**What the :flipoff: dude is for**

[SR5Dave]

I am REALLY annoyed at you people and your dude usage.

Lets start with what is NOT for.
1. It is NOT a substitute for the F word
2. It is NOT something you just put on any random line because it looked neat
3. It does NOT make you cool to use it all the time
4. Using the flipoff dude after a downright offensive comment does NOT make it better!!!!!! I can NOT emphasize that enough.

What the is:
The dude is here to imply sarcasm, or friendly joking. THAT IS IT! It will not save your ass when you want to say something to someone that is just plain rude!

QUIT ABUSING THE FLIPOFF DUDE!!!!!

Hey, Dave... YOU!

Somebody had to do it...


Yeah he's the sarcasm emoticon the way I see it.

Heh... Really though, its becoming an epidemic. I'm going to have to start weeding out stupid emoticons from posts!

"The Great Emoticon Epidemic of 2005"

"Improper" use of the highly regarded and critically acclaimed is mostly done by the new guys that don't know better.

Nice reference...

I know its mostly done by the new guys, in any case, this is here now so when someone uses it wrong, we can direct them at this.

well im not new now but when i was i realized that using it improperly is bad. i usually use it in the situations where i find more experienced members using it.

[Plays_with_Toys]

Thanks for demonstrating the most retarded use possible. It made you look stupid, exactly like I stated.

[Plays_with_Toys]

That's what I'm here for!

I think its funny... Everyone's reached the breaking point as far as others' posting faults. I hadn't noticed a problem with the guy... The biggest " " epidemic was when it was first introduced... Like 3 pages of nothing but dude posts.

Oh, and the whole axel thing I only saw one time... Atleast people know what an axel means, it means axle. Now "roxorz" and "teh 1337"

It's not about being nice when using them, it about using common sence when using them.
