Bans should not be jokes.

I agree. When you turn a ban into a joke you dilute the purpose of a ban: it’s punishment. By turning it into a plaything you give it a positive bumociation, it becomes less of a stigma— you could even go so far as to claim that joke bans, and the joke bans of the chans, a large influence on fwz, are the reason behind the ban glorification of bans on the site, and thus the reason we lose so many good posters.
