since its hard to tell if someones being saracastic on the internet, we need a system, people have used things like/sarcasm or [sarcasm/] or something like that, but its annoying to do, so i propose we use a * at the end of a sarcastic sentence. it work great on other boards for jokes and shit like that,
ie.
snowboarding is wayyy cooler than skiing, but not as cool as snowblades*
 
well heres an idea.....

along with that we should just have a thing on the site that explaines the basics of posting, how to post pics, how to bold and underline, how to properly claim, express sarcasm, etc. Also it explains the basics of karma cuz the other one is outdated, explains what the different color names are, and many other things that ppl fuck up and ask questions about. like an NS 101 thing.
 
word, like a "basics or NS"sticky in like site discussion or something. also this is from a smaller forum, but we could have like a read only part of the forum, that new members are auto directed to that has threads on those things, pic posting, ect...

 
This is what I think of this thread

Sometimes i'll make an E-Sarcasm meter on the bottom of a post because some people seem to think everything posted on the internet is cereal.For example:
E-Sarcasm meter rating of 7:|------7---|
 
OMG!!!!@!!!!!!!1 GETTING FLAAMED ON THE INTERWEBZ HURTSZ MY FEELINGZZZ~~~!!! WE NEED A SPECUL CODEZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
to be honest, people need to just learn how to read sarcasm. i don't really mind the flaming, it's just the internet, and we don't really need a code for it. if people don't understand your sarcasm, take the heat and get over it, it's their problem, not yours.
 
Telling someone you're being sarcastic completely ruins the whole idea of it being sarcastic.
 
sure, but if they don't know you're being sarcastic then they might end up thinking you're just retarded.
 
point in case "post youre whips thread" or whatever, k-rob makes himself seem very knowledgeable in there.

saracasm^
 
i would stop being sarcastic on the internet altogether, [sarcasm]but it's the only thing i've got going for me in life[/sarcasm]

see how dumb that looks?
