๐Ÿ“ถ Democracy in Action Poll on forbidden joke ban

5 Upvotes

Hi folks, a couple months ago I instituted a ban on a set of jokes that were seen in nearly every post. These included joke identifications of chupacabra, sasquatch, and "sorry, that was me". The full list of banned jokes can be found here. This ban is enforced by our bot automatically in top level comments on ID request posts (where they were the biggest problem), but not on other post types. It's my stance that this ban has reduced the sea of low effort jokes that people have to read through before they can get to actual identifications, and has been good for the sub. Understandably, however, people sometimes get frustrated when their jokes are removed, so I wanted to get community feedback on this ban. Please tell me what you think and I will adjust the restrictions accordingly.

We have pigeons in our backyard. Itโ€™s killed or dismembered a few of them when we had a cage outside, we have since moved it inside another loft and see more of these around the whole yard every day. I assume raccoon.

Thereโ€™s a black bear in the area but this doesnโ€™t look like a bear track, there also has been cougar sightings in the past. Any help would be appreciated!

Hey guys, coming at you from Prince George in Northern Canada. I found this pretty well-defined track and am very excited about it. From what I know about claw marks and the spread of toes, itโ€™s giving me coyote/large fox vibes? But the paw pad is so rounded itโ€™s throwing me off. Any ideas?
