New Icon Requests

Now, I love my Mumsnet, but can I possibly suggest some new little icons to go with the popular Smile Shock and Biscuit 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...

@FellowshipOfFineFellows

Perhaps a peace sign then?

Was joking btw.

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