IMO, if you can't be confident in your sarcasm/not care if people take you seriously then you shouldn't be sarcastic online.

If you care about getting modded you need one. It doesn't matter how clearly sarcastic it is, they'll delete it if they can.

You have to read the room and engage them on a level suitable for the overall IQ.

If CE has an issue with the dense, obtuse, disingenuous, oblivious, etc... effecting it's overall IQ, it might be necessary.

Sorry if the exceptions end up feeling like they're just being condescending, lol. The trust is low.

Some of y'all are super obtuse and can't tell the most obvious sarcasm so in some cases it's indeed necessary.
