Same here, but I also understand the reason it has been locked. Hopefully the lesson has been learned, and it will soon be unlocked

Its a tough one as some of us in different time zones did not see what had gone too far. Hopefully anyone who pushed the envelope beyond humour into what the majority consider bad taste or offending public decency, or breaking the law has been informed. The mods cant be expected to watch all the time and we get a lot of leeway on topics for a watch forum so we should all respect that.

Got a new 24 hour watch yesterday and it’s already broken. It only lasted a day.

Can we ask why it’s been locked?

Read the last post on that thread. Ash explained why he locked it.

Many enjoy this thread, and I suggested a “header” which appears at the top of each page, reminding posters what goes, and what doesn’t. Don’t know if that even can be done.

I think it was because the jokes posted by a certain fox were so bad the mods had no choice. 😉

Hey listen, mine weren't crude, just childish and clever. There's a difference😜😎

I miss the thread. And FYI, none of mine were removed.

In the meantime though, I've got a big ole bucket full, ready for yucks and giggles.

I was going to start a new thread called "Humour thread (not for jerks)" so we could keep out the riff raff...

Interesting dynamic. This is like the Inception of the Jokes thread: a Jokes thread within a Jokes thread. Speaking of which…

My humour memes are spilling out of my bucket and all over the floor. The splashing may catch the computer screen here....

As we look to remove bad stuff from the net (noting some bots and disrupters put bad stuff up deliberately these days to stop us fair minded folks communicating normally:0) can we do anything about the fake adds. Is it google or the interweb or ? facilitating possible scams….
I saw this one today and clicked through from OF just to check it out. Another get poor quick scheme ….
It’s funny how some things just get normalised and enabled by big tech…and we are not outraged ;0)

It’s the scammers buying Google ads. Not much you can do. Sites that run ads can choose things they don’t want shown but it’s up to the algorithms so crap can make it through. Normally I’d say use Ad Block or the Brave browser that blocks everything by default. OF is the only place I appreciate enough to say pay the $50 to support the site and go ad free.

How about “Community Governance?”

Let’s face it: this is a watch forum. The Jokes thread has a lot of positive attributes for everyone, but it really is too much for the Moderators to be on top of every post, checking what’s appropriate, and what’s not.

I don’t know the technology enough on this forum to determine if a “header,” can be attached to the top of each page, that outlines the parameters of joke posting.

In lieu of that, what about the regular joke posters agree, as a group, with the Moderators, on a list of rules and regulations for posting, that we cut and paste from a template to the top of each new page as it occurs. Anyone can do it, it’s whomever sees the new page first.

I think this would cut down significantly on the occurrence of inappropriate posts. What say you all?
