Do discussions always have to be serious?

[PytagoraZ]

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?

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

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.
 
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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. I sometimes see things like that in popular members, but most members are not like that

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

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.

Maybe the popular members you see also have their posts deleted but they don't go on lamenting about it.

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.

I already said that I don't mind my post being deleted. I have no problem regarding that. Understand?

I'm talking about a little humor. Nothing says meme here. So in your opinion, the discussion here should be serious? Right?

joke in addition to an on topic paragraph is fun

a joke instead of an on topic paragraph is spam and delete worthy

You can add a little humor, but just make sure you are not off-topic overall, and it has to be only in certain threads.
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 jokes? Mock him?

Personally, I have never had any dispute over my deleted posts. I notice what I could have done wrong and try to avoid it next time, but in most cases it was always off-topic.

Yes, yes... I know not all discussions can be given a touch of humor. But most of the members here are very serious so I asked this. Thanks for your attention, I really appreciate it

many times I lead with a joke and in a new paragraph I  then say back to the  topic followed by an on topic

[BabyBandit]

You can joke abut things, if the gang here allows you, if not you will get them all against you.. Nah but joke about whatever you want mate..
But do it classy and not insult anyone or be mean, that's just unnecessary. We should still respect each other even if we hiding as we do  

[Solosanz]

This forum have rules and you need to obey it if you want to stay here, if you want to troll you can go to Facebook or X.

1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. [1][e]

2. No off-topic posts.

3. No trolling.

I'm happy to see a moderation in this forum for deleting off topic or troll post, if not it's really consume my time to ignore one by one user.

Just make it simpler; the moderator wouldn't delete your post if you did right and vice versa.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

OP you've been here long enough to know that the community not only doesn't tolerate humor, the concept of it and certainly the execution of humorous/funny/sarcastic writing is a foreign and offensive one.  Don't ever try to make jokes here, because the discussion of bitcoin and the earning of it through bounty-hunting shitpostery is serious business.

If you ever mention humor again or try to be funny in a post, I'm going to report it to the mods.  If making ha-ha's is your thing, you might try to find some discussion forum for comedians.  Bitcointalk is not the place for it.

Blaaaaahaaaaahaaaaa-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

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

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.

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.

[hugeblack]

There are rules for using the forum, and you are lucky because you have not been banned. As long as you adhere to the forum rules, which prohibit trolling & spam nothing will happen to you, but since you wear paid signatures, you must work a little to make high-quality posts, otherwise your posts may harm the service that pays you to do these posts or at least ignore you.

Anyway according to modlog ---->https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php your last one week's entries is zero so what you mean by

I have had several posts deleted or reported because (maybe) they were considered off topic even though my intention
