People are welcome to tag their thread as serious, and they are welcome to ignore posts they don't deem to be serious enough, but ultimately there is no need for a rule.
I'm just asking for clarification here.
Are you saying you want shitposts to be allowed in all areas of the forum? If so, do you think people are going to be happy to sift through 5 posts of mindless garbage for every decent post? Hopefully I'm not coming across defensive here - just looking for your stance on this.
I also closed that thread since I'm not going to turn off the rules because a user requested it - maybe if there's a decent discussion and the rules change.
