Yes. Fix it when you see it. Either delete the comment altogether, (since a lot of them are Natter) or change the pothole to Sarcasm Mode. No need to ask for permission.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
While we're at it, should we put a note on the Blatant Lies main page indicating that this is not the page to pothole to for sarcasm?
I guarantee that isn't going to work. No one who potholes to anything actually looks at the page they're potholing to.
I've definitely seen this potholed left and right to the point where it tripped my misuse radar, before even looking at the page or thinking of Sarcasm Mode as an alternative.

It won't hurt to make sure the Blatant Lies page has a "Not to be confused with Sarcasm Mode" note on it, if it doesn't already.

Starting to go through Related now. Everything through A checks out or has been fixed.
It occurs to me that people are misusing the trope to mean Blatant Untruths, and so some of the misuse could go to any trope about things the audience immediately suspects is untrue, not just sarcasm. You'd be surprised how much of the misuse should go to Tempting Fate, for instance ("well, we'll never have to worry about him again"), especially where Homestuck is concerned.
And some of the misuse I'm not sure we have a trope for - what do you call it when, say, Vaarsuvius announces that (s)he will speak "briefly" and then proceeds to launch into one of his/her wordy diatribes?
Yeah, I say zap the potholes. This, Understatement and Incredibly Lame Pun are all becoming a legendary headache.

I seem to see this potholed a lot in the wiki, especially in places where Sarcasm Mode should be used instead, if at all. Has anyone else noticed this?
