I like that idea.

Great idea! It would give people greater incentive to get involved in the community

Because people don't want hoards of emoticons that are nothing but genitalia and breasts?

Hell, make it a higher requirement then, get a report button for inappropriate emotes, in the worst case maybe have to submit your emotes before getting them accepted by a moderator.

Reminds me of the time people suggested mods to look at every custom wallpaper.

No, that's not very realistic.

Well that ruined that.

What if they create an emoticon to duplicate a rare emoticon they can't purchase/unlock?

Then you could litteraly make them the same as the most exspensive emoticon that exists

Make it a higher requirement then, more secure, something. Almost the same as saying that for a game developer "Then you could litterally make them the same as the most expensive emoticon that exists"

it could work out real well

Honestly sounds awesome, but as mentioned before: people will copy expensive emoticons and they can showcase them as real ones, which will drop the price of the real emoticons by a lot. I suppose this can be prevented by not allowing players to create emoticons that already exist, if every pixel the player has put in is identical to a preexisting emoticon, then let some kind of system check if the player-created emoticon looks anything similar to an already existing emoticon, and if it does, then it will prevent the player from creating it.
And if the emoticon the player has created looks unique, then.. idk.. go for it. Good job.
Obviously the system will fail sometimes and prevent a player from creating a unique emoticon, which is where mods come in. If the system fails then the player should be able to report the issue to a moderator, the mod checks if the system has actually made a mistake and the mod then somehow forces the emoticon into existence..
