Errrmm...
That's a bit strange isn't it.
I thought the "no mods" policy was about the user interface.
With custom emoticons you don't alter the existing ones, you add others.
Custom emoticons are also very similar to winks in that regards.
And winks and the like are allowed... so why not custom emoticons???
Or am i missing something?

CookieRevised, the emoticons (static emoticons) are displayed within the Skype window itself and Messenger Plus! is not allowed to touch that window, whereas Animated Winks and sounds are displayed/heard externally (in a separate window).   Adding new emoticons still would mean displaying them in the actual Skype window and not in an external, Messenger Plus! window.   So the custom emoticons would still be connected to the Skype user interface.

Ah, makes sense....

EDIT: But then it also means, in regards to custom sounds, you'll not be able to show "Play [xxxxxxxxx]" etc anymore like it was done in Plus! for WLM? Or doing anything else for that matter which needs text alterations, nor future scripting (in/outgoing text manipulation), etc. ?

This is one of the main features I loved about MSN plus. My friend and I were stoked to find that messenger plus was also available for skype. Please allow uploads of custom emotisounds!
