Y'know, there's a "no smilies" option for one's posts, though that is usually used to prevent something that shouldn't be a smiley from turning into one. But how hard would it be to have something like that be a setting for readers, as well? While I normally don't find the lil' guys offensive, there are occasionally posters who feel compelled to use one or more after every sentence, and there are times I just want to make it all stop.
