New Icon Requests

[FellowshipOfFineFellows]

Now, I love my Mumsnet, but can I possibly suggest some new little icons to go with the popular and ones?

I'd like a wet kipper- we aren't allowed to goad or be mean to people, so, rather than like last night when I got told off for calling someone a "fuckbag", you'd just have the wet kipper icon instead. As in "slapped with a wet kipper due to stupidity/annoyance etc".

I'd also like a two fingered salute one, for more or less the same reason as above. We all feel like a two fingered salute sometimes?

And finally, a red alert one, like a beacon for out there alerts of daft posts and "should have seen this coming you daft bint" moments, for times when an OP has posted about a subject, we have all sagely advised against it, and they've done it and are now re-posting a new thread to bemoan their lack of insight??

Hello. Thanks for this.

We're glad you like our emoticons but we have to say there are a fair few MNers who would be quite, um, exercised if MN became too emoticon-tastic.

And we reckon your suggestions - especially the two-finger salute one - do sound a little like a way to post a personal attack without actually using words!

We do appreciate the frustration everyone feels in all three of the situations you describe but we're not quite sure this is the best way to spread peace, love and respectful debate on the boards...

Perhaps a peace sign then?

Was joking btw.

I like the sound of the wet kipper - that would be most useful.

I think the biscuit has become another way of giving the two finger salute.

I would like a "bag of shite" emoticon - although I'm not really sure what it would look like.

Now a peace sign, on the other hand....

[FellowshipOfFineFellows]

I feel a peace sign would calm a situation- you can't say no to a peace sign after all.

And there was me thinking a head in hands icon could work. What about a T-rex one, just for posterity? :)

[FellowshipOfFineFellows]

I'm with DeeMonic. Or a Pombear one.

[champagnesupernova]

[MaureenCognito]

I know youll grant that wish

[FellowshipOfFineFellows]

Oh bear one where is that

You could have a big W for wanker eh?

[OlaRapaceFru]

Yooohooo, Beardy. Get yourself over here. Join in immediately! [hgrin]

[DeeMonic]

Just an anchor icon? Easy to pop a 'W' in front of it.
