Toad, would you like to help me define a standard tag to put behind all humorous posts that clearly identify it as a joke? If you feel it's needed, I might suggest something like:
[/JUST KIDDING]
or maybe we can go with more of a postscript approach:
{end-joke}
Of course, there are some other informal methods I've seen on other BBSs, such as:
roflololol kekekekekekekeke ^_____^!!!!!!!!
Any preferences?
