The question on the serious part is that virtually no thread is serious. Heck there are serious topics put up which are instantly derailed by dumb pics, oft repeated jokes, or an attempt to squash the topic or hit on the original poster.
It isn't the choosing between threads. It's wading through the drivel in what was supposed to be a serious thread. Not just the one joke in 20 posts but 10 jokes, five pics and 5 posts with any content.
Poster after poster saying well yeah I have to wade through a lot of crap but CP is still better than ? Shouldn't be the point. Nor should being resigned to it. How about make improvements!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not saying that things are okay with CP because other sites are way worse. But to say what happens at other sites is irrelevant is wrong. You can learn from the mistakes at other sites.
But maybe the issues you're having on here are just the result of a different perspective between yourself and the mods. A community is usually a reflection of those who control it and here the mods have a pretty good sense of humour. How many forums would instantly ban a user who called the owner a troll? But here it's treated like a joke and everyone just laughs about it. Maybe things here are a little too lighthearted for your liking and you'd prefer things to be more serious. But that's just a preference and not a right/wrong issue.
