What is with the smiley faces?

Some people choose to add smileys and emoticons to their posts to express themselves and make jokes. While FJ Community does not prevent the use of emoticons, there is no ability to add an emoticon from within the rich text editor. If you wish to insert an emoticon in your post, you will have to copy and paste it from elsewhere. FJ also asks that the use of emoticons be kept within reasonable limits. The over-use of emoticons may result in a post not passing moderation.
