Why in past?

, there is something for everybody within the osu! community.
This needs to be closed "("

imo, repeating the ) in "Whether you end up being a hardcore player or a well-respected beatmap creator (or some place in-between :)," will look like ":))" destroying the smile.. ehe D=

And "Mod" because it's the shortcut for Moderation.. so.... Beatmap Moderation Team.. I .. think (lol). bb! XD

There's a grammar mistake (or typo) in the message that appears when you play an approved but not ranked beatmap, too.

Maybe we could use an actual smiley (as in the gif smiley which when you type :) it becomes auto parsed).

He means it shouldn't be "Mod", it should be "Approval".

It doesn't need to be closed - the smiley closes it. This is my style and I don't plan on changing it.

) looks stupid.

Either

1) Don't put emotes inside parenthesis

or

2) Put a space between the emote and the parenthesis

Problem solved.

(yay

)

Emoticons are pretty unprofessional in the first place, but it's not really a big deal either way.

That may be the single dumbest thing I have ever seen you say...

throw a graphic smiley on the front page, (

) actually looks good and would sidestep the )) problem entirely.

Oh dear, emote-paren-closing war.

(This is totally exceptable, especially in the UNIX world :)
