Description
When I want to send message and type ":"(colon) symbol autocomplete of smiles autopastes :kiss_mm: smile in my editor as priority smile. I don't have in any "recent" smiles, I cleared it from config after first autocomplete and it appears as default when I type ":" anyway. Why that happens? Why not any other smile?
Current Behavior
With clean install of Rocket.Chat I type "Hello! :" in message editor and see:

Expected Behavior
I don`t want to see that controversial smiles on top as priority or at all.
Thanks!
