Ace stop derailing the thread please.
I don't mean to be offensive but what has this issue you have with a certain user and smiley got to do with Karma.

I don't mean to be offensive either MB but you really don't need to comment on it either...

As far as I'm concerned it's all done and dusted as per dylan's & my post below...

The reason for this last post was simply requesting more smilies that can be included in a post to help describe the 'Feeling' of a post. I don't particularly like the Karma/Applaud thing either. Depending on how one constructs a post dictates how it's read...the smilies can add to the feeling....A picture paints a thousand words and all that..
