Is the section on tone out of date? There's a 2016 post on fun being "hated" in general on Stack Exchange. And when I first joined MSE, I made some attempts at fun here that got shut down pretty quickly. — starball 1 min ago

@JourneymanGeek I often see people here parodying the feed blogpost titles. when did that "tradition" start?

@JourneymanGeek how long ago was that?

Journeyman Geek

Honestly don't remember

As for that question - I think the answers from Robert and I are still valid

Tone has evolved over time though

so don't assume that what people got away with in the 2010s is still ok now :D

@Feeds I approve not oneboxing this daytime talk show anymore. Not even a good representative of its genre.

However, I'm pretty sure @MetaAndrewT. is the one who started the current "trend", you can look for it in the list of memes on MSE. ;)

I think that deleted user is Normal Human, so it makes sense as well.

@ShadowTheSpringWizard The question ban threshold was lowered twice on this site - the original lowering still resulted in many people getting banned for posting high-quality but unpopular posts so they deliberately made it extremely hard to hit.
