Everyone,
We didn't say that Sarcasm is forbidden on Similar Worlds. We made it clearer now.
We just want our members to understand that sarcasm can be taken wrong and easily start an unnecessary argument.
These sentences are just reminders to help ensuring a better environment on Similar Worlds.
Have a great day!

@Nuno One moment please. Are we viewing sarcasm as a literary device or are we just going to dismiss that whole idea and reduce it to someone whose sensibilities are offended because they are of either a delicate or un-educated temperament? Let us be absolutely clear and not resort to such random interpretations as befits that fleeting moment of our temporary delusion.

@EugenieLaBorgia The idea is simple -- try to avoid conflicts with other members.

@Nuno I can find sarcasm in virtually every post. Shall I flag them and state my literary reasons for doing so??
notice they said...... "avoid sarcasm". you cant even begin to enforce something that you cant prove. hahahaha

"Thrift, thrift, Horatio! The funeral bak'd meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables." This is sarcasm. Somebody flag it!!

Yes it's absolutely disgraceful. You should be deeply ashamed of yourself and hand yourself into the authorities immediately.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
Sw has an anti sarcasm policy?

Avoid sarcasm? Really? That's such a weird rule (guideline?). Sarcasm isn't even malicious a lot of the time.

@Nuno I guess it's fair enough to educate people on what can be a cause for argument. But I guess some people like arguments, too! 😥
I don't blame you for trying to help people, but arguments and the way people deal with them are such an "organic" thing, it seems hard to guide.
But yeah! I appreciate you guys try to make it a peaceful community.

@bijouxbroussard It may have been removed now but the screengrabs will always exist xD
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
@MrBlueGuy Yeah it was removed, just checked. Was never in the TOS - just in the guidelines to posting.

What is an internet forum without sarcasm?
