Can we add another rating next to Dork?

I love cars and talking about cars and bench racing and hypothesizing about cars and arguing the merits of cars. I love the board members here. I like to make tounge-in-cheek comments and bating questions for lively discussions. I like to make funny posts and weird posts about the awesome 2014 Kia Rondo.

I hate pissing people off or insulting anyone. I hate people thinking that I am flaming or trolling. I seriously hate no one and don't want to hurt anyones feelings. I hate people taking things I say too seriously. I hate misunderstandings. If you knew me, you'd know I am always in a good mood and trying to make people laugh and cracking jokes. Sometimes sarcastically.

So I want a second rating, something like "Joker" that would let everyone know not to read too much into anything I post and just to have fun. This board is my escape from stress...I don't want to get mixed in with the flamers and trolls!

Interior of the 2014 Kia Rondo BTW:

Which is still not available in the US.

I can make your title Joker, but then I have to make your sig say, "Why so serious?"

I'm ok with people thinking I'm an shiny happy person.

You know you could put something like that in your signature line...

(A common practice on Slashdot where there is a combination of very dry sarcasm and humorless men with mod points)

I've always wanted a sarcasm emoticon. A couple others would be nice as well...

How bout a crooked smiley face flipping the bird.

YOU THINK THIS IS A berkeleyING GAME?

I have long deplored the woeful lack of suitable emoticons on this board.

In reply to pinchvalve:

Or, you could choose your words more carefully, or add a phrase like "I'm just kidding here", or make judicious use of the emoticons that are available.

And I like the idea of adding a few facey-type variants.

Awesome kitty meme!

Trying to bait people is generally considered to be trolling, so maybe do a little less of that.

Nsperlo needs a title that says limbercock expert

I don't know him well enough to go there

I am a shiny happy person so berkeley off. lol

just do what i do online: assume that everyone is a shiny happy person that is both dead serious and joking at the same time, and that they don't know what they are talking about if they happen to disagree with you in the slightest way on even the most unimportant issues.

then assume that everyone else thinks the same things about you.

this makes teh internets much more entertaining and fulfilling..

You would say that because BMW drivers are asshats...oh wait. I see what you are saying. DON'T do that. Right. OK

Is dick dork redundant? Either way I'll take that.
