An April Apology

We here at the Minecraft Forum take Minecraft very seriously. We are serious about our community, we are serious about our forum, we are serious about our favorite game. We are seriously sorry for not being more serious on this seriously normal day. To make up for this sub-par attempt at puerile humor, we will immediately make amends with the following changes to the forum:

Sacheverell will only post news about game updates
All sections of the forum will have the prefix "serious" attached, to show our commitment to seriousness
Forum moderators will now have a minimum quota of infractions per day to give out (meaning, they will have to give out infractions to stay above the minimum limit), to demonstrate seriousness
Forum admins will now have a minimum quota of bans per day
The following actions are now infraction-worthy:
- Misspelling words
- Incorrect grammar
- Whimsy
- Fun
- Jokes
- Talking about games other than Minecraft
- Complaining about the new policies
- Making fun of anything
- Embedded videos
- Creating new threads
- Posting in existing threads
- Correct spelling
Cats will no longer be discussed in any section of the forum

We know these changes - which are in line with our vision of the perfect forum - will please 100% of our users. We are committed to making sure every single person is satisfied, and we will not stop changing things around until this goal is met.

Also, enjoy your villagers.

I love the new rules, and I'm deathly allergic to the adorableness of cats.Edit:

Doesn't anyone else play Minecraft with the sound off all the time?

I do because I play while I listen to QI videos on YouTube. :3

Another ridiculous and poor attempt at a joke. April Fools is for little kids, not for gaming companies.

You wana bet? More jokes and pranks were done by teachers at my school than students.

See, it's posts like these that sparked this "serious" joke in the first place. I think it's cool that they have a you-guys-know-it's-April-fools-but-we're-doing-something-silly-anyway thing each year.

i would have added the "serious" to the posts thread to show that are serious as well, at least i will not get an infraction for loggin into my curse to add a comment, i'm glad it's a joke cause i can still see cats on a side note.... anyway to keep the villager takeover snapshot? i love it! (and by now it's past april's fool so i am not joking)

Having a villager themed resource pack would not necessarily be a bad thing... You can turn it off if you choose...The near water and lava sound was somewhat annoying.. A delayed repeat rate would have been nice... Also, I only got to be a generic brown dressed villager and not one of the fancier ones.

I have to know - what is it like to never laugh? XD

I used to laugh too much and now I can't laugh anymore(laughing while not being able to breathe that is, I can still laugh normally but it's just different.)

Wait a second... the only infraction I got was correcting spelling/grammar and now they're saying its a new way to get an infraction as a joke. But I actully got one for it >

Yes, I was very rude about it, and I'm sorry for that but I still feel it was a bit unfair... oh well.

Funny April Fools joke though
