Introduction subforum rules and enforcement policy - you need to read this.

[Whateverist]

I was chastised for making an obvious joke. I feel the enforcement is a bit overzealous. I can go back a check but I remember not getting a very warm reception.

I don't remember your own entry so clearly but I do somewhat remember an introduction thread on which you got some grief for making what seemed to me an innocuous joke. I just have to trust that if mods think this needs to be treated on a surface level, then it is necessary for their clarity and convenience in enforcing the rules. In the best of all possible worlds more subtlety would be welcome, but then in that world rules enforcement would pay better than it does currently. I'm not going to complain about the policy choices our fine volunteers make unless it compromises something essential.
