Come on buddy... sometimes we need a little humor to face difficult realities Grin

I read almost all of your replies and was just laughing. Your response was a combination of business and pleasure. Adding jokes to serious responses makes reading and learning pleasurable. I have seen world leaders laugh while deliberating on important global issues. As much as we agree that this forum is for serious discussions but it will also be nice to have members like @PytagoraZ to make us laugh even in the face of bitcoin and other discussion.

Having many posts deleted is not a good statistic for your reputation. I want to suggest that you pay more attention to your post to avoid these deletions.

You could as well see moderators having to deleting of your post as a part of the joke, the other end that complements it.

The forum has been designed to accommodate just anything and when something isn’t in its best place, you could expect a move or have it deleted.

On the whole, I think it depends on the type or should I say level of humor you brought in on your post. As much as you intend to divert attention, you’ve got to do that very lightly not to shadow the idea you’re replying to. It makes the jokes the focus or point of discussion and that would count for off topic and consequently, you could expect it to be deleted.

You could have a free hand in the off topic board with almost zero moderation.

I don't know how many times I have to repeat the same answer. This is not about off-topic humor but about conveying opinions in a more humanistic with an added sense of humor. Come on, you can read the previous discussion before commenting so you don't have to repeat what has been discussed above.

I have a few cups of coffee, maybe you'd like to try them? so that we can discuss in a relaxed manner and don't need to be too serious in order to achieve the posting target

I've been active on dozens of various forums in the 20+ years and I have yet to see a forum with such a lenient moderation as its here. As others told you, its perfectly fine if you make a joke on top of being ontopic, but a completely different thing if you derail the conversation by being totally offtopic and only sharing a joke (and even that often won't be a problem, depending mainly on board where you did that and who is reading your posts).

Well, if there is serious discussion going on then you should not add humor it directly without first sharing your opinion about the issue that's going on in the discussion. Most of the times users just try to add humor to discussions which are highly important ones and the jokes they try to add in those posts are just off-topic and has nothing to do with the real discussion that's going on in that thread.

I don't think that all discussions should be serious but when a discussion that's pointing an important issue then in such discussions adding humor doesn't make sense and in that case other members might consider such humor as spam and something out of the discussion. It's someone's own common sense to notice the seriousness of a discussion, and when a discussion is very serious then I think adding humor into it won't be helpful at all.

To discuss for fun, you go to the off-topic board as advised. We are here for serious business impacting ourselves with the knowledge of crypto not to have joke gestures to an important discussion.

Yes I have fun discussing, why do you always talk about off topic? Do you think discussions can't be conveyed with a little humor? Yes, I know people have different tastes in humor, I hope you're not stiff like a robot, because that's definitely not fun.

OK let's talk seriously.

In dialectics and discourse, the use of terms, sarcasm, humor and cynicism are advanced levels of dialogue. In some discourses, the use of this term will make the interlocutor confused and it will be easier to find weaknesses in the argument. Referring to Hegel's conception theory that every action will cause a reaction, so this term is effectively used to provoke excessive reactions in opponents of discussion.

Moreover, when talking about interpretation theory techniques, it will be even more complicated, especially when using hermeneutics.

But you don't need to worry, because I'm also confused about what I'm actually talking about Grin

Discussions had to be serious since we are here to share ideas about crypto or give answers or explanations to someone who might need it to get clarification about something or get proper knowledge about crypto.

Don't think that the forum members here are giving out advice or asking questions for jokes. They all know that whatever is being posted or answered, will be somewhat beneficial to someone else who is to read and understand it.

Unfortunately it was too quiet there and no one liked to discuss there. So you think, since it's about making money from signature campaigns, it should be serious? shouldn't we discuss for fun? or because most people think this forum is a place to work?

There are people who advocates that every topic should be serious and every discussion towards that topic should be strictly on that topic, else it could be tagged as an off-topic discussion. But someone like me do not actually digress from the topic, but I add some iota of humor to my conversations, because it is where I derive my pleasure being in the forum. However, I have not got my posts deleted just because I am trying to be somewhat humorous about the post.
Op, can you just copy one of the deleted messages, let's see how it looks like whether you greatly went off topic or you were trying to be humorous.

I agree with you mate, it's a cold room over there in the off topic Board and one user I admire so much here in the forum would be the skeptical chymist as I read some of his post and replies sometimes and most of the time he is just as real as you can get because he always tries to balance seriousness with humor and most times reading his comment makes me know not always the forum is about seriousness.

As far as I know, there is no prohibition on using jokes as long as they are relevant to the thread. It's just a matter of writing method, some have a serious style, some have a humorous style, so there's nothing to argue about. Although sometimes if you joke too much it can be reported or considered spam

Of course, you also have your own writing style. If everyone writes jokes then this forum will not be conducive, so there are those who are serious and there are those who joke, which will make the forum more lively. The important thing is not to go off topic

As much as discussions shouldn't always be that serious, you should still get it right so that it's constructive and meaningful enough. At times, I posted even a topic lightly, yet it would carry the cinematic load and have needed meaning that can't be underlook by anyone. No one will delete your post once you make sure of this, even if it's a joke.

But also ensure that you post in the "right section" of the forum, this is very important as well.

In the same way, I changed my opinion about you since you also have a sense of humor and know how to answer in a timely manner without being too boring. People who know how to do this always have bright personalities. We are in a society in which it is possible to combine everything, and it is very sad to read the posts of those who send you to write in an off-topic section as if some globally-politically important issues are being decided here that do not allow even a drop of humor.

I don't really get the point why op would want to joke about a post that is created to discuss about issues that need an obvious reply without any room for being sarcastic. You don't need to make jokes about people's opinions and your posts often get deleted when you make such kind of jokes because it is not appropriate at that time.

Sometimes we can make silly jokes but we don't need to make it obvious since it could be seen as off topic. Creating an off topic reply on a matter that needed an urgent reply don't not worth it. The problem is that if this kind of behavior continues, it can affect you where you don't think it will. You need to be very concise and on point when you write or Contribute to a post.

One tip that you should definitely take into account is not to pay too much attention to such banal things, especially if your posts were deleted in a self-moderated topic or if someone reported them and the moderator deleted them - in both cases, you cannot do nothing but publicly grumbling about it, and that leads nowhere.

I am of the opinion that in some boards a certain amount of seriousness should be maintained if we are discussing serious matters, but even then I do not see anything wrong if someone writes something that is slightly off topic and I would never report such a post.

You know we have different individuals and personalities here and besides the forum is specifically meant for bitcoin discussion and by extension with some boards for other discussions like gambling, politics and others. As a grown up adult, some people don't find conversation interesting if it is not a serious discussion and it is not worth discussing. If you want to joke or troll, you can still do that in the forum as well but not under serious discussions so you won't deviate from the main topic of discussion.

Deviating from topic of discussion is actually against Forum ethics and that's why there's a board for off topic discussion. If you are more concern about humor then Twitter (now X) or Facebook are perfect place for you to have that. The Forum is trying to maintain orderliness by restricting certain things to avoid bullies and threat that might arise from troll and expensive jokes.

Let's say a newbie comes in and asks a question about a bitcoin transaction that has been stuck for days or about his partially lost bitcoin wallet seeds that he is attempting to recover, are you going to apply humor? Mock him?

You have 7 deleted posts, I have 20 deleted posts. Even Theymos, the current administrator, has a deleted post, so what exactly are you mourning about here? This is a Bitcoin/crypto forum, for Pete's sake.

You want fun? Humor? Memes? Pick up threads or boards dedicated for that, or try Reddit, twitter.

Sometimes we need a little humor, but if your topic is not really off topic, it will not just get deleted but rather moved to the appropriate board. If your topic is considered an office topic, then you should get to know why, and next time when you are creating such a topic, you better create it on the off-topic board. All of the boards on the forum have small descriptions and some rules that I believe you are already aware of, so going against those rules and creating a unserious or off topic discussion will just make people report the post to the moderator, which can either be deleted or moved to the right board.

I know you are referring to your reply which was deleted in a self-moderated thread as referenced here

Like the small note says at the top;

This is a self-moderated topic. If you do not want to be moderated by the person who started this topic, create a new topic

You should have created a new topic and then included your "jokes" and "fun"

No need to create a new meta thread about your deleted reply in a self-moderated thread.

I avoid such reputation board threads in most cases because they are filled up with people craving drama and have so much ego in them that they won't even read("listen") to any form of advice. If you are craving such drama, then have at it, but don't come back wailing for help.

Not only that, I had several posts deleted. I'm not talking about my posts being deleted, I don't have a problem with that. I just want to ask whether discussions must always be serious? because I also rarely see jokes or something funny so the discussion is more fluid and friendly.

All post are meant to be given attention that is needed respectively, let joke be for joke and fun time be for fun time. You don't have to conflict issues for yourself so you are the reason for your post deletions, give attention to when needed without playing over it and if your post are creatives enough there is no way they would have gotten your post deleted for no reason. Always respect the forum and give meaning to all post according, maybe if you need to create a joking post then it's better you for the off-topic section to make it more simpler maybe it will be more appreciated over there than any other place in the forum.

Come on buddy... sometimes we need a little humor to face difficult realities Grin

Use the off-topic boards for that, i see that you are in a campaign, maybe you are trying make some spam to be paid for it?

Common buddy that is bad for you, even a regular member can see that.

If you need to joke over some kind of thing and don't want to discuss it seriously, you can always find your way to the off-topic board. I believe there are a lot of funny posts that you can contribute to and have fun doing.

Unfortunately it was too quiet there and no one liked to discuss there. So you think, since it's about making money from signature campaigns, it should be serious? shouldn't we discuss for fun? or because most people think this forum is a place to work?

Just like you said here, your comment might be deleted if they discover that they are not in line with what's being discussed in the thread. There are ways of being light and also being on the same page with the OP.

You can always say a meaningful thing in a jokeful manner, but if you overdo it on different occasions and places where such comments are not needed, it could be considered that you are just using that means to complete your weekly post quota. Considering the fact that you are wearing a signature, you can be suspected of such.

I have had several posts deleted or reported because (maybe) they were considered off topic even though my intention was to be a little funny or joking so that the discussion was not stiff and not too serious. Do you think discussions should always be that serious?
