2: Given the size of our population and the maturity of our community, I recommend avoiding premature optimization of the rules. There needs to be some mechanism for segregating non-sincere content from sincere content. If there's that, it's not so important that we have a clear definition of what counts, for our purposes, as "Purim Torah." We could just leave it as "funny stuff about Torah" and see how it goes. 3: 4: 5: Probably the neatest way to segregate is to put Purim Torah in a category. We can avoid clutter and mission-creep by hiding that category entirely outside of the Purim Torah season. That way, we don't have to worry about mass-closing, the practice on Mi Yodeya, and we don't have to worry about tags, special formatting or disclaimers on every post. 1: I'd suggest, as a season, the month[s] of Adar, just to keep things simple. If we have full segregation with a category, a 1-2-month-long season won't disturb the rest of the content. 6: I like the idea of including Purim Torah essays, but I have the same concerns about quality control and originality that I posted regarding [Divrei Torah](https://judaism.codidact.com/posts/277299) in this case exacerbated by the fact that the implicit sincerity requirement in the real Divrei Torah category would be absent. Perhaps we should apply the same rule about deletion after three days if not upvoted as we do [to Divrei Torah](https://judaism.codidact.com/posts/278481) (at least officially), perhaps to all Purim Torah.
