Is it rude to post in forum topics with the only purpose of being humorous? BTW, do we need fora policies?

After seeing erratic's post in this topic, I started to wonder if my habit of posting just to cash in a pun opportunity is rude... Furthermore, it made me wonder: are there applicable (written or not) fora policies here in LG? And, are they necessary or (as I hope) common sense shall suffice?

Can a post be half humorous?

I hope we decide its not rude: LOL-ing to LG posts is frequently the light of my day (which is kinda sad, I know).

I may be to self-conscious today due to spending a reasonable part of it reading Wikipedia's policy.

I think the forum is fine as it is. I generally oppose moderation on forums and I don't think the LG forum has given us any reason to change the policy (it is not spam filled or anything)

I agree, common sense should be an offence!

And you're an amateur in causing offence in the forums, Marius. I like to think this was a masterpiece, even if, or perhaps because, I left the majority of the crowd completely perplexed right from the start!

(And no, there's no classic youtube vid at the end of that exclamation mark, sorry.)

I have not seen a single rude post on LG since a long time. Challenging or ironic, yes. But rude? No!

@Marius: did you note erratic's smiley after I thought this was a serious thread. ;-)?

I enjoy reading the 'did we loose our king' topic, by the way.

@Hjalti-lol

Making pedantic corrections?

FYP.

Now, rather than then, the Lama who rode a llama wrote on his diary as he appprached the dairy, "We should not allow the guerrilla band to kill those gorillas in the jungle. If we are too loose, we will lose our position....."

I hate pedantic corrections

and it is Hjallti with doublle l not single, for that mater, plleasse!

And I speek englizj even worse than I wrrite it... Hjalliti, you may call me slapgrag...

Neenee, slaapgraag vind ik best leuk :-)

(in English: NowKnow, sleeplike find I best funny :-))
