Guess the mods stopped LOLing, huh?

Then I suggest you nix the LULZ and gif thread... No worse....

how many people?

 

just curious... wondering how many complainers it takes to ruin it for everybody.

[Genesee Ted]

The spoilers and warnings should have been enough, but the only reason shitLike that gets shut down is because people complain about it. I don't mean that to offend anyone who complained, but let's just all assume that everyone here is a bit less thick skinned than you might think

I get that, but didn't that thread have like 3.2 bajillion warnings on it?    

 

Something about this reminds me of people who pay $12.95 for Cinemax, watch it on purpose at 2am, then write a letter to Comcast about the smut they're selling... I'm just sayin.

[Genesee Ted]

Technically there were warnings. Meh. Are many of those jokes tasteless. Yes.

[Stains_not_here_man]

I guess I'll defer to the Mods' judgment, on account of how super impossible it is to offend me.

The code of conduct says that it's okay to post skin pics, to a point, as long as you put a NSFW tag on the thread. It doesn't say that it's okay to post, say, racial slurs as long as you tag the thread. It says it's not okay, period.

Appreciated and I will say that some of the butthurt include some of my favorite posters, not to name names, so let's just let it lie

Well If thats the case then why the word filters? Just for funsies?

I have no insight on the motivation of the mods as I posted my position publicly, but warnings in a thread title don't grant immunity to the content. To me this isn't about being offended, it's about being associated with some of the racist shit that was posted in there.

pretty much.

 

I'm not one to complain, but I will say there has long been a pattern of "the rules don't necessarily make sense and you just have to hope not to run afoul of the mods in a bad mood" here.  Not saying this situation applies, but saying that this does happen.  I understand how it is, let's just say it's not how I'd run things necessarily.

So, Frank posting chick pics is ok because why? I mean there is a NSFW tag in the title which there was in the joke thread as well. If you dont like it dont view it. Simple as that...

[Stains_not_here_man]

 If you dont like it dont view it. 

 

this is where I fall on this issue myself...

While I don't disagree entirely, for the sake of conversation I will just put this pit there. These are jokes playin on common stereotypes. As someone who understands that, I find these jokes comical in the sense that it makes fun of people who hold these stereotypes.Fwiw, the most complained about joke in that thread was about Jewish noses. The first ten times or so I heard that j
