New Facepalm Policy

Why not delete the facepalm from the emoticons database? it´s much more clever than waste time counting the number of times an user post it. Seriously: "If the tree is giving rotten fruit why bother cutting the fruit, cut the tree"*

The thing is, its not abused THAT MUCH to get rid of it.

Trying to supervise the number of facepalms from each post is a waste of time. I think the moderators must have more important things to do in the forum. Really, if the aim of this thread is to "scare" facepalm abusers it´s ok, but if they plan to survey every post for facepalm abuse it´s a really silly move.

You don't have to count them, just look. If it's a big long string, it's too much. If it's a bunch, but each one of them is in response to a different quote, then it's fine.

If you don't understand what's reasonable, then just don't use it.

Though, could you set a limit for a specific number of :fp's?

If I read it correctly, the limit is 1.

And if you're going to facepalm someone, at least explain why their logic is wrong.

There's a huge difference between a facepalm followed by "lol, u r n idot" and "No. This won't work because once you do ..."

Using a few facepalm smileys is fine,

He didn't really clearly define a limit...

but why would you post more then 1 ?
 
go ahead and see what happens...

This policy is meant to try and curb stupid extremism. If you don't feel like you can use common sense, don't bother doing anything. The moderators will react how we feel is appropriate for whatever situation. Don't push your luck, and we won't have to do anything.
 
You're treating a symptom while the disease rages on, consumes the human race. The fish rots from the head, so they say. So I'm thinking, why not cut off the head?
 
Anyone can make analogies, comparing things to something else.

The fact of the matter is that some of us can be responsible enough to use the emoticon.

It was a joke. Cut the head off the human race. Dr. Horrible.

Never mind.

:fp

This isn't a hard and fast rule saying "you can only use X facepalms in your post". Nobody is going to count facepalms, that's ridiculous. When you see a post like this it's pretty obvious he's overdoing it without having to count the actual number of times the emoticon was used.

Just use your common sense. The facepalm emoticon is there because there are situations that call for it, but that doesn't mean you can fill a post with facepalms in lieu of actual content.

...It's not a perfect metaphor.
