After opening the emoji selector in the post editor, discourse throws users out once they load a page again (like after submitting a post).

It seems it was not the user trying to DDOS discourse, but discourse itself. If there is a way, maybe distinct requests to resources (like emojis) should not be considered? Or all emojis should be combined into a sprite?
