Yes, the " " smiley is a piss-take, crying with laughter smiley, so doesn't suit threads about people dying or tragic events.....

We did used t have a second crying smiley, that was : cry2 : but that smiley has changed and now looks like this - .... Which is daft as it has nothing to do with crying, and is more of a "hopping mad" kinda smiley......
