I was going to leave this, but in light of recent posts, have decided that I should air what I consider to be a genuine my grievance.
Recently I had a post entitled "Updated Cludeo" deleted from Other Websites, Jokes and Fenlanders Crap. I have refrained from posting the picture here, but basically it showed three cludeo cards - one of Michael Barrymore, one of a sex toy and one of a swimming pool.
I was not even given the courtesy of a reason, it was just summarily
deleted.
Now I assume it was delete because of it's "adult" nature. Now if accept that, how is it that the following posts were allowed.
Rectum Stretcher
NEVER tell a woman she can't cook
These are real trees.
I would be grateful for an explanation and for other members views on what I consider to be total inconsistency.
-
My guess by your desciption was because there was a person inolved
-
I didnt see your post H, but cant think there is anything funny about mr Barrymore a sex toy and a swimming pool. especially as the case is still going through the courts and parents are fighting for justice.
The these are real trees thread was pictures of real trees, yes some parts of the trees looked like willies, but hardly p0rnography.
Willy on a barbecue, do you really think that was bad?
Kids today know more about the human anatomy than we ever did, and are far more comfortable with it than their parents are today.

Thank you for the reply Tink. I'll wait for other members views before responding.

Ok fair play H, I would also be interested to see other peoples views myself, I could be wrong.

8)But the Willy on the barbeque was a real image of a Willy, and they were no black puddings attatched to it.
Personally I did'nt like that post either, I dont know what the response was to it.
I did'nt mind the trees, they were funny,
And as far as Barrymore goes if you hav'nt heard a joke about that before now, you must have been on another planet, I've had loads on my mobile and my guess is so have many others.
But I do see the point about it being a real person, another case of one mans meat, and not on the barbi. ;)

H
This may suprise you, but could it be that it wasn`t funny. :D
-
Seen it before it got deleted John and, I must admit, I thought it was a bit inappropriate.
Poor taste? Yes. Amusing? Yes (depending on your sense of humour!). But suitable for on here? No.

Can't comment as I didn't see it either H but there is an adult jokes section for this sort of thing.
:D
Anne

I think Anne has hit the nail on the head, my post may have been better placed in the adult section. This may have been bad judgement on my side and for that I will apologise.
The point raised about real people is a good one, I too Laffa have had many texts of jokes regarding real people, only those joke pay reference to today's issues like, 'Maddie' and 'Mike Reid' etc. Sick? yes of course but people are different and do not necessarily share the same sense of humour. I would not attempt to post such so called 'jokes' so I think that the real people argument, would stand with me.
I for one found the 'Tree' post mesmerising and amazing, it was funny and artistic and not at all disturbing.
As for the BBQ picture, you should see what I serve up!! ;)
-
I didn't see the joke but I agree with Anne - there is an adult section and members should be able to tell what constitutes 'adult jokes' and what doesn't.
As for the other jokes not being deleted - I've just been on that section and realised that it has no moderation at the moment - so we can't do anything about it until Keith comes on line.
The rectum joke, in my opinion, should be in the adult section. I've just seen it and it's a bit too graphic for my liking. Also the use of the F word (blanked letter or not) is inappropriate, in my opinion.
Stoop
ps - Fletch - if you can move it to the adult section that would be appreciated. Cheers Stu :)
-
in fairness to Fletch, he did ask me to move it but cant remember the password
Tink

I have deleted content and topic header.
I just hope that Leeds get stuffed in their next game!! ;):D
Fletch - you can live and hope ;)
Thanks. I appreciate your help.
-
I think Fletch`s post is tame in this day and age, I`ve heard worse from kids walking down the street.
Crabbit
-
I agree Crabbit but not all kids are the same. It only needs to upset one child or parent to be deemed inappropriate.
-
Well it appears to be hands up time again.
John H's post summed up the consensus of opinion. It seems that the majority of replies thought my post was inappropriate and would have been even if I'd posted it in the Adult Section. I'm happy to accept the Forum's verdict.
I am heartened however that other members thought as I did that other posts were more suitable for the Adult Section.
Apologies for any offence caused.

Whether or not that is true, does not mean it should have been allowed in the Other Websites, Jokes and Fenlanders Crap in the same way as my own wasn't.

H
Have look through my jokes, some are a lot worse than that one.

Cest la vie, Crabbit. End of my contribution here - life's too short :)

Oh I don't know, life seems to drag at times on the forum! ;) lol
