Description
Sometimes it happens to chat with a contact whose custom emoticons have been added completely unknowingly. The shortcuts for their emoticons often are a single character, like "d", "k", or ".", and more often than not they're HUGE, so your chat becomes almost impossible to follow without proper skills at resolving rebuses.
We need to implement an option which disables all custom emoticons for a contact in chat, and removes the already received ones. This could be a set of radio boxes in the chat window's menu: for 1-on-1 chats, it would control receiving emoticons for that contact - and should remember the setting in the contact's saved info; for group chats, it would control receiving for everyone - but not remembering the setting.
The options could be:
- Allow custom emoticons
- Disable annoying custom emoticons
- Disable all custom emoticons
with "annoying" meaning: emoticons which shortcut is a single character, and emoticons which don't have special characters in the shortcut. Not sure about how to explain this meaning to the user in a menu, though :P
