Could something be done about replays breaking when people post emojis?
For many tours, such as seasonals or premier leagues, replays are required because they're used to track metagame development. People have started to intentionally post this stuff to hide their (or their teammates) replays.
Here is an example where someone posted an emoji before the battle even starts and the replay crashes:

If it is any help, this is what broke the replay: http://pastebin.com/peQ4h4X4
I mean [taking the database down for a few days] is just way better long term so it would be a worthy "sacrifice" especially since this is spreading and I have missed a few games I was interested in for this crap :(
using emoticons in the nicknames of your pokemon(like this: http://puu.sh/ngI4L/8304fef89f.png) means your replays will be broken (like this:http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-lc-134074). if this isn't fixable for some reason, a warning in the teambuilder would be nice.
gg undi. i take back what i said during the game, i didnt have it 100% if i hit megahorn but nonetheless that crit was lame and the end of this game would have been very interesting to play. see you in playoffs =]won vs ojama gg
