All of these seem like inevitable consequences of human nature on this sort of platform.
I didn't mind the jokes. What I minded was people upvoting the more than the useful responses so you had to scroll to find them. Don't upvote low effort jokes, people.
I hated the long forced pun threads in particular. I just don't see how we can stop it from coming over unless we make explicit rules and enforce them.
I personally found the puns amusing as I find word play enjoyable. Don't forget this is all for entertainment after all.
You're entitled to your opinion, I guess.
To be clear moderating them (and other things mentioned) all away would be a lot of work even if there was universal support for it, and there isn't. That wasn't intended as a suggestion.
There are two types of people in this world, those who love puns, and those who lie.
