No not really if you do something like make good threads, possess knowledge on a particular subject or make sigs.
I get undermined daily and i had an alright post count.

Well I possess knowledge on a particular subject, I try to make good threads and personally have no skill or interest in makings sigs, hats off to those who do though. However, I have on occasion been jipped off by those users who've been here longer and posted more.

No wonder most of you have so many posts, most of them are probably some smug in jokey face.
Get a life. Smilies are great.

I agree for the most part.
If you can't get the point across without using emoticons, don't try anyway.
At least in serious debate threads. In the OTF I don't so much care.

Exactly. Though, to be honest I really don't see the point in OTF being flooded with them, I just can't see what their use or appeal is.

Here's a test:
Eloquently express the following emoticons with text keeping to length to something that a person might bother reading:
😠
😛
🙂
😮
😱
😖hifty:
droolio
blushing

I prefer Spanish my self. English is monotone, blan and not exactly the nicest sounding language in the world.
Every single day, when I speak I'm 'illiterate" [by your definition of the word] about 50% percent of the time.

True.
Look:
MY heart aches 🙁 , and a drowsy numbness😖leep: pains
My sense , as though of hemlock I had drunk😮💨,
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk 😘 :
'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot 😠 ,
But being too happy in thine happiness,
That thou, light-wingèd Dryad of the trees😇 ,
In some melodious plot
Of beechen green, and shadows numberless,
Singest of summer in full-throated ease😗.
What would we ever do?
