The moderators simply interpret the TOS and enforce it.
Subtle but critical distinction that is unfortunately lost on many moderators.

Haven't you learned to question everything that's posted on April that seems to be too good to be true?

What can TB do? Pass a motion (on April 20 if we're lucky) asking the posters to retroactively remove their jokes? Very useful that would be!

Of course it is. TB can legislate that Aprils Fools jokes are not permitted but the enforcement of anything is always up to the moderators.

Personally I don't have any issues with AFD threads and find them entertaining.
