Would increase the quality of the servers 2000% imo.
yes cause lenny face is so lame since this isnt lenny community and after a time it gets annoying
If you want an actual reason spend an hour or two on the hightower servers - especially on the weekends when the bindspammers come out to play
He's not referring to actual chatspam(which of course would be gagable) but rather just random lenny faces all over the chat by like 5 different people. Nothing we can do against that at this point in time.Then report them for spamming, I love my little lenny bind and i'd hate to lose it due to people not being dealt with correctly (no disrespect meant towards hightower admins or likewise)
I have a happy and sad unicode that I like, since smilies are useful. But when people spam the shit out of random lenny faces or unicode binds that don't even respond to anything or mean anything, yes, it pisses me off. I often client mute people on other servers if they do.
Check a few pages into this to see what I mean:

I'm all for a lenny filter and the surrounded spammed faces.
The link shows a lot of different spammed binds, why so prejudice towards Lenny?
Agreed, but it feels like you're (not you personally) dis-allowing one spam but letting others go through.Lenny has attained meme status and therefore is far more common than those. That is merely a small section of the chat and the widespread spam of Lenny faces is way worse than what is displayed there.

In the end, I'm just a normal player and my vote counts for nil, but I see Lenny face as a little harmless banter. Though people do get annoyed, I reckon a majority of people will get more annoyed if it gets disabled. Additionally, I haven't seen many Lenny's on the servers I play on (Mario Kart, Freak Fortress, recently Hightower and Deathrun) but thats just one jar of yeast's personal opinion on the matter.
The way I see it, the mere fact that one macro, so to speak, on its own, appears in the chats at such a high intensity and frequency is enough to classify it as spam. I dislike all forms of unicode personally, but most other forms when compared to Lenny are far less frequently used.
I think Hightower is the place I see the most of Lenny personally, but that could be built-up-Lenny-viewing from 30 days of played time on the server and no means to vent my frustrations about the damn meme.
