I found that some people hate them and some people love them.
There's a lot who loves them though. Smiley

Too many can look a bit naive or childish but sometimes they have their place. I would try to avoid them if you can though as you should be able to convey yourself without resorting to using them. Just my opinion.

If you're being hired (read: paid) to perform said task, then I suggest very rarely use them so that to come across as professional as possible at all times.

Dang! I use it all the time. Tongue

I also paid someone as a co-manager and he uses it all the time too.. Still since this is marketing, may be...

Well, if a reputed site hires me as a signature manager  Wink , or while sending PMs to a member here, or while making a post, is the use of emoticons or smileys considered appropriate?

Wanted to know how you guys think. Thanks Smiley

It depends on the circumstances, the subject being discussed and what you're linking the emoticon to. Not everyone likes to see them in serious discussions, but if you don't overuse them you should be okay.
