I was about to say something along the lines of this. I believe it goes: "The mods have been cracking down on random humor. Don't be surprised if this thread gets sent to the Spam forum (or deleted)."

If your saying when did this new policy become more strict, it's been getting more and more strict for a while now.

It may just be a coincidence, but I think Fris is a tad more non-tolerant of spam than the other/previous mods.

Threads are born as either spam or flamebait. Like humans are born as either boys or girls.

I beg to differ. Wiktionary (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/serios) offers a much more detailed definition.
