Sure it fills some of the coding with the text but the more information, the better! The more information the better, but the more wikitext/source code the more painful it becomes to edit (unless you use the visual editor for some reason, which is even worse). You're not really adding "more" information by changing the words to images, anyway- you're just displaying it in a different way. And even if you did- it would suddenly become rather inconsistent across pages, as only some pages will use them, and others would not.

Once again I will repeat that you do not determine or dictate the style choices here. Like Ace said if we wanted the image icons for ROBUX (and Tickets) to be used then it would be stated as such in our Manual of Style. It is to be followed. If you have questions about how to format pages, review the manual. Nothing else will be changed just because one user decided that it's "stupid".

No one is trying to "hate"- we are simply telling you that what you are doing is not how we wish pages to be formatted. We ask for pages to follow the Manual of Style for consistency. This means so no page of a similar topic to others is for some reason different, when it doesn't need to.

Now, what I assume you're complaining about is the amount of times we've had to remind you of the Manual of Style. This isn't bad, it's not a big deal if you make a mistake about formatting, just learn and keep it in mind for future contributions. Ignorance isn't an excuse and if you don't know or aren't sure about something you should really be asking an admin instead of demanding that your stylistic changes be accepted because you (vs. everyone else) think it looks better.

Besides, this isn't about thankfulness. The Wikia is an encyclopedia you may optionally contribute to- of course we appreciate any helpful contributors, but there are guidelines to help aid in consistency. We have no reason to exclude you from rules or guidelines, give you special awards or listen to your demands because "I've helped out a lot". You are still to follow the policies & guidelines (including the manual of style), like everyone else. You are not entitled to special treatment.

If we ask you politely to stop doing XYZ, we really prefer that you do it because then it helps the wiki as a whole look better. We're going to continue to remind you nicely every time you make an error in terms of formatting, not because we "hate" you, not because we aren't "thankful", but because we are serving in best interests of the wiki and we do not exclude anyone-not even ourselves- from the rules & guidelines.

Any further questions are likely answered by the policies or the style guide, please follow them.
