I would know. I used to do it before I was 13 and so do a few other kids I know. Wikis are mainly for people to learn infornmation and most of the people who use the wiki are people who learn from it, not people who contirbute to it. Point being, even if that picture won't scare the kids, it's still completely stupid and meaningless. I don't even know why half these emoticons exist. I'm looking through them and just laughing my head off at how ridiculous and stupid they are and wonder why anyone would ever need to use them for anything. Ok, but what does it matter if those kids stumble upon that one particular emote anyway? We're trying to purge the emoticons as a whole, and all you're bringing to the table is something that isn't even remotely a big deal. You've been informed numerous times that not only are children not allowed on the wiki, but that it would be difficult to find that image without digging around. You're welcome to discuss what emotes should be deleted, but if all you are going to do is "debate" on such a trite subject, you're better off not saying anything at all. I'm not contunuing to debate about kids seeing this at all. Even if kids don't come across that image, that image is still completely meaningless and has no point in existing. All I'm saying is that we should delete all of the emotions excapt for the facial expressions and the Gumball characters. Everything else is completely pointless. Like, emoticons of smiley faces and angry faces will be used in conversations and so will pictures of Gumball and Darwin but when are we going to use clip art of penguins and snakes or characters from completely unrelatred media such as Kululu and Mario in these conversations? Do I need to say more? Okay, I think this should be dropped now. The thread is getting seriously derailed and is moving nowhere fast.

A revision from my last reply, I have found out that Emoticons can indeed ping, so I guess there's something for that. And it probably wouldn't be an issue if some were removed I think. Because as I've said about the others, I hardly ever see them get used.
