I propose a new unwritten rule

The rule is that if you use sarcasm in a post, you write "BAZINGA" in the post title.

That will help idiots like me see the sarcasm.

I prefer to let idiots be exposed as idiots. Any rule that makes things better for the stupid is inherently a bad rule.

Sometimes people say "oh, I was being sarcastic" when actually they're full of shit and they've been called out on something stupid they said.

I think sticking "/s" or "/sarcasm" at the end should be fine.

There's already a sarcasm punctuation mark: "~".

Everyone knows this.~

I'm trying to imagine a situation where I wouldn't feel like an idiot for using the expression BAZINGA. So far, I'm drawing a blank.
