Chatterbox: Down to Earth

CALLING ALL

CALLING ALL CHATTERBOXERS

 

Lately it seems there have been a lot of heated debates posts and anti-heated debates posts. This has lead to lots of arguments (on both types of threads) and a lot of comments wasted trying to calm people down. It is my personal opinion that we should come up with a universal Chatterbox symbol that means calm down. Like for instance, if I ranted at someone for several paragraphs, you guys would do (symbol here): Allison..... or something along those lines. This way we can peacefully tone down a certain argument or something without ranting about someone's rant. Am I making sense to anyone but myself? Sorry if I'm not, I do that sometimes. But I think this idea could save a whole lot of trouble on everyone's part. Agree? No? Maybe? What does everybuggy think? (And if you have suggestions for a symbol, that would be lovely, too; just make sure it's something all computers can do.)

back to the Down to Earth

Hmmm, what about this as a symbol: !~i........?

Random idea, but its easy to remember, at least...

!~i   !~i   !~i

It's an "i" a lowercase "i"  So is the sign "!~i"?

Here's the symbol: ◘ Hold down alt and press 8 over on the right of your keyboard. (Sorry for bragging, but I OWN at computers and the like. I even hack my video games. xD)

If you want an upside-down exclamation point, it's option + 1 ---> ¡. I know! The eternity symbol might work! It's option + 5 ---> ∞.

Good suggestions, Pirocks, but I just don't think we should use any letters because it would be difficult to remember. I like */* and !~i Unless anyone has any better suggestions, we should probably vote and decide quickly. Oh, and if you can please try to let all Chatterboxers know about this thread? Thanks!

How 'bout ~!!!~?  Then it doesn't have to have letters and it could still be, umm, rated.  Like ~!~ could be for a bit heated/offensive, ~!!~ could mean it's heated/offensive, and ~!!!~ could mean way too heated/offensive, and to please stop.  What say y'all?  Oh, and I figured out how to do those funky symbols now!!!  Cool!!! 

Q+alt =œ
W+alt=∑
E+alt=´
R+alt=®
T+alt=†
Y+alt=¥
U+alt=¨
I+alt=ˆ
O+alt=ø
P+alt=π
--etc.!!!!  Now I can do "TNÖ"!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):D:):D
And
¡™£¢∞§¶•ªº is *a number* +alt!!!  Yeah!!
