Not a bug XF default smilies are part of Emojione emojis, hence looks duplicate

Hi,

When Emojione emoji's are enabled/selected, the default smilies of XF looks duplicate of it.

Instead of deleting them altogether ourselves, it will be good if there can be a disable smilies catagory wise globally from backend, or may be hide whole catagory from editor.

Please think about it.

Because smilies are editable it’s not feasible for us to detect and remove them.

Besides, doing so would break every single existing smilie ever used.

Although they’re duplicated slightly, the fact that and look identical is a benefit more than anything.

Thanks for the instant response.

How about adding a switch/option to hide the default smiley category from editor. Currently we need to edit each smiley separately to hide them from editor.

Emoji's are the future so i doubt if only a handful of equal looking smilies going to be of much use. Those custom (own) smilies are still useful for forums.
