A long emote list never hurt anyone, we're adding back emotes we already use, so that itself is redundant, unneeded, tedious, and ENTIRELY AVOIDABLE. What was the point? So what if we have a few unused emotes? Why do we need to have an unprecedented removal of the emotes by two administrators WITHOUT community consensus? I mean, Dude, you wonder why people call you a dictator. I'm doing this for the benefit of the community, not for myself. So calling me a 'dictator' is not only invalid but an insult on what I'm giving to this community. For many years I've strive to make this wiki the best it can be, but calling me a dictator won't do jack ****.

This wiki needs improvement. I'm here to help.

See, the previous emote list was filled by an astonishing amount of emotes that are in a state where it's not being used. We have emotes added by users who've already left this wiki long time. We have emotes that completely made no sense, and was added to the pleasuring of the user who requested it. If you look at the last edit before the clearing, you can look through every emote and clearly see which ones are used and which ones are not. Now, the emote list had to be refreshed, so we can decide on which emotes we actually need. I've stated this many times prior.

The addition of the emotes by request is the efficient way to go. If we delete emotes one-by-one, we won't be making progress. Everyone would be arguing at each other on each emote. It's not necessary.

The clearing of the emote list doesn't need community approval because it's entirely administrator discretion. The admins add and delete the emotes. It needs no approval by the community, we just do it.

Obviously, you don't know the blatant problem with the emote list, so I'm going to leave my response as is. Everything will continue as said. Request your existing emote here.
