User blog:Zhaorin/Tone Indicators I Use

These are all of the tone indicators that I personally use, and what they mean when I am using them:


 * /gen - genuine: not sarcastic, passive aggressive, rude, etc.
 * /nm - not mad: not angry or upset at whoever I'm speaking to.
 * /nay - not at you: my message isn't directed at you, probably directed at someone you mentioned, or I'm just speaking to myself.
 * /npa - not passive aggressive: this already falls under /gen, but I'll use it if I'm extra worried I might come across passive aggressive.
 * /ot - off topic: doesn't have anything to do with what you said or is related in a very minor way (eg. something I was reminded of).
 * /pos - positive: indicates that there's a positive connotation, or that my message is meant to convey a positive emotion.
 * /neg - negative: indicates that there's a negative connotation, or that my message is meant to convey a negative emotion.
 * /neu - neutral: indicates that there's a neutral connotation, or that my message is neither positive nor negative.
 * /j - joke: my message is meant to be a joke or funny in some way.
 * /hj - half joking: my message is meant to be a joke, but the contents are partly true.
 * /lh - light hearted: not meant to be overly serious, but my message might still be genuine (it will have /gen if that's the case).
 * /sarc - sarcastic: my message was sarcastic, not genuine or serious (will usually be followed by /j).
 * /srs - serious: my message is meant to be taken seriously, meant to be more stern than /gen.
 * /ref - reference: my message is a reference to something else (usually some form of media or an inside joke).
 * /lu - little upset: whatever I'm responding to has upset me a bit.
