How come they're smiley faces? Shouldn't they be like FROWNING at people swearing? Or better yet: the :] for being angry at people swearing?

Okay, this is only PARTIALLY in jest and partially a serious question.

I think it is meant to remove the word and intention by creating an absurd juxtaposition to the likely attitude of the poster. Nothing takes the "mean" out of an expletive like someone insipidly smiling, I guess.
 

Lesson #1: Just because you CAN do a thing, doesn't mean you SHOULD. :)

if you have a history of not using profanity, then when you do use it, it goes a long way, and I dare say jumps out at the listener or reader. Constant use of it, and it sounds odd to the ear when you DON'T use it.

"Ass" is fine, as is the creator of Elric, Michael Moorcock. Calishite merchants rejoice that they can proclaim their nationality, though Morrus' favorite faux pas about keeping the finances straight, called "Aco:):):):)ing" by some, is still forbidden.
