Some guy who dresses like a frog who named himself after a fruit in Florida when he really lives in California wanted me to suggest the option to disable emoticons for PMs and GMs. I actually kinda agree with this idea. I know it isn't much of a big deal to add in a space between the letters so it doesn't animate, but sometimes they tend to get in the way of things. I can already imagine how stupid it must've felt for all of those couples PMing each other < 33333333 just so it doesn't show up with a single heart with a bunch of 3's following. (Speaking of which, when you type it with a space like this < 3 it kinda looks like there's a hole in your heart. Do you really want to poke holes in our hearts all the time?)*insert more stuff to ramble on about because this wasn't my idea it was Flo's* You get the point.

TL;DR an option to disable emotes would be lovely  

I've always wanted this. I hate a lot of the emoticons. And the next time you see that frog, tell him Tyler's French Restaurant is awaiting his return...  

Yes please. It's not a giant problem but emoticons in PM's definitely annoy me.  

Or change emoticons to the emoji keyboard  

just stick a backslash (\) between your ")"'s it doesnt print.  

It would be cool to see options like this added to the game. As far as the UI is concerned, the game should be as customizable as possible.  

yes pls
