Can we have a [star] emoticon, pretty please?

MNHQ have asked me to start a thread here in Site to see how much support there is for a Star.

The original request is here.

Hundreds of Mumsnetters have worked together since the beginning of the year to produce woolly blankets for Rinders, Blondes and a blanket and quilt for Edgar. Our current project is here: 3 blankets for the children of Magic8
Since beginning these projects, we have used [stars] to thank all contributers and supporters. We would really like to be able to give a proper Star to those wonderful people who have given their time, donated, or created in order to provide what comfort we could to those families who have lost their loved ones.

If you would like to support us, please post below.

Many thanks.

Perhaps it could be an unlisted emoticon, like Bear is - then people will be less aware of its existence, so it is unlikely to be used maliciously?

But yes please, a star would be good :)

We need a star.

We can always count on you, Cakey.

Perhaps we should knit and crochet some placards.

Cheers, BeerTricks.

I'm chuckling at using stars for nefarious purposes Grin

definately a Star :)

yes please for a Star.

I suspect that some will consider it a step too close to sparkly tickers...

So a plain gold simple little star would suffice.

I know what you're saying, BeerTricks. On a site this size, I guess that will alawys be an issue.

Bit of a shame for it to be the only reason we don't have one though.

You've got my support knotty

Agree with Beer - lovely idea but is there another way of awarding it other than via an emoticon - maybe a request into MNHQ from X number of people.
