Wrong, it has to be done before the message is sent and if >allowed smilies are found prevent form submission.

The alternative then is to set a hard limit on the number of smilies that a person may use inside a message. Now we go back to my original argument, why not simply TELL people that they should not use more then X smilies and remove ability to use smilies who blantantly violate this rule?

It'll be a much cleaner solution, and if once in a blue moon you need to go over the limit, you can...
