SMILEYS count as images? And we have a max of 4? What insanity is this?

Smileys are annoying. Your ability to communicate is improved without them.
Further restrictions will be made in the future. Coming soon:
1. 'lol' will not be regarded as a punctuation mark.
2. The letter combinations 'u' and 'ru' will not be permitted except inside actual words.
3. All acronyms will need to pass a stringent review board composed of several people your mom considers reasonable.
4. Violation of these rules will result in the offender being retroactively purged from the bowels of the internet. (It's actually worse than it sounds.)
All of this is done to improve the forums in general and my sanity in particular. Except for the last rule. That's there because I can be a little mean at times. Enjoy!

Point 4 - what a great turn of phrase.
I actually like smileys, i think they are a useful shorthand for expressing tone and facial expression whilst communicating in a text medium. I think they're especially useful now that we';ve got the merge of nationalities, and cross-cultural misunderstandings can arise more often.

Nice Avatar Raumornie. I approve.

And I wouldn't mind limits on graphical smileys.... if the forum systems didn't use the standard *text* smileys as the codes for the graphic ones.
This forum, for example.... colon+right parenthesis is auto-replaced with
I find emoticons to be quite useful for making sure people can tell what tone you're typing in..... helps keep misunderstandings to a minimum. At least in theory.
On the subject of smileys, I despise the new ones. The previous ones where so much better and less...pixely
