Honestly. There's a small minority of users who totally overuse them, and it makes their posts almost illegible. If we ban animated user icons, why not ban animated smilies?

They really don't take up any more space...what's the size of a big one? 20k?
Overuse is bad, but they're so darn cute.
BTW, this one is 485 bytes

it's not that they take up too much space, it's that over using them is visually annoying: =D> =D> =D> =D>
I note with satsifaction that there is a limit of 8. Perhaps we can bring this down to 4 or 3 or 2?

Relax, animated smileys are awesome! Now, if you find yourself getting too riled up about all these whipersnappers and their smileys, go watch a nice relaxing episode of Matlock, enjoy some metamucil, pop a geritol, and before you know it...all will be right as rain

Well we could limit how many smilies that are allowed.
I could clean the the smilies but it aren't much gained. Taking Matthews smiley he posted, if I clean it, I can properly make it 50 byte smaller or if lucky 60-70 byte. Not much gaining
The biggest smiley we have got a size around ~2 KB

"We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell them stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I took the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. Give me five bees for a quarter you'd say. Now where were we, oh ya. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones..."

Sometimes it really is annoying. But I say we should't just remove them, just set a smaller limit of then in a post, like, 4.Originally Posted by Someone who overuses
And while we are at it, we should limit multiple exclamation points, because, you know, we need to keep all this emotion and fun under controll
When I was a kid, ascii was good enough for us, and by golly it should be good enough for everyone!!!
Woops, too many exclamation points!!!!
Doh!!!
