said that was wrong?....asshole!"
    "No, you're choice of songs on your PJ mixtape sucks!"
    "Why would you want THAT poster??...Its ugly as hell!"
    "Yes, I think that bringing my 8month old to the pit is TOTALLY appropriate!"

    And why have those certain emoticons available, if they aren't meant to be used?

    L-) loser :^o liar :-@ blah, blah, blah, you talk too much :-t you like to wave dildos & then chew on them :!! and whatever the hell this one is

    Lol! Yeah, it has been made easier to be rude to people with the stupid new smilies... but just because they are there is doesn't mean we have to use them in a way so they're directed towards other board members (there are other uses for all of those emoticons). Maybe it's a 10c lesson in restraint! :D ;-)
    That hammertime one is fucking hilarious btw. :))

    I have to agree with Diimitris. I am having so much trouble with this new forum, that I don't even look forward to coming on anymore. It really has taken the joy away for me too.

    Shouldn't matter how many posts you have or if you're first PJ show was in 91 - Tenclub should listen to:

    And regarding this issue, they should have listened and answered YESTERDAY.

    If anyone is good as GIF-making, I would like the text "NeoGAF" to be changed to "Tenclub" in this GIF and use for all these kind of situations, that's just keep on happening. Like clockwork.

    Nice new features and layout, awesome that it is responsive to mobile phones - but seriously, this needs a lot of work on the CSS scripts to make it easy to follow. In just 5 mins with Chrome script editor I customised some of the CSS entries to change colours and text sizes to make it much easer to read and less confusing/cluttered. Please give this RESPECTFUL feedback to whoever built the new forum in it because the job is only half done and with just a few more tweaks will be a great step forward.

    I've never been a big poster but I do like to come on regularly to see what people are talking about. I can't comment on the search function or issues with pm's or other stuff like that because I don't really use them.

    But...this forum is god awful. It's actually painful to try and read and make sense of. Worst design ever. It does help some to increase the font size but still sucks imo.

    It works & looks great on a Blackberry, for the very first time!! No need to zoom in & out to view the message board. Very fast & easy to use.

    As for roaming the board on the desktop PC, the text is too small. Without out logging into your account and disabling the signatures, the signatures are just awful and should be disabled even if you're not logged into your account.

    Everything else is going well. Would be great if our post count wasn't by our name cause it's confusing seeing your name & post # right next to it. Can that be fixed where to view how many posts the user has posted, just click their user name instead? Every fan should be equal, no matter how many posts they have posted here.

    Don't like how signatures get same weight as messages... Makes it very confusing to read.

    Go to account options under your user name- top left.- click on preferences and then go to signature settings- click all of them and then you no longer see peoples stuff in their posts.

    I'm on a PC, but this doesn't work for me. If I use CTRL + the + key, it jumps too much and everything gets pixillated. Plus, I don't wanna have to adjust the page everytime I get on it.

    I'm sorry but the new forum is bad. It's incredibly dificult to navigate and read. You can't find anything nor can you tell where one one post ends and the next begins. I don't see where any of this is an improvement other than that now the avatars actually update.
