We need a Moderatrix icon cracking her whip!
El Reg commentards offered extra iconography
Last September, in the wake of a rather unpopular redesign of the El Reg comments icons (an outrage subsequently dubbed "Icongate" by shaken Vulture Central staff), we asked you, our beloved readers, to suggest possible new icons, the better for you to express your feelings on our world-class IT news coverage. We then forgot …

Who is this Bill Gates guy
And why does he deserve 2 icons of his own.
I like the 'Big Brother' icon and the 'suck on this' icon
The problem is it's a little like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.
Jacqui is gone now so all this big Brother snooping is going to stop isn't it........
A shouty shouty for me please....
Very tasty, thank you
However, I still think we need to talk about the fixed width thing.
Approved
Now, how about an RSS feed which includes everything but Odds and Sods? You know... *I.T.* News...!
kthxbai!!1
oo, oo, which to choose
I, for one, welcome our new comment icons
All that is missing is
A sinking ship (aka SCO) otherwise, mine is a pint of OTT (Old Tongham Tasty)
Who he ?
<--- Okay, I'll admit my ignorance, but who is that ?
Risky, but...
To pre-empt all the people, who inspite of the warning, will post requestiong an icon:
Yeah, but what about a "yeah but what about an [insert demand] icon?" icon.
Oh the post-modernity
(please don't ban me! - Pint, 'cos I'll buy you one if you don't!)

Olllllllld Skooooool.
That is all.
how long before . .
someone posts enough comments to use ALL of the new ones?
as if . .
hmmm...
'your foster parents are dead'
no they're not, i just rang them on the phone and they said you suck =)
@ The Original Ash
'Now, how about an RSS feed which includes everything but Odds and Sods? You know... *I.T.* News...!'
No, no, no - a much better idea would be an RSS feed which only contained the Odds & Sods. You know... interesting stuff.
who is thos one as well?
<<--- never seen him before... me think
I have nothing to say
But I want to use one of the pretty new icons. So:
I SHALL SHOUT MY OPINIONS LOUDLY TO THE HILLS!
I may even howl at the moon, or go on the BBC's Have Your Say.
I reckon I'm fully qualified for a job on the Daily Mail...
@ Jason Bloomberg
I think it's Jimmy Edwards, 1950's comedian who starred as the headmaster in the BBC series "Whacko!" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whack-O
@Maverick
I think you mean an "Any day with a 'y' in it" icon
@Jason Bloomberg
It's Jimmy Edwards in "Wacko!". But I'm not sure what you would want to use it for. Unless it's the ignorant schooling the ignorant in line with the Dunning-Krueger effect.
Re: hee hee hee....
I so agree, and would be prepared to model for said icon.
As a Goth Dominatrix I have my own corset & whip.
Paris? well us sexy girls have to stick together.

@who he?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Edwards
I can't believe the Register employs people as old as me.
A first class selection, and no mistake
But only one at a time?
Paris because she isn't that fussy
@Jason Bloomberg
Jimmy Edwards (I think).
What I want to know is, where is John Bull for the patriotards?
@Mike Richards
You mean like this? http://www.theregister.co.uk/odds/headlines.atom
No, I work in a Primary School. I need to not get NSFW content, which almost certainly appears on the Odds feed. It's why I've removed the Reg RSS feed from my desktop.
FUTURE SHOCK!
<<<< Did you get this from The Terminator: Future Shock? Has someone else in the vicinity played T:FS, the greatest and most underappreciated game of all time?
Man, that game was awesome. So, so awesome.
wot no 'Daggerin' icon?
could have been useful. Thanks El Reg, aside from this glaring omission. Anway, to the meat of what I'm trying to say: who is the pedantic nazi grammar dude? He looks like a Stalin/Elvis cross to my untrained eye.
Pint as it's gone 11am and it really is time for one.
btw if anyone has a pair of glasto tickets going spare, then the pint icon would also apply!
Bloody result.
Between the pint, the hand grenade, and the flames: I'm covered.
Mission accomplished El Reg.
Jimmy Edwards
@ Richard Cain 1, @ Robert Ramsay : Of course it is ! Many thanks.
Mouse-over pops-up "Pedantic grammar nazi alert". Surely that should be Nazi with a capital "N" ? And isn't "grammer Nazi" a Proper Noun so should it be capital "G" as well ? I'd argue that should be hyphenated too, "Grammar-Nazi", but that may just be my old schooling.
So I get to use Jimmy in anger :-)
And cue the debate on whether Proper Noun is a Proper Noun.
@Hazel Rees
"As a Goth Dominatrix I have my own corset & whip."
You have my attention.
@AC - 09:31
I *think* it's Big Brother from a film version of 1984, I'm not sure. Obviously to protect El Reg from having to change it to the current Home Secretary, as Gordo Brown seems to be changing ministers like undercrackers at the mo'... ;)
@AC 9:31
It looks like the picture of Big Brother from the version of the film made in 1984 with John Hurt and Richard Burton. If so, the actor whose face was used was Bob Flag
Just having a go....
....and since I'm going to watch Terminator Salvation tonight I'll go with this one please, nice!
<TITLE>
I believe this is Big Brother, from the film version of 1984. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, am I the only person to think the Trolling Alert icon is redundant, since Trolls are highly unlikely to use the icon?
Question?
Still haven't got one that's entirely suitable for a follow-up question, the paris hilton one has a question mark on it, but that's not really the same.
Swap it out for the crummy cross-breed terminator/frankenstein one!
