| Apr 1, 2019 at 23:22 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | @terdon I'm not suggesting you should nor do I think you would just floating the generic idea that a mod could convert an answer to a comment. Personally I don't like the answer and if I saw it in comment form I would probably comment below that it wasn't nice or at the very least seek clarification. It sounds like it's being spun as a joke now. As guilty as I am of frequent corny or cheesy jokes I fail to see the humour in this one. Perhaps there is subconscious jealousy buried within? Perhaps if you fine me 50 points for cheesy jokes (and others for mean ones) we'll all stop :P | |
| Apr 1, 2019 at 11:37 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @WinEunuuchs2Unix why in the world would I take the time to convert a bad joke to a comment? We only do that when users who don't have enough rep to comment post something useful, but not quite an answer. This was not useful at all and Pilot has more than enough rep to post a comment. | |

Windy does brag how most of his points come from quoting manpage on many occasions. I think this is the subtle suggestion Pilot is making which, is valid in comment form but obviously not as an answer. You do have the power to convert answer to a comment though...

| Feb 28, 2019 at 9:12 | comment | added | Andrew T. | @Pilot6 humor is allowed if it's not offensive, not snarky/sarcastic, and especially if it answers the question... and is it really to reduce tension? You didn't consider how high-rep users (like yourself) will react when reading that answer? And the fact that suspension is something that cannot be taken so lightly... | |
| Feb 28, 2019 at 7:49 | comment | added | vidarlo | But it was not an answer. I could understand a comment, but it's clearly not an answer. | |
| Feb 27, 2019 at 21:02 | comment | added | Pilot6 | Seriously. I posted that answer to reduce tension. I know it is a bad story, but without some sense of humor it is worse. | |
| Feb 27, 2019 at 20:58 | comment | added | Pilot6 | Anywhere? Do I deserve suspension for that? ;-) Inquisitors!! | |
| Feb 27, 2019 at 20:56 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @Pilot6 posting an answer that doesn't address the subject at hand and is nothing but a joke is not allowed anywhere. This would have been deleted no matter where it had been posted. | |
| Feb 27, 2019 at 20:37 | comment | added | Pilot6 | I seriously don't. Why not leave it alone. But if it is so important that jokes are not allowed, well...OK. | |
| Feb 27, 2019 at 20:34 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @Pilot6 sure. But why post an answer? And on such a serious subject? What really baffles me is that you would not understand why it was deleted! | |
| Feb 27, 2019 at 20:32 | comment | added | Pilot6 | This is meta... and some fun is useful at times. :-) | |
| Feb 27, 2019 at 20:31 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @Pilot6 it's well known that we hate fun. More seriously, come on! You've been an active user for years, surely by now you know that an answer should be providing an answer and not a joke. And, in any case, the suspension of one of our highest rep users is not something to joke about. | |
| Feb 27, 2019 at 20:28 | comment | added | Pilot6 | Everyone is so serious here ;-) | |
