Hiding Stickers + Emoji option in Comments

1. Since I have been having issues with the emoticons from displaying properly ( as discussed in another topic here ), I have disabled the option in CB Activity/[Stream]/Display; however, I still notice the option is available when someone comments on a post.   Is there another way to disable them that I am unaware of?

I have disabled Emotes and Stickers on all the Streams (Recent Activity, Profile Activity, Profile Fields, CB GroupJive), but they still appear in comments
 

2. I am trying to better understand what the Comments setting is in the "Display" tab of each Stream and all the available choices in the dropdown.   Should the "Stream Option" coincide with the Stream that is being edited?

You turned them off for activity streams not comment streams. Edit your comment streams in CB Activity > Streams > Comments and adjust comment stream settings however you like.

I would suggest just leaving that alone. It tells the activity stream what comment stream to use for activity. In most cases it should just be left as Activity depending on the stream except where an activity streaming as a corresponding comment stream (e.g. Profile Activity, Profile Fields, CB GroupJive, etc..). As for Display and Display Count adjust them however you like as it will change how comments are viewed and how they're viewed is up to you.
