Overuse of EMOs in chat

Hi!

I have been thinking about something and talked to some of the regular players of the game and who like to spend time talking in chat. The EMOs are being used in an abusive fashion by those who are only looking to spam or troll the chat. They use them in bunches of 3 and chain post them repeatedly. This overloads the chat window with annoying (and to many) completely useless EMOs. Those people eventually get silenced (if a guardian is present) but they manage to bother everyone.

Is there a way to limit the use of these EMOs in chat? Someone suggested limiting the use to 1 in a row. No more of these --> ">">">. If they were limitd to 1, it would also limit the ability to spam/troll.

I do not know if it is possible to apply a 1 emo limit per sentence, but it would help a lot.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Those who agree with my suggestion, feel free to add a commentary or other suggestion!

While I do agree that it is annoying, there are things that take priority over worrying about coding for restricting emoticons; i.e quests for levels over 21, since they've yet to make them, debugging the game thus far, fine tuning Professions and such, etc etc. For the time being, the ignore button and the Guardian's presence will have to suffice.

I DO agree that, eventually, there should be a limitation applied. In no way was I trying to say to the contrary. I just believe that it is not an overly important task and, therefore, will most likely not be dealt with anytime soon.
I totally agree with this as it can get very annoying to serious players we really dont need to see all these faces in front of us when we seriously want to just play our game and enjoy a relaxing few hours in front of the computer but as Lady Sin pointed out they do seem to get out of hand and when it gets spammed so badly we sometimes can miss a few of those emo happy emos
Bing bing bing!! i agree...it gets really annoying besides using emos like :) or :D its easier instead of all the spam...sinny i agree with ya!!
I agree about a limit. Some times emo spammming causes me to want to ">X_x...


I give a thumbs up to this idea. The con Tachi gave is just a simple coding, change the three to a one so it should be easily done. I say go for it!!
Lady Sin,
sorry for saying them things to u i was just joking around. I'm sorry for the way i treated u i got carried away. I'm sorry for every mean thing i said and I'm not a mean person I'm actually a nice person. please forgive me and i don't blame you if u don't cause i wouldn't. i wanted to add u to say sorry. wish you good luck! and i know u hate me so it doesn't matter. i get carried away on the computer when i talk to people. believe me i get annoyed of my self all the time. sometime wish i wasn't born but i know i have good friends. sorry for this long story
