A vast majority of the user/members here take the wisdom and council quite seriously IMO. Do they occassionally foray into the humor-zone - every now and then.
A very small minority are cute, attempt to be funny or sarcastic with many of their posts. They earn a reputation quickly enough. It helps to know the history of a poster.
Whether newbie or ol' hand on this forum, all have been cautioned that they are responsible for their own decisions.
"All advice posted on this forum should be considered nothing more than hearsay. Even if a poster identifies themselves as an attorney, law enforcement official or expert in a given field, there is no way to verify that fact or that they are correct. Therefore, any and all advice you glean from this forum should be independently verified!"
