Could we have a serious replies only tag like Reddit?
For those who aren't familiar with Reddit, there's a subreddit called AskReddit where you can ask anything and many of the answers are joke replies or sarcasm. But if you tag your question as "Serious", people are supposed to only post serious answers.

I've seen post tagged serious, and people followed it. Search for serious, you'll find a few. I think it also depends on the way OP writes
It canāt be enforced here. No mods.
Here though users are more likely to report comments. So it would need to rely on community moderation, which honestly may work in this case. If one or two already reporting a snark reply to a "serious" topic gets the comment flagged then yeah
That works sometimes but can also backfire and a user finds their self temporarily or permanently banned and they have no idea why. I like blind but the fact that it's self moderated is both good and bad. I like the idea of a serious only request but the trolls may just flock to those harder.
