Why is there an emoticon that does this?

Now maybe I am being a bit of a bore, but surely this contradicts forum rules if you have an emoticon on the forum which shows a smiley face sticking it's middle fingers up at people. I know it isn't showing any swear words, but I think children realise this is just as offensive as a swear word, and it isn't really sending the right message out is it?

I noticed it when I was reading back to a past thread.
 
The emotions are loaded as a set not individually,so its just one of this set we cant take one out .
 
I've seen that smiley and thought he was beckoning someone over, as in come here.

Guess I don't have a dirty mind.:D
 
Blazey if you thought the emoticon was offensive....why did you post this thread?...you could've PM'd Mick and he would have given you the explanation you required, without posting something you consider contravenes the guidelines of the forum.

There again Margaret, suppose anyone can pull up the emoticon list, and some more in there that are a little rude.

Think quite cute really, but I have backed off using them because of the meaning.

But if you thought it was offensive you wouldn't raise a thread about it. Best course of action would be as Margaret says PM one of the mods. Now the younger members are going to go searching whereas before they were unaware of its existence

Think the young ones will always look at emoticons available, more than us adult members ...:D

Perhaps, to avoid criticism would have been best in the over 18's.

I agree to P.M. ing the mods first though.
 
Well I have to say I've never seen that smiley before, thanks blazey for bringing it to my attention, I certainly know when I'll use it in the future:D
 
They come in different sizes on the web, try this one if you really want to feel upset!

I posted it in this section because it is the part of the forum for questions, help and feedback.

Obviously it IS allowed otherwise it would have been mentioned before, so I was just curious.

I don't think it's fair to blame me if minors go looking through the emoticons now either, they're there to be browsed through and used anyway. I just thought it was a bit odd to allow them but not allow actual swearing...
