I think they already are popping up in other sections.

Or we have to constantly remove stuff which is offensive and gets reported for things such as racism.

We are not allways here to wipe peoples arses for them unfortunately, there were so many reported threads by people from that section it was unreal

This rise of Sickipedia.org and Peej bought this on haha

Well noticed

I had already posted this in forum announcements but then moved it into gen chat a few mins later with redirect to announcements.

Or something

Scott^p · 3rd December 2008, 16:37

Please report jokes found offensive. Theres no section for them to hide in now under the heading of "just a joke" so punishment will now be harsh

I dont remember many people complaining, or at least the mods locking the thread and stating someone has. It was usually the usual culprits posting the sick jokes, so why not a quiet word with them and tell them to cut it out?

The report function is not visable to anyone but staff.
Alot got reported, racist and very ofensive jokes didnt get locked they got removed as its not something thats wanted to be seen by all.

People as scott said were warned repeatedly about what was accepted, they didnt listen they lost the section they appeared to crave for. Theres only so many times you can warn.

Been as though people are mentioning my name constantly i'd just like to add that as far as I can remember I was only warned once.

I know once is enough, but some stuff is just too funny to keep to yourself.

If I was posting something that I thought may offend, I think I did try to state that it may offend people before they opened it.

Forum needs and adult section for people who aren't easily offended tbh.

djrem · 3rd December 2008, 17:01

+1 on Adult Section.

"family forum" and all but come on.
If you are on here, you drive.
I dont know anyone who has their kids on their knees while they type on the interwebz.

"Use the rest of the internet for that"
Maybe i want to have an adult discussion with people on here about other things.
The most adult stuff get is "OMGZ I GOT MISSUS PREGGERZ, DO I GET MORE DOLEZ"

All i did was copy/paste into the jokes section.
Thats all it was. A spam pad.
Glad its gone tbh.

adult section is a good idea imo.

I think your a legend peej, your jokes gave me many laughs.

How long has the joke section been in existence?
Why all of a sudden start removing things i.e Rep.

just so i understand the situation

jaybiss · 3rd December 2008, 17:54

joke section caused offence to too many members

rep was abused and a popularity contest that was pointless in the end as it didnt work

Viper · 3rd December 2008, 18:45

good choice simo.

soo many sensitive topics being touched on in there.

just avoids upsetting anyone

kenny · 3rd December 2008, 19:06

i liked the jokes section. there was some decent jokes and fail pics there but i have to agree there was alot of shite aswel.

I agree on the adult section tbh as it would be a place to have a banter about anything adult and away from the family side of the forum. put it into place the same as premium but only available after age confirmation etc.

-Jason- · 3rd December 2008, 20:01

Hey all "man walks into a bar"

And weeps by the lack of joke section and repz

Tbh I never really posted and all most people put in reply to jokes was REPOST so no major loss.

Did like the lol cats though

Peejous · 4th December 2008, 09:13

Sorry to bump this up again.

But you say this is a family forum and all that jazz.

How very family forum like is this? < < < BTW this is not a bringvictory link.

Im not having a dig at the OP of the above thread nore at anyone else (mods/admin) Im just saying one minute you're saying its a family forum yet things like this can stay? Bit of a contradiction dont you think.

Mark51^p · 4th December 2008, 09:20

the thread in the link has been removed mate

Chr15 · 4th December 2008, 09:24

Link doesnt work Peej.

Edit: Ahh didnt see Mark's post.

Im not been an arse but do you see my point though?

I do remember posting in that thread as soon as it was put up that it probably would last long on here. Either way... can anything be done about the demotivational posters thread or is that forever lost to the depths of the archives?
