Humour section

[99gti]

Ladies and Gents,
To sum this up simply, things need to be toned down a notch in the humour section. It's the biggest cause of pain for the Admins and Mods and ultimately this is a VW forum.

If you want to post pictures up in here, host them off the site instead of using up our server space. If a mod deletes your post, please dont give them lip over it. If they deem something is obnoxious then it is their job to remove it and without them we dont have a forum. It's that simple.

If the smut is not cleaned up then we will revert to a single humour post that will be pruned regularly. It will be placed in the general section and therefore will be much more heavily moderated.

The votes to abolish the humour section now out weigh those who do not wish to get rid of it so this is it. Either clean up the posts your making in here or we have to revert to an option that makes it more simple. Things have been left to run freely in here but they are going well beyond what is deemed acceptable.

To make it fair, can we run a poll to see who wants to keep or get rid of the humour section. I for one want to keep it. I see it as a mainstay of this forum.
I have a feeling that of those people who want to get rid of it, most would be the ones to hide in the corner when it comes to volanteering, and not put their hand up when the suggestion is made.
It comes to the old adage, If you like it, don't look at it.

Keep it.

I'm putting the challenge out to the members pf this forum. If you don't like the Humour Section, voice your opinion on here, then go out and grow a sence of humour.

Maby the people who are hiding in the corner because they fear they will be abused and told to grow a pair? People shouldn't be scared to voice their opinion if they find something they dont like. The response shouldnt be "grow a pair" and "if you dont like it then dont look". It should be a bit more friendly and understanding as we are all here as VW mates right?.....maby not.

I don't mind if the humor section stays or goes, most of the stuff from here is avaliable at orsm.net anyway.

I would like the motivational pics thread to stay, its a great larf.

Yeah, some of the stuff on here is probably taking things a bit too far at times(particularly for a car forum), so toning it down a tad would be a good thing.

Where abouts is the poll on keeeping or abolishing the humour section ? I'd certainly like to vote to keep it

I'd like to keep it.

I think a lot of its garbage, so i choose not to read it. but I dont deny others their right to read it.

i agree it needs to be in moderation as its a public forum, but I'd hope that those who do post unacceptable material will show a little respect to the others on the forum, and to the moderators so that they arent constantly barraged with clean up tasks and complaints.

Perhaps if certain members continue to post what the mods deem unacceptable then they are given a holiday

Ok, so maybe that "Grow a pair" call was a bit harsh, and for that I apologise. Bit it is definatly a case of "If you don't like it, don't look..."

Maybe we should put up a motivational poster type warning on the Humour Section title...

[Mrk_Mickey]

I agree with most here. Keep it clean, cos we're all still keen

Can we really keep going back to the "It's a VW forum so watch what you post in the Humour Section?" We have plenty of other sections dedicated to specific VAG models so as I see it, this section doesn't really have anything to do with them.

I love this section and would hate to see it go, so let's take that extra step, be a little more responsible (by warning others that the thread may be offensive, etc) and we'll get to continue enjoying it!

[Mr Messy]

I too love the humar section. I'd like to see not safe for work (NSFW) labels on more things, as many of us do have a cheeky peek while chained to a desk.

Also some things do go a bit far. The spocker for one.

And I think we can appreciate humour without it being racial.

[maca]

Oh so that's what NSFW means.. Even the humour section can be educational..

What's spocker?

[jasn78]

im in agreeance with 99gti here guys i lov the humour section but there is some stuff that is posted in there esp the motivational posters that borders on pornagraphic at times, and while i lov reading them it means alot of pple inc myself have to be careful where we read them. So I see no problem mods asking to keep it a bit cleaner so it cuts down on an already hectic work load for them, after all it is a free forum and they are doing a job they dont get any rewards for.

The humour section is one of the forums I always check out. The content is always interesting, the contributors often regulars, etc so it is obvious to me this is part of the communtiy that should stay - its working for VWW.

But use your wisdom to do whatebver is best, and occasionally call for restraint as is required.

We were only having this debate about 2 weeks ago weren't we?

[Mrk_Mickey]

We're having it on a weeklyish basis I reckon...don't worry. The rules get layed in place, then everyone slacks off, then the rules get laid back down, then everyone slacks off again. It's life, this is the ''laid back down'' stage
