** [Roland Taylor](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/4769/roland-taylor) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3306201#3306201):** I encourage humour and social flexibility; so fun is okay with me when it's appropriate, otherwise I would kindly discourage it.

We are all people (with a few exceptions).

** [Bruno Pereira](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/24421/bruno-pereira) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3306295#3306295):** On chat I see no problems with it. As long as it does not cross the borders of being rude or making someone upset over a subject go for it. But, if we are talking about areas of the site that are exposed to the public or might reflect the site's public image I say that is off limits. All the time you spend having fun on the site on areas where you should not means more time a moderator needs to clean those up, meaning that more time will have to be spent on trivial unnecessary actions.
** [jokerdino](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/24463/jokerdino) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3313184#3313184):** As long as humor stays as humor, I will just be fine with it. But, anyone can instinctively feel when the fun factor is getting too much out of hand. In that case, I will try to curb the fun to make sure that it doesn't go beyond.
