I just figured out that I can LIMIT the total number of smilies per post. Actually, the limit is the total number of images and smilies combined per post.

I currently have the image limit set to 5.

I'm considering allowing smilies, since I can limit the number and we won't have the bouncing, annoying ones and we won't have rows upon stupid rows of them.

Tell me what you want.
 
Personally, I like the smilies, they don't annoy me at all.
So I say, keep them.
 
Then please vote! Thx.
 
I voted! I think smilies are cute but 5 per post is way too much. I would say 2 or 3 is good.
 
I voted 5! I think smilies are a great way to show emotion!
 
I think too many smilies is just plain annoying. 2-3 is okay, I think, for a post. 5 is just way too much.
 
2-3 is ok. Especially if you are trying to convey sarcasm or a joke. It may cut down on some of the hurt feelings by people mininterprting what someone writes.
 
I was thinking that too - it may "soften" the tone of the posts
 
? You have it at 5 because that includes pictures correct?
 
Yes. I currently have the picture limit set to 5. So, if I change number to 3 for smilies, you'll also be limited to attaching 3 images per post--which isn't so bad either. If you want to add more, you can start a new post.
 
Okay. The deed is done. HOWEVER, this does not mean we want to see 3 smilies in every post. In fact, we still expect you to refrain from using them. They are NOT punctuation. We don't expect to see smilies in more than about 10% of any one member's posts. Abuse will result in temporary suspension of posting privileges!
 
Can this be where we test the smilies?
 
Sure, if you want. lol
 
Okay, I'm going to try a few...
:sick:
:crazy:
Wonder if they'll work, I saw it in the smily page.
 
:love: :cool: I like them.
 
:soapbox: I like your smilies pack.
 
Same here! The smilies look really nice
 
I like that when I have to edit out a swear word or rude comment in a post I can replace it with the :censored:

I think Piglet wll be seeing a lot of those in her posts the :censored:ing little potty mouth that she is :mischievo
 
I like this one :important. It stands for important and whenever I say something that I really want the members to listen to I will use that one.
 
What did you say, Ly? ;)
