I agree I definitely should have went more in depth with my (ss) argument. I was slightly rushed. :p but anyways. Yes you could look at the removal of the (ss) emote and say it reduced innuendo, but the fact of the matter is, it really didn't. You know what did? The "crackdown on innuendo", mods being more strict with innuendo/sexual comments. There have been more bans/kicks made recently for this behavior, causing people to not use such humor.

Spam has been going on for years, you simply can't deny that. There has been no spam since those users got banned. So hmmm, maybe the users are the problem! Be more strict with spam, don't give two chances give one. Have harsher punishments. Removing an emote will do nothing against spam.

The colorful argument was made in passing and isn't really a real argument. People can say yellow is too bright a color so change all the emotes to black. Fact of the matter is, it's an opinionated point.

It's been clear that many people enjoy the emote. The emote got /20 supports and 0 opposes/ when voted on. Many people made it clear how exciting it was. People have loved the emote since it's been added, using it to add fun to a sentence or topic. Ever since the spammers have been banned it's been a great emote.
