From my past wikia managing experience, any controversial situation was discussed and then a solution was explicitly stated in the rules to clarify exactly that one situation.
There is a popular principle that pretty much applies in any community worldwide.
Since this situation causes many arguments, I say that it has to be stated explicitly in the rules, even though it is true that an "unwritten law" of using such emojis existed long time ago. Thus all these past mutes are pretty much illegal imo (unless spammed obviously).
It raises another question though, what is allowed and what is not, banning all text emoticons would be too excessive (because simple ones like :D exist), banning just lennys and shrugs doesn't touch other unicode-containing emoticons.
So IMO probably best solution is banning all unicode-incorporating symbol emojis?
