Inappropriate Jokes and blonde

[TightEnd]

Its sometimes a fine line as a moderator, not all decisions are clear cut.

One such example is jokes...what one person may find funny another may be offended by and it can be difficult to judge what is acceptable and what isn't.

I'm posting because I've deleted a series of "new" Mills/McCartney jokes that seem to have sprung up.

I chose to delete because I take the opinion, and i know tikay and the rest of the mods will agree with this, that jokes that make fun out of disability or are racist or sexist in tone are unacceptable on blonde.

I recognise that the Original posters are not out to offend and no offence has been taken by me as the moderator who happened to be online at the relevant time to deal with it.

Please use some discretion when considering posting jokes that are unlikely to be acceptable on here.


Thanks!

I agree with Tighty 100%.

From time to time, blonde Forum suffer personal attacks, usually on me, sometimes on the other Mods too, & invariably these include allegations that we are "wet", "soft", "goody two shoes", la de da de da.

Maybe we are. So what.

My thoughts & deeds, throughout my life, have been far from pure, & I have never been angelic by any standards. I've probably gambled more than any of you, had more relationships with females than most (I've always been single), done a little petty crime in my younger days, & done plenty of things I'm ashamed to admit.

But when we set blonde up, we decided we wanted it to be a "nice" place ("nice" - I can almost hear the smart-arses laughing already), where one & all could have a little fun, without seeing offensive stuff.

As a result, we have attracted a bunch of decent Members. Peeps who wish Members a Happy Birthday, congratulate someone who has cashed in a $5 tourney, Post pics of their kids.

And that's the way it's always gonna be on this site. Those who don't like it, well, you can please yourself. We ain't changing our position.

(Just out of bed here, & well grumpy, can you tell?).

I, the Stallyon, am fully aware of the damage humour can cause a person who find it an insult rather than as a joke....i've had quite a few posts that have been marked as close to the bone and subsequently deleted but can safely say...I have seen the error of my ways...long gone has the stallyon you once read about and abhorred.....long live the new Stallyon

Blonde has alot of members. Every week more join.  The forum must be doing something right.  When people join, they stay.  It is great that the forum is a growing community.  In some ways it is like an Ant colony.  We all congratulate each other, offer support and want each other to do well.  Long may it continue.  Being a goody goody isn't so bad.  It is better than being an arrogant prat.

I think the chances of Stallyon not saying something thats a bit to close to the line within the next 24hrs is next to nil.

Lets face it though, he is bloody genious, lol. I laugh out loud 5 times a day at your posts m8, especially the ones on P4C!

I think we need more mods, a lot of stuff is getting in under the radar and there is only Tighty, Robertfish and Red these days it seems.
Snoppy is busy, ditto anTikay, Heid seems to have disappeared and Kev is a fish.
