What is this, seriously? Trying to get a license to be as silly as you want?
We have silly topics, and serious ones. It's easy to figure out which ones are which. We can crack a joke, most of us are good humored, but derail a post with fluff and that gets annoying.
I don't hate all emoticons, just when they are overused.
In the end, it's common sense. Be yourself. I don't think it ultimately affects the forum unless you're breaking the rules. If it's about gaining popularity? Well, it's kinda easy to tell and usually gets annoying.
