Tone Markers

Because I struggle with reading tone and intent, I find tone markers to be a helpful aid in conversation, and make frequent use of a fixed set of them. I don't demand that everyone use them, but I appreciate anyone who does!

List of tone markers I use:
/j (joking): I am trying to make a joke (general).
/s (sarcasm): I am making an untrue statement to highlight the opposite for emphatic or humorous effect.
/srs (serious): I am not trying to make a joke (general). Though, this does not mean I am angry.
/genq (genuine question): I am asking a question in earnest, not as a joke or insult.
/p (platonic): I am not making non-platonic advances towards you. I try to avoid needing to use this.
others: If I find it necessary to indicate something else, I often spell it out: e.g. "/not mad".

These tone markers sit at the end of a message to make the tone and intent of the speaker explicit. Minimally, they indicate that the speaker believes there may be a chance of misinterpretation even if the marker used is not known to the reader. Please do not misuse them! It is not funny to indicate something is "/srs" when it is not, as it only creates confusion and distrust.
