In view of SkotlandSkye's reply, I'm assuming that posts clearly intended to be humorous will still be allowed - even we archaeologists and anthropologists like a joke, after all. However, this group does seem to attract a vast amount of "alternative archaeology/hidden history" pseudo-scientific woo, so I appreciate this change and hope it will turn the group into what it was intended to be.

@Aivery Good! I'll probably be visiting this group far more frequently from this point onwards, in that case. When you first set it up I though "Ooh! That'll be interesting!" but there tended to be so conspiracy stuff here I got bored and wandered off. Here's to a better, more scientific and enlightened future! 
Jnei:
@Aivery I actually have a certain weakness for and appreciation of cleverly constructed, well-thought-out woo - the sort that takes actual facts and puts a different spin on them to come up with a crazy bullshit conclusion. The kind that's based on "making stuff up and pretending it's true", which accounts for 99% of all so-called alternative archaeology, is a very different matter, however.
That's interesting. I usually post it in a snarky manner....never to be taken seriously (in many places and groups, not just in here -- I actually don't recall specifically posting anything in here). I do the same with Bigfoot, the Moth Man, and Nessie....etc.
So....my question is....does this no longer allow for having a sense of humor?
