Okay,so recently we've had a lot of people who use this emote in bad taste and give it a bad reputation. I have previously discussed this with others and they say they don't like it. They say it's abused and it's rude.

I agree. I'm not being one-sided here. I planned to get all the admins/mods to discuss this,but my sleep pattern has changed drastically so I can't have those kind of discussions anymore.

So you may be thinking "Well,why get rid of the face palm emote?"

Because people tend to use it to disregard other people's actions instead of their own.

The rude way:

User 1: I LOVE TAWOG! IT'S MY FAVOURITE SHOW!

User 2: *Insers the facepalm emote*

The proper way:

"OH CRAP I JUST SOLD MY ENTIRE GAME COLLECTION AND NOW I WANT IT BACK!



What I'm getting at,is that people tend to use it more to completely disregard another person's views on things,instead of coming up with a well thought of and structured opinion based on the matter.
