Okay, back when we introduced emotes for users. The only users who were allowed to have emoticons were mods and admins. Everybody was fine with this position, as well as me. Nowadays, practically anyone can get an emote (as majority of chat users meet the requirements). This isn't about excluding users, this is just that we can't fit that many emotes in chat and too many are being too much to handle. This may sound familiar if you remember the whole Pokemon emotes situation. Mods and admins should get emotes because that's just how user emotes were made originally. Perhaps we should remove user emotes entirely, but all I know is that we need to limit them. Please post your feedback below.
