View submission: Rule Enforcement Change - Top-level comments must answer the question
I think you’re very optimistic about asking the most sarcastic nation on Earth to answer questions sincerely, and not with our infamous British flair.
Are any questions on here really important enough to warrant only serious answers? If they are that important I would have thought Google is better for an answer. I’m pretty sure most people posting a question on here expect a few non-serious answers.

It seems to me that they're only asking people to exclusively answer sincerely if OP wants them to do so.
Either way, it's actually really easy to do; instead of giving just the joke answer, give the joke answer *and* some useful information. There's nothing prohibiting jokes, they just don't want *only* jokes.
If they are that important I would have thought Google is better for an answer.
Have you seen the state of Google's results lately? The good ones are often just posts to reddit threads, and they didn't spring up out of the aether.

Seems the mods miss the point of their own sub. I would stop coming.

Most of the highly upvoted posts tend to be the funnier/more relaxed/story driven posts but probably 90% of posts on here are people genuinely looking for the answer to something or advice on a serious issue. They don't tend to get upvoted very high but they make up the majority of posts.
