None of these are "halfsies", I've been saying that using the five stated words, memes, etc in serious discussions should be prohibited but using them with people who can casually handle that in say chat is fine as long as it doesn't go into spam territory.

I don't get where you're getting this "don't go halfsies like that and then have one person in trouble for using it but someone else be fine" nonsense, please elaborate. I want to properly understand your statements because they're more vague than how these rules suggestions first started. You said "using them in serious discussions should be prohibited but using them casually in chat is fine".

One person may not think of something as serious as another. I for example could be serious 100% of the time and someone else could seldom be serious- how are you to know when someone is being serious? How many times have people- both in chat and in comments- been unable to tell when someone is joking or not? I know extremely well that people cannot tell when I'm serious or not at all times- are you telling me other users don't experience this problem?

When you make a rule, then immediately make another rule about how you can circumvent the first rule, something seems amiss I think.
