I usually just use this one for "shocked" (  ). It seems fine. |

We'd be happy to put in more smilies, but we need to get them from somewhere. If any of you know a smiley site that states explicitly that other websites can use their smilies, please give us a link.
I should also point out, that we don't want people to abuse the smilies, by either having posts with loads of them, using them rather than a proper response, or using them to indicate violence towards another poster. If any of you have posted on lots of other politics forums, you'll know what I mean, something like:

Of course the age of smileys has made it easier to express emotion. In the old days we used to use language. |

forums have only been around for say 5 or 6 years where mass people have been able to access them. |
