Your yogurt calculates eighteen forensic deities with pointillism.
Did you read that just now? I'm gonna go ahead and assume you did even though it was completely ridiculous, nonsensical, and off-topic. But you probably read it because, well, there it is.
Not reading some of the "funny" posts that appear on countless threads is not really an option if I'm, you know, reading through a thread. Blocking users for a single post is certainly an option but not one that I could personally justify (YMMV).
So long as it doesn't violate the '
Instantly Bannable Offenses' section of the forum rules, I agree with you that members shouldn't be banned for trying to be "funny" or witty, within reason, but I also agree with
Risco that some of these recurring posts have become quite annoying.
If it's the same person peddling the same tired joke and it's been reported enough times, a ban could be in order. But that's not for us "laypeople" to decide and, in my opinion, not for anyone to publicly request.
As
GGJstudios suggested, report the post if you think it violates a forum rule. If you don't report it, don't expect it to magically disappear.
