Humour Section under attack

[99gti]

Ladies and Gents,

Of late the team have been coping all sorts of flack about how the humour section is being run. It's not an added stress we need to have so you have the option to voice your opinion!

Do we continue with the relaxed approach to moderating the humour section or do we follow a strict code of no swearing or obscene pictures? Also note that a lot of the jokes do make fun of some one, a group, race, sex, hair colour, car choice, dressing fashion and just about every possible thing that could easily be interpreted as offensive.

We as a group are fed up with being held ransom to allowing a bit of fun that's not intended to hurt any ones feelings. It's unfair on the mods to continue to cop lip from members in this un-just manor.

So, take you vote and we will deliberate on the results shortly.

We are adults here...If you don't like it, don't look at it...Nobody is forcing you to. To the member/s who started this farce in the first place, get a sence of humour, and a life....If you don't like it, leave.
People who start these dramas are the reason our society as a whole is going down the drain... Larikanisim is an Aussie way of life. If you have never swarn in your life, you are a liar...We have all done it.

I vote we just delete the humour section.

It generates lots of trouble and work for the mods and is unnecessary on a VW forum.

You didn't vote......

And in that case....any topic that has nothing to do with VW should be removed.

I thought this was a community. A community that has no humour won't be too popular.

I didn`t vote as I reckon there should be a third option, do away with the section.

I never read it and it enerates lots of work and complaints from things people find offensive.

The internet has many funny things on it, go and find what you find funny. If it needs discussion, do it in general chat where the topics evaporate when noone cares anymore.

I agree humour is good, but why are we overloading the mods with extra work for no reason??

Because people with no lives are are the ones who bring this **** on in the first place...The mods do a great job, and once in a while need to ignore the little girls in this world.

I really don't see what the ****ing problem is.. If you don't like it or you think you might be offended, don't ****ing look at it!

Some people really need to grow a pair.

Here here!

It's called the "Humour Section". It's meant to be funny. I'm sorry, but if you don't find what's on the Humour Section funny, don't come here!

I say keep it, and continue with the relaxed approach. I love this section.

And to the people who, of course have to complain about something or are worried that what they see here could be offensive; no one is forcing you to make clicky on the section.

And to the Mods, don't think your work here isn't appreciated! It's thanks to you we can have those laughs

Exactly.

the way I see it.
For every person that has a whinge at the way this place is run. There are 1000 people that dont whinge. I figure we out number them

[maca]

I just want to ask though, what does this part mean?

......we will report posts if we dont like them

Wouldn't that cause extra work for you guys given the amount of content people can find "offensive"?

Not at all, it give us a link directly to the ost in question and saves us having to troll every thread created.

[Dub_Star_V6]

I would request the Mods don't pander to the loud minority, because if I was worried about who I would potentially offend in the course of a day, I'd never leave the house.

The people who have complained are probably the same ones who bang on about road traffic noise after buying a house next to a motorway, or go into 7-11 and protest that there are adult magazines for sale too!

If you visit the humour section, despite knowing it may contain bad swears and b( .)(. )bies, please don't complain when there are lots of other members who enjoy a laugh by reading this thread.

If you know what's there and feel you may not like it, don't visit. You're adults, you have a choice. Exercise that choice for yourself, instead trying to remove other's right to choose.

Pretty simple.

My mum said its ok for me to look...Do I need permission from the minority as well?? Maybe we should get permission from therie mums...One of them said its ok, she is here now...Is that offensive??

Haha. So offended right there.

Thanks for the clarification, 99gti.

I'm actually surprised the mods even had to create this thread. I thought it was universally understood that the content on this thread is not intended seriously.
