NS needs a sarcasm meter...itd be so helpful. ive seen so many sarcastic posts but alot of people dont realize how sarcastic it is and the flip out. could have like a little box or something somewhere in your post if you choose to use the sarcasm scale for your post. i think itd be really helpful in getting feeling/meaning across better and prevent those crazy people that cant understand sarcasm from flipping out

i can understand ur reasoning... but thats also relaly beat to be type a response and then click 1-10 on how sarcastic ur post was. I think as you are on ns for a longer period of time, you learn to recognize the sarcasm. a 'meter' is not needed.

it shouldnt be need but i tink it would be good. theres been a few threads lately such as "corks are impossible" where the sarcasm is way off the scale but crazy retarded kids that cant recognize sarcasm flip out and are like "I KNOW THIS REALLY GOOD KID THAT CAN DO THEM EVERYTIME SO EASILY ON A TRAMPOLINE. THEY ARE POSSIBLE!!" but i think a scale that you can select to use for a post would be good. so its not there everytime. just only when you need it. maybe like the scale used to rate pictures can be right to the side of the message box that you type in and if you want to use it go ahead.

dont forget that most of newschoolers members are medicating on ganja reguraly and thinking things through poses a very difficult task. I have come to realize that bristolrider is genious so i would have to agree with him.

Sarcasm should be something that entertains the clever and bewilders the unintelligent. Also, with your idea people would sarcastically use the sarcasm meter to increase their sarcasm.

Some sites have it so you can change the colour of the font...and a certain colour of font is used for sarcasm.

Not a bad idea, but one of the best parts of sarcasm is the entertainment provided by people who don't get it. And whoever said that the sarcasm meter would end up being used sarcastically: You are a genius.

It doesn't have to be a contraction, and thats grammatical, not spelling anyway. You would be a lot funnier if you weren't stupid.

I'm going to agree with Spellchecker on this one. It just sounds stupid when you write more than you need to.
