It doesn't make sense.

So the way I see the explanation to Storm Riders thread just below is that this has been raised in the BETA thread but the emoticons will not be changed. As it is part of the BETA version, this issue should be raised in the BETA thread. But this would clog up that thread and probably get deleted as it would not be viewed as constructive feedback. Therefore, there is to be no further discussion about it.

Well sorry, we're only the ones using this place. And besides, what's wrong with letting us have our little rant and discussion about it? I am confussed. (insert old confused emoticon here)

During the beta, we are trying to keep this category very neat and tidy as to attend to legitmate product issues. This is not a category to rant about people wanting it back, its a waste of space as we aren't changing the smilies. Hopefully that answers your questions.

In order for us to handle the beta this is the way it has to be.
