Because they do not belong. And they have nothing to do with The Elder Scrolls AT ALL. This topic was started over 2 emoticons, the MLP ones, based on them having nothing to do with the Elder Scrolls at all. So, by that logic, you are saying that no emote belongs that isn't related to TES. I personally don't think every custom emote needs to be directly related to TES, as people are not talking about TES 24/7, and they are allowed to have general discussions in the chat.

I told Reptile in a message, and I quote "We really should limit the amount of non-Elder Scrolls related emoticons though, since adding many unrelated emotes is going to give people the impression that we'll add just about anything". He suggested more than just 3 in the begining, and those were not added. Only two were. So, if the intention of this topic was only to get rid of these 2 emotes just because they have no relation to TES, then I'm afraid that is going to backfire, as the only emotes that will be left are the basic smiley emotes and TES emotes.

I suggest people come to a compromise if they don't want to lose their favorite non-TES emoticons. Keeping certain non-related TES emotes and removing others is in no way a compromise. This could be as simple as having a policy that states that only 2 non-TES related emotes can be added to the chat emotes list if they are related to other games, television shows, or movies.
