Those smileys tempt me. I want to use them and disappointingly I can't. But I have created a solution. Text Smileys :D
Where it started: I have a friend who can use emoticons or smileys that sometimes moves and I feel pretty jealous because I love using them in a site that has a forum same as mylot. But I just figured that the usual smileys I use once in a while can replace these emoticons until I have earned enough points.
Some of the cute smileys I know using texts:
^_^ :D ;D :) :P xD xP ^-^ -_- T.T :] T_T :O T^T n_n 'u' ",) (^.^)v :3 =)
It's fun creating smileys with texts, and sometimes it looks cuter than those emoticons and creativity leads to better use of resources. Even emoticon users can use this. These are free, unique and funny. My favorites are ^_^ and :D because it's simple.
What do you think? Aren't these cute? Could you suggest other more kiinds of smileys?

You will be able to add images in responses and comments after 500 too

Really, after 500 we can paste on comments? That's good to hear. Sometimes I have to post some sites for references and I have to type the whole www.site... with lots of numbers and symbols that would take years before I get to finish. Although 500 sounds a long way to go. I also want to attach images in responses and comments because those are also very useful. I wonder what else can be attained when we reach 500. :D

This is a great suggestion, i also felt the urge to substitute mylot codes with these when I was still less than 200 in rank, however, I came across a post that says that wrong spellings which are underlined red are deducted against your activity score and earnings. I didn't know if its true but I avoided it since.

Whoah? so we can't post our own lingo? I hate it we can't express our feeling too well. But if it's deducted your points well better avoided them. thanks for the info. Appreciate it. ^_~

If any of you had read the Guidelines, you will see in the "Dos" that we are asked to post in English and in the "Don'ts" it says:
Post discussions, responses or comments criticizing members for bad/broken English or bad spelling. Everyone is welcome at myLot, we have users from all around the world and they are welcome regardless of their proficiency with the English Language.
Please read the Guidelines in full and encourage others to do so as necessary.

Oh no... does that mean that when I spell out text smileys, they are counted as wrong spellings and it would be deducted on scores and earnings. But I have been using them alot. That doesn't seem fair but the rule does have a point. :(
