It's also getting quite common so see just:
/flame
I can only imagine that's coming from the html-style metadata they are showing in these exactly, but made a lot easier to type for non-hackers. I rather like it myself, even.
- vog 16y agoTo me, that plain "/flame" at the beginning of a line looks more like a pseudo-IRC. Note that IRC is still common among lots of hackers. Other IRC-related statements might be: /me is angry|happy|whatever /join ... any maybe others. Those aren't used very often, though.
- wccrawford 16y agoActually, I see it at the end. Example: I totally love what you did there. /sarcasm At the beginning, I'd definitely agree with you.
- pluies_public 16y agoBut then, you can't tell whether the sarcasm was intended from the very beginning of the message or merely the last sentence/paragraph.
- epochwolf 16y agoI prefer this method in irc </sarcasm>
- adambyrtek 16y agoThis might be related to the fact that some broken web applications blindly remove angle brackets instead of properly escaping them.
