It's not so much friendly banter I have a problem with. If it is friendly banter which is relevant to the topic, that's fine. It's just that some people treat forum posts like SMSes or chat messages. An SMS or a chat message can still have on-topic content with value to the discussion or community (and then it's fine), but sometimes they don't (ex. just "lol" or just an emoticon) and they're the ones that should be discouraged, I think.
For a quick example of how I think bad posting could be improved, see
