Dave I know the rules better than anyone, I helped to write them. I did not intend when contributing to the rules for spam to exist in other areas of the forum, however I did see that trying to stop is was a waste of time, totally unproductive.
As for non astro related stuff, I think this is good, you get to know the personalities involved and get some understanding of those people. To just contribute oly astro stuff is missing out on knowing the people you are talking to. Well thats how I feel. Stupid jokes, games etc provide a bit of levity to a most serious subject. Some people here are not hardline astro nerds that have struggled their whole lives to make friends. (I am not saying this is you)
Yes there are chat rooms, but there are many people here who like to use the forums as a meeting place. Sure we have astro in common, but we might also have other things in common. Stupidity and laughter being another.
