Is there a way to tweak the maximum image per post code to be smilie specific?

That way there can’t be posts with 13 smilies all over the place?

I think we should limit turtle's sig to just a couple of turtles in a couple different colors... Five and a gazillion colors is pretty excessive.

I was wondering why you would bring this up, considering this has been happening for years...

...then I noticed one of your favorite people did this in Feedback.

yep

This isn’t about him, other people have been doing it, not a lot; but when someone does do it, kinda shows the maturity level of that poster, and disrupts the thread, / causes less posts per page.

Since you missed it, my point is its a little disingenuous for you to bring it up now.

No, posts-per-page is a fixed number, not related to the length/size/weight of individual posts.

A smiley is an image. They would have to limit the number of images per post, which would be lame.

Uhm, there *IS* a limit of images per post.
