/s is an excellent modifier for sarcasm. There's no tone in text and bold/italic can only do so much. And with how many absolute crackpots are posting all over the internet, I'd prefer to be sure to not lump in a jokester with the absolute nutjobs.
I lot of use of /s just indicates that there are a lot of jaded people making snide comments. We haven't gotten to that stage yet.
