Emoticon Limit variability

It would be nice if the emoticon limit would not be a hard limit but somehow based on the length of the posts.

I think most of us hate posts that exist exclusively or primarily out of smileys.

However, if a user comes up with a longer post of 3000bytes or something and puts in an emoticon or two every paragraph that is absolutely fair use, however he still falls into the hard emoticon limit. I do not want to lift the limit but I'd rather see a feature that allows more than the regular amount of emoticons.

I am not sure of how to implement it

a) maybe allowing unlimited emoticons as long as there are solid lines of text inbetween
b) allowing smileys in ratio to the amount of tex typed.

Would love if this could be considered.
