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.

I voted! I think smilies are cute but 5 per post is way too much. I would say 2 or 3 is good.

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!

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.
