I saw an earlier thread about this issue but don't really understand it. Surely the person who posted code (more or less quoted below) was trying to post code not smileys. Why should it matter if there are people voting in favour of more smileys or less, when the person was trying to post code?

For readers it would be nice to read code instead of reading mixtures of partial code and smileys, where part of the code has been lost.
