You've probably noticed by now a new "sarcasm" checkbox in the comment form. This is a result of some discussion the four of us had at the latest Sift Up regarding how difficult it is to discern sarcasm in typewritten language and how easily that can lead to unnecessary misunderstandings and arguments.

To assist with this, you can now mark your comment as sarcasm. This will cause your comment to be displayed with a subtle visual hint that it should not necessarily be taken to be on the level.

We think this is a unique and fun feature that should add (at least in a little way) to community discussions and hope you agree.
