If you have problems with the moderation here PM. If you have problems with a specific member PM. Let's keep feuds and tensions out of here.

I've no problems with moderation at all... in fact I'd rather there was LESS moderation, and only moderation for stuff that is truly offensive... even then, as long as it carries a warning I think even that should be tolerable.

This of course doesn't apply to racism, which IMO is the only thing that I would wish to eradicate from this planet entirely, let alone forums. Everything else is a matter of opinion, but racism (or for that matter any other kind of hatemongering) is just plain wrong.

Although if it's done ironically that can be ok, but it's a fine line and you always run the risk of offending someone, especially if they're foreign and don't understand the language being used quite so well. And no, that wasn't intended as a dig, but things do get lost in translation... for example, I've no "tensions" with Chris, which you seem to think were evident, case in point. Chris is cool and I've known him for a long while, but even so, his "joke" was completely unnecessary and when you're moderating something funny and leaving something unfunny AND offensive, it starts to get a bit confusing.

Consistency is the answer!

Oh, and just to clarify something.....

A servile self-seeker who attempts to win favor by flattering influential people.

I didn't say the fanbase was sycophantic, just the smell.

And to carry on with things.....


So, Gary Glitter's in prison talking about going on holiday.....

I don't know what your life is made of but please, I understand your request and what you feel. The only thing I will ask you is to spare my time with your martial morality around respect. In another place, sarcasm or not when you see a weakness in someone, you're in the top three for public demolition

so now, enjoy this place, and if you don't just turn your back on all this

Thank you

Hi dudes....I would like everyone to relax, and listen to Mr Geoff. He may be french...but he speaks the truth! (THAT was a joke!).

I deleted the original version of that joke Tom, and maybe other jokes on this thread were a bit over the top aswell, I felt that your one stood out as immediately...too sick? I mean, I like sick jokes, but that one was pushing it. Maybe its because I am young, but I felt myself being corrupted whilst I read that joke. And I didnt laugh.

Anyway, carry on.

Did you laugh at the less sick one?

Like I said, tailor it to the audience.

And yes, I am proud of corrupting you. Hahahahaha! Next time you won't be so sickened. That's called desensitisation and it's healthy (to an extent)!

Changing the end of the joke didnt really make it any less funny....maybe I should just do that in future. Yep.

Discussion about "what is funny" is not funny. Moralising is boring.

Good call dude, ATEOTD you're a moderator, not a censor.

Two men in their 80's are talking in the park. The first one looks at his watch and says, "I must go now, it's time to meet my wife for sex."

The other man says, "We're in our 80's now -- how do you still manage to get it hard?"

"By eating a lot of Rye bread," comes the reply. "That makes it hard as a rock."

The man has to try it and goes to the bakery. He asks the girl for ten loaves of rye bread. The girl asks if it's for a party and he replies, "No, it's all for me."

The girl says, "All for you, it's going to get hard."

The man replies, "Everybody knows about it but me !!!!"


I hope this one is ok, guys

Damned Aussies, shoulda killed em all rather than shipping em off in prison ships.

Is THAT what you mean by "Ironic Racism"? Well...I hope it is.

Anyway, I see by the big letters at the top of my page that this is the JOKES thread, and not the LET'S ALL GET SHITTY WITH ONE ANOTHER ABOUT JOKES thread, so with that in mind...let us continue.

All sitting comfortably? Good.

A drunk walks out of a bar with a key in his hand and he is stumbling back and forth. A cop on the beat sees him and approaches "Can I help you sir?""
Yessh! Ssssomebody ssstole my carrr" the man replies.
The cop asks "Where was your car the last time you saw it?"
It wasss on the end of thisshh key" the man replies.
About that time the cop looks down and sees the man's weiner is hanging out of his fly for all the world to see.
He asks the man "Sir are you aware that you are exposing yourself?"
Momentarily confused, the drunk looks down at his crotch and without missing a beat, blurts out.........
"I'll be damned ----- My girlfriend's gone, too!!!!!"

How about this one...

What do you call a car with 5 (REPLACE race) going over a cliff?

A waste...because you could have fit 2 more in the boot!

Chris

You obviously have an alternative self-generated definition of xenophobia if you find any references in my joke to do with racism!

CHRIS

Am I just missing something here? The fact that you put "REPLACE race" means that the joke is racist. If you'd said "5 babies" it wouldn't have been racist. Excuse me if you think I'm being a bit irrational here.

In case I'm mistaken, I thought xenophobia meant a fear/dislike of anyone who's foreign, and therefore it's just about as racist as you can get!

Oh look.

xen·o·phobe ( P ) Pronunciation Key (zn-fb, zn-)

A person unduly fearful or contemptuous of that which is foreign, especially of strangers or foreign peoples.

Ahem.

Here have some flowers not worth arguing about when theres so much to talk about ...DEVLAB!

I find it quite unfair that people can make fun of famine in 3rd world countries but i cant talk about dead things falling out of trees...

I personally find quiet unfair that people can use what's posted here to to turn their back and claim somewhere else this is racism or discrimination
I'm sick of this, if people have problems with this board or some specific post or members, just contact the mod team.

Just curious ... No one here wants to make a racist joke about the fact that french people stink, about the fact that we wear stupid berets and about the fact that we love to stick our fuckin' baguettes feep inside our asses ?
Shit ... It was posted on the old SYL board before, I miss these good times

Geoff

you can makes jokes about nationalities if you are willing to laugh also yourself too. As long it's just for fun and nobody acts "superior". Every nationality is equal, except for the Bolivian.
