The emote list would of been cleared by now, but since I must adhere to 'community consensus', I'm asking the community for approval. No offense, but this makes you sound sort of condescending.

To the point of the thread, I ask again: why do we need to remove emotes in the first place? There's 0 harm in leaving them there. Unless you think some user is going to stumble onto our emotes page and think, "Wow, this page is a mess. What are the admins doing?".

Also, did you consider that the reason for the lack of activity on the other thread was because users ran out of emotes they wanted removed? If that's the case, removing + individually readding every emote would be more trouble then it's worth because we can just single out useless emotes (per the other thread) much quicker.

At the moment I'm neutral because I just don't see the point in this or why we should do this as opposed to the alternative How much times I should explain why the emotes needs to be removed? Honestly:

"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. "

"because the community and administrators was complaining of too many emotes that was added and never used, just adding to more and more clutter of this list that was rarely touched since the chat's opening in 2011. 'Tis been a long problem."

Users didn't "ran out of emotes they wanted removed". That's like saying users ran out of emotes they want added. It's due the lack of co-operation of this community, and how they completely ignored the fact that thread was created, even when it was highlighted and all.

"If that's the case, removing + individually readding every emote would be more trouble then it's worth because we can just single out useless emotes (per the other thread) much quicker."

And? The community said the exact same thing and yet the community ignored it like nothing happened. That's why this thread we're discussing in right now is created. You said the reason you removed the emotes because other people thought the amount of emotes was a problem, but why is it a problem? I honestly don't understand this. If we're going to remove emotes we don't need, we may as well remove all of them; we don't "need" any of them.

Also, if users were ignoring the thread, they didn't think any emotes needed to change; that's what it seems like to me.
