Is it because I tend to overdose on them?
Rationing of smilies
Why is there now a limit on the smilies? Is it because I tend to overdose on them?

Not one particular person, just several of ye that use them too much. Smilies were invented to express emotion (hence emoticons), not type or pop in just for the sake of it.
Not the only guilty one then, that's alright.
its a shame alright. I thought having more than 3 was fantastic.
Another big loss is not being able to write in ultra big writing. There was nothing as satisfying as writing in the largest font when a bad result came along or something else that was equally annoying
Here I would postulate that in some cases..particularly mine..there are two/three possible emotions from my sentences...so if I have three/four sentences I cannot portray clearly the subtlety of the message at some times..some people will take it one way and others another..the smilies would be there to clarify the issue.
However I'm on a board elsewhere that completely bans avatars, smilies and signatures, so I have not that big a problem adjusting to it anyway.

it's more likely to be 5-1.
I actually agree with that

Like everything else on Foot.ie, it's based on feedback. If enough people complain, I'll change it back. As long as they're not serial-smilie-users.
First time for everything, sligoman eh?..
A perfect example would be if I am commenting on a match and I have used three smilies in a long post, if I then say something like "I really hate for example Sligo because of this and that and the other
It means something completely different to "I really hate Sligo because of this that and the other..." with out the smiley(ies) In the case above, I think it is necessary to have more than one smiley because the tongue out indicates something different to the wink.
i.e. there is a case for more than one smiley per sentence and if you have an essay style post rather than a one line post, there is automatically going to be places where there'll be needless misunderstandings and off topic explanations because you couldn't clarify your emotion due to a lack of smileys. (here I would put a cool smiley to indicate I'm not annoyed, just wondering about it, but I can't.)
Furthermore and lastly...a further inconvenience is having to remove smileies from other posts if you're quoting them in order to have three if you so wish - something you may only realise once you've pressed submit.

I dont know some of you are "serial-smilie-users", like when you quote a post and you cant put in a smilie because they're are too many. Maybe a trial period, some of you people need to cool it with the smilies.1. sligoman,
