Why does this exist?

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.

I've seen that smiley and thought he was beckoning someone over, as in come here.

Guess I don't have a dirty mind.

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 ...

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

I agree to P.M. ing the mods first though.
