Turn it into an avatar and assigned to all member that get banned.

When they are allowed to return, then they can change it back.

For that we could use the universe NO symbol - Ø

It would be awesome if it rolled from one side of your post to the other! :laugh:

Maybe a nice cricket chirping emoticon would be good too.

That was suggested before, but I don't think the emoticons are big enough to properly distinguish a cricket. We can't make the tumbleweed move from one side to the other, but we do have a few animated emoticons, so it can roll in place. Anybody want to try and make one?

I didn't make it, but how's this?

I believe that is an InvisionPB or maybe phpBB emoticon. Anandtech won't install emoticons/avatars unless they're from fusetalk, or a 100% unique graphic.

Definitely. For example, yesterday there was so little activity that this emoticon would have been used excessively.

i meant like a puzzled-questioning one, not confused.

here's a question: have emoticons ever been added due to member's requests?

That's the sarcasm emoticon. :D

Yes. That is how we got the :cookie: Although I do remember :beer: being a big surprise, nobody asked for that one since we have a no alcohol rule, but we got it unexpectedly. :)

I think that is adorable. Dont know if it is feasible, but it is really cute.
