Humour Section under attack

[Preen59]

Haha Ryan that's gold.

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.

Unfortunately, some people have little else to do but complain and due to the state of affairs the mods, really, LEGALLY have to show that they are doing the right thing.

Thats right. Lets hear it for solicitors people!

on the whole i enjoy the humor section,

sure there is an odd post or thread or joke that is questionable everynow and then. But i can live with taht. I expect that some jokes i wont get, some i wont find funny and some will even offend me. but I don't take myself to serious, cause I realise, being in the humor section, it was meant as a joke.

thats fine jarred. We dont take you too seriously either

Just an observation here.. But about 1/3 of the posts in this thread alone are people taking the pi$$ out of eachother..

Now, i think that's great. I really do. I believe humor brings people closer together..



So here's a suggestion.. Hows about deleting the accounts of the people who continually complain and report harmless posts all the time, rather than deleting posts and threads the almost everyone on VWW gets a kick out of and keeps coming back for?
Because lets face it.. We don't want or need to know them anyway!

The humour section makes a lot of work for us and it's unfair the mods who do the most work also cop the most grief. People need to remember its a forum and we have to go with what the majority want. Once this has run it's course we may bring back from the dead the motivational posters.

Why do you think it's a waste of time? Just curious to hear both sides of the argument, and am not trying to start .


And if you're the first to have a good laugh, check it out once in a while. I regularly get lols out of it

Peas out brothers!

Thats completely ok and your DECISION.

Kind of my point, and most other peoples.

Well as the votes stand it is 21 for relaxed moderation - and a big fat zero for strict moderation.

I regularly frequent through here for a bit of a laugh at something silly and have forwarded many a pic on to mates who would find things funny too. If it is not your cup of tea, so be it. Sure, some images or jokes might push it, but compared to humour sections on other forums, the stuff on here is G rated!

I feel sorry for the mods who have to put up with some people who clearly have too much time on their hands and maybe need to follow good old chopper reads advice and "harden the **** up". I certainly hope the motivational posters ends back up on here in its full uncensored glory!

Is that what happened to them? I thought they were the BEST part of this section. How come they were removed?

[mikepologti]

why people go to places where they know there going to be offended is beyond me. ffs do i turn up to a honda dealership and start complaining ? no! i dont want to see there cars hence i dont go rifleing through there catalogues, peeing and moaning.

this thread is not a milk bar in a street you dont acidently walk down the road and stumble accross it, someone has to physically click on this thread to be here.

for gods sake exercise some anishative(or however you spell it), if you dont like it dont go here.simple

[zz2]

at times it seems like there are more mods here than members.
yes i know being mod is a thankless task but come on guys ease up. if you took a more relaxed approach to things rather than spending all your time editing other members posts then its no ones fault but yours that you have created a massive work load

if the mod team cant accept that then just cancel out all forms of humor and fun, but i think you will find the quality of this forum will be greatly reduced

[FJ Steve]

I find Swearing really offensive, please moderate it because the internet is really serious.

Gotta say I love the humour section on this forum. I post on various sports and music forms and the humour section here kicks arse.

People should be aware of what’s in here. Perhaps if when creating a thread we leave a little warning:

JOKE: GUY GOES INTO A BAR *WARNING SEXIST JOKE*

That way people who are sensitive to a particular issue can avoid the thread.

Also, to the people who are anti swearing, I can completely understand your views and have no problem with it, BUT, don't say that people are being unintelligent and not "exercising their vocabulary" simply because they use a swear word. Many intelligent people use swear words and I think you'd be making giant assumptions if you were to go around presuming anyone who swore hadn't taken their thesaurus pills when they woke up.
