Us staff have been contemplating whether to remove the serious tag. It was originally intended to allow for uninteruppted, serious discussion while still allowing other threads to be relaxed. However, we are think that it hasn't really done it's job, firstly because very few members seem to actually respect the serious tag and secondly because there seem to be very few occasions when it is actually needed.
By removing the serious tag, we free people up from having to worry about being warned for joking around in a thread that was labeled "serious" even if it wasn't actually a serious threadβ and stuff like that. However, this comes with the drawback of users not being able to control whether they want members to be allowed to reply to their thread with a non-serious answer, which may sometimes be wanted.
Please vote on the poll depending on whether you think the serious tag is useful and necessary~

Serious tag bit pointless due to a lot of trolls lately, or people just not giving an honest fuck about it.

I disagree with removing it, however, I think that if a thread has a serious tag, it has to be worthy of a serious tag.
Example: If there's a thread called "[serious] I broke my game and lost my progress!" that'd obviously be worthy of a serious tag. But a thread like "[serious] Look at this meme I found guys!" then ofc it wouldn't be worthy of a serious tag.
I'm too lazy to go into the details of all the requirements for a serious tag rn, but I might be willing to talk about it on discord l8r

I usually don't notice if there's a SERIOUS tag and either way it wouldn't really affect what I'm going to post tbh

Personally, I hate it when people respond jokingly to someone who wants serious replies.
I say leave it as it is.

I'd say the Serious tag isn't really needed anymore, even though I kept spamming it on my thread titles, if you want a serious discussion, you can just mention it at the thread itself, give up a line for something like: "Hey, this thread is for serious discussion, light jokes are ok but make sure you have something to contribute........" and et cetera.

Don't remove it. If only a few people actually respect the tag, even less will follow it when there is no serious tag. The solution is to be stricter with the rules and enforce respecting serious tags and handing out warnings for those who don't.

Remove it. It seems like most people can't handle it and just make joke threads with it. If anyone wants to make a thread seem serious, they can say so in the title themselves./span]

To be honest, I'm not sure.
I've voted yes, but I'm aware that many people use it poorly and that it isn't used that much. In the end, it's up to the Forum Staff to decide whether or not to keep it.
