I was on here earlier and saw some jokes posted by madpup I believe it ws and thought they were absolutely hilarious. Didn't comment on them then and came back to comment now and they seem to have been gone?? Now I know this isn't a big deal to any of you but I know I am not getting that old now!!! Was there a joke thread posted by madpup about Little Billy' jokes?? Please tell me I am not going crazy,lol

Quite possibly but the thread was there.

Perhaps it was just a tad over the ******* line. ;)
 
It has been moved as it was deemed too far over the line to be shown on a family forum.

Polite notice to everyone...please be careful about what you actually post here as just recently there have been more and more stuff posted that is not suitable. If you would say it out loud around the dinner table at Christmas with the young ones and your great grandma then you are safe, otherwise save it for down the pub ;)
 
That will teach me to go out , turn my back for a minute & I miss all the good stuff :doh:
 
Awwww, are you kidding me, we can no longer tell an 'adult' joke in the "chit chat" area? I didn't find them too be that bad. :confused:


Oh well, at least I'm not crazy,lol :D

Cheers,

Jewel
 
Would you have told them to your children Jewel?

No I am not kidding
 
TBH It's all about striking a balance.

Overmoderate and it just alienates people.
Under moderate and we end up with a free for all.

The trick is, to find a fair balance, and sometimes it's hard.
With those jokes, while I personally didn't find them offensive, I like to think we have some mode of decorum (I think that's the phrase..lol), and they were quite close to the bone.
I doubt we have that many kids reading the forum, so I don't worry about these things from that point of view. My view is that if you can say it to your mother or grandmother, then it's OK to be put on here. (Swear words excepted of course).
 
personally, I'd be more concerned regarding the recent slagging off of other cameras than what is arguably good/bad jokes.

These types of threads tend to annoy just about everyone and can lead to flame wars of titanic proportions. They can also alienate a significant proportion of your readership.

The absense of these threads was one of the reasons I made a home here. For a multi-format forum it seemd remarkably free of this sort of dull "my cam is better than yours" threads. Imagine my disappointment to see two of them in as many days.

But I'm not a mod here so I'll shut it. :)
 
if you find a thread that you feel needs moderation, then hit the notify button, we will discuss it in our highbacked leather chairs whilst quaffing champers and smoking huge cigars....
 
Ah, I saw you more in a Jimmy Saville red chair ;)

Heh heh, yes I think someone slipped something in your tea Matty,lol :p

Steve your right I wouldn't have told those jokes to my kids. To be fair though I didn't think too many 6 and 8 yr olds had SLR cameras and hung out in Photography forums. ;)

I would have told them to my mother and grandmother though,lol ;) :D Ahh well. C'est la vie!

Cheers,

Jewel
