Welcome to the "Censor Emote" petition! I am Ran, and I have another approach to the cursing on Gaia.
I have created something that may be helpful, or at least a little humorous. It is called the "Censor Emote," and here is what it looks like:

(People have suggested that it would look neat with a black bar over its mouth or a pound sign # or asterisks ***)
I am sure that people will look at this thread all inquisitively and say "How is that smily with a censor over its mouth going to stop us from cussing, Ran?!" Stopping cursing on Gaia is NOT the purpose of this petition at all. Gaia is a PG-13 site and so it's allowed, and I really don't mind anymore. I just don't support it much. This new emoticon allows people who don't feel like using actual swear words to cuss... it's a substitute for swearing. And, who knows. Maybe Gaia would be a little cleaner if this emote were to come out.
I am going to put a place where it shows signatures in the post after next, but what I am really looking for is your input on the Censor Emote. If you do wish to sign this petition, please say so in your post... like...
"blabla biggrin *signs*"
Because if you say like "I like this idea," I don't know if you like it enough to sign.
If you do NOT like this idea... please be polite about it. I value your opinion, but if you totally diss it, then... well... that's not too cool. Yeaah.
AND PLEASE NOTE! I do not wish to have PMs about this sweatdrop if you have something to say, please post it... heart 3nodding
One more thing! A few users have said to me, "What's the difference between your emote and the scream or stressed emotes?" Well, to answer your question, the scream and stressed emoticons display agitation, yes, but not cussing. :3
On to the next post!
