Some Funnies

[Alex Blair (RIP)]

Alex a question for "#3" member. If it was Hanno, who has cautioned in this forum before about being borderline, who posted the caution would you have questioned it?

Of course..
As a moderator you have a responsibility to edit out any posting that would not be in at least good taste around the shop full of drunken CMP, tin beaters..
So given that responsibility,or should I say "Having volunteered for "that responsibility ,it is also your duty to enforce the rules,whatever they may be..
That we all understand ,and In my estimation ,you are perfectly with in your rights to caution the forum..or at least remind the members to Keep it at least somewhat civil..

Would the odd descriptive adjective with a wild card in it to indicate a missing letter that would complete the spelling of an offensive or objectionable word pass muster..ie. FU*K...or would %$##*^%$@ be more acceptable..??

And what is acceptable to you. does that reach consensus with the other moderators or members at large.??

When you made the original posting about objectionable postings,one should state what is or isn't objectionable and clarify your posting..
That is all I was getting at..
As for a family site..maybe we should rate it PG14...
But then we are opening up a whole bag of worms...MLU forum..XXX rated..??
Geez..that would be a stretch..
So as long as you are clear I believe that we can keep this forum going with out the dreaded word
CENSORSHIP....

Alex MLU is censored, it can not be accessed on school computers because it has the word GUN in its pages so when Greg wanted to access MLU for a history asignment he needed a teachers overide to get in.

HR..
Didn't know that..Canada may do that too in the schools..Haven't been in one for 200 Years ,but seem sensible..my wife was a teacher and they would put the kids in detention just for one kid pointing his finger at another and saying "bang"..
[I]/I]instantly..

Cliffy is right to edit out offensive words in postings unless it changes the jist of the posting..
We got some pretty gross people on line..
That is the moderators job..
But taking it too far either way will get more than one reaction..

Alex if you or others reading these jokes cannot see the reason for me reminding posters that this is a family site by reading the few jokes posted just before the reminder then you should not laugh at them!

As to checking with other moderators first I am sure they would PM me off line asking what is up if they did not approve of my moderating style! plus this defeats the the task of been able to moderate instantly so you may as well have only 1 moderator.

As to giving long winded explainations to any moderating done as a volunteer I have only a certain amount of time and I don't think any member of this forum is so dim witted not to see my reasoning.

As to taking things too far I concider now this subject (my moderating) has gone far enough and I will not reply again!

Do you F**King understand?

PS> I laughed at the jokes concerned but did concider them better suited to a drunken party with folk who have RAT syndrome rather then posted on a family site.

A grizzled old man was eating in a truck stop when three Hell's Angels bikers walked in. The first walked up to the old man, pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie and then took a seat at the counter.

The second biker walked up to the old man, spit into the old man's coffee and then he took a seat at the counter. The third walked up to the old man, turned over the old man's plate, and then he took a seat at the counter.

Without a word of protest, the old man quietly paid his bill and left the diner. One of the bikers said to the waitress, "Humph, not much of a man, was he?"

The waitress replied, "Not much of a truck driver either. He just backed his truck over three motorcycles."

Gentlemen,
Thank you for your discussion, which I, for one, would like to consider now "closed". I, too, have been cautioned by a moderator when a joke has pushed the boundary... Let's move on & bring this thread back to what it's intention was... to bring a grin to the lips, and spread a little fun. THAT is a big part of what this forum is all about!
