Following @SlugMug's suggestion, could we please have a sarcasm font? I think most sites just use a monospaced font like Courier New, but a Comic Sans lookalike would also work.

Of course, one problem is those who post something, get BS called on it, and then claim they were just joking or being sarcastic, and double-down by saying nobody got their joke. Weak.

It appears that we already have the ability to display a font upside-down but not the software to make it happen.

Hoʍǝʌǝɹ' soɟʇʍɐɹǝ ʇools lᴉʞǝ ʇɥᴉs sǝǝɯ ʇo ʍoɹʞ' though I find it rather annoying.

This option is easier to read.

Thus the utility of having a method to show at the time of posting that it was meant as a joke.

OK, that'll work in a pinch, but was hoping for something a bit more subtle.

Subtlety often needs to be a cinderblock dropped from the fourth floor.

Here's a handy reference that'll clear your issue right up:

We do have a number of fonts including New Times Roman, Book Antiquia, and Courier New but how would we get the message out that it should only be used for sarcastic remarks? I think I remember where more fonts can be added but they may not display on the font menu.

Thinking more about this, I have written special BB-code routines that format text, pullquote for example:

[PULLQUOTE]Enter your sarcastic comment.[/PULLQUOTE]
Automatically produces:

---

“ Enter your sarcastic comment. ”

---

We could use text something like this?
[SARCASIM]Enter your sarcastic comment.[/SARCASIM]
Automatically produces:
[SARCASIM]Enter your sarcastic comment.[/SARCASIM]

Note that "[SARCASIM]" and "[/SARCASIM]" are automatically added along with font, size, and color changes. I haven't seen a good emoji that would be unambiguous, but would like to add one.

Add it to the format shortcut menu. Here's the limited set of formatting choices from windycitygridiron.com (Go Bears! That is, go for higher draft picks and we'll get back to you next year.)

I don't mind your idea of bracketing it with an appropriate image if we can't do a font. But I think I like the wink better.
