I say nay. Emotes are fine as they are. Traditionally you would come to know if someone used emotes extensively, and adjust your strategy accordingly. There has always been the occasional retard that felt the need to over spam just because they couldn't do anything else. They were deal with on a case by case basis. I like that system. Lets keep emotes.
