What Should Happen to those who Hi-Jack a Serious Thread?
Much discussion going on about hi-jacking serious threads and inserting silly comments. We've even faced with a poll on re-naming, or inserting new descriptions.

So.

Once this is done, what should happen to those who still hi-jack a thread that is clearly labeled 'serious'?

Wait for the poll.

Is that like Marinetti's famous ball-bearings in jelly recipe? the one from the Futurist Cookbook?

mmmmm cake

I have half a Bakewell tart in the fridge, but i was saving that for after dinner...

As for voting, I'm torn between two, which basically say the same thing in different ways. Am I feeling flippant(ish) or serious(ish), that is the question...

A poll, a poll, yes! Let´s get silly - ooooops, wait - is this a serious-prefixed poll or a silly-prefixed one?
