Hi @Shrub, @Jujub_811,
This is not being treated as a personal opinion or a judgment about anyone’s humor.
Moderation decisions are based on content standards and context, not whether a comment is funny or not.
Comments that are reaction-only, dismissive, or add no discussion value are classified under our standards as low-effort / non-constructive. This is a moderation category used to keep important threads readable and on-topic.
This standard is applied based on:
- Thread type (official announcement vs casual discussion)
- Contribution to the topic
- Risk of derailing or encouraging similar reaction chains
If these types of comments are allowed in announcement posts, they often lead to multiple similar replies, which lowers the quality and usability of the thread. That is what the rule is intended to prevent.
This was issued as a written warning, which is a low-level reminder, not a disciplinary strike or punishment.
To be clear: Humor is allowed in BrowseDNS
This is a content standard decision, not a personal or subjective one.
We appreciate the feedback, but the warning will remain logged. Moving forward, please keep replies in official threads constructive and discussion-focused.
-
did it lead to derailing though? it didnt
-
you take action before said problem even happens
-
nothing happened and you literally warned me for something that annoyed you, that wasnt targeted to you, nor was it breaking a rule
-
You’re right -- the thread itself didn’t actually get derailed.
The warning was meant as a preventative step. In the past, reaction-style comments on announcement posts have turned into chains, which makes important threads harder to read and follow.
That being said, the goal isn’t to warn people for something that hasn’t become a real problem. Warnings are meant to guide things before they turn into spam or off-topic chains------- not to shut down normal interaction or humor.
Going forward, to keep things clear:
- A single light or joking comment on its own isn’t an issue
- Action will only be taken if replies start turning into chains, spam, or derail the thread
- Announcement posts should stay mostly constructive,, but normal engagement is still fine .
-
okay but your warning was literally in the wrong
-
you're warning me for something i DIDN'T DO.
-
I didn't shitpost
-
I want to clear this up.
The warning was given because the comments looked like reaction-only replies on an announcement post. In the past, that kind of thing has turned into chains and derailed important threads, so it was handled early to prevent that.
However, after looking at it again, your comments by themselves didn’t actually cause any disruption.
Because of that, the warning was unnecessary and it will be removed from your record.
Going forward, we’ll only step in if posts actually start turning into spam, chains, or off-topic replies... not for single light or joking comments.
In the future, do not hesitate to reach out as you have done today.
