Is there any way to limit the number of smileys per post? We have some members going overboard on a regular basis, and I can't help but think the number of smiley images being posted is contributing to the recent challenges we've been facing with HTTP requests flooding or server...
Can anyone recommend a code hack that would limit the number of smileys (or any images) that can be included in a single post? Or, perhaps this might be considered a feature request to add an admin function to the for throttling over-usage of smileys.
Thanks for any feedback!

Thank you for the feedback, I didn't figure there would be a "simple" fix, but I'm all ears if you think of something.
We do implement temporary and permanent bans at the server level, but that doesn't keep members from posting 200+ smileys before they get booted, which in turn affects others loading the same topic. We experienced what resembled a ddos attack recently, and I can't help but think it had something to do with the number of members loading a topic with hundreds of http requests each. [end rant]
Thanks again, back to member education about forum etiquette...
