For those of you that persist in off colour jokes, it is not acceptable to post such crude jokes, that overstep the mark, on this board., or anywhere else on the TOGs boards. If you want to share such jokes, either use PMs or swap them in a private room of the CR. I've had a look at all of the arguments that were posted in reply to previous requests from Mick Strubs and Paul Z and none of them hold water. There are plenty of other websites where off jokes are swapped - why not use one of them, or even set up your own site with Proboards - it's free.Then you could post links to another board on this board, with a warning that the link is to a joke that some people might/will consider to be too crude, so that those of a somewhat tender nature will not read them.
This suggestion also has the advantage that, if you want to mix jokes and silly threads, no-one will ask you not to do so. You make up your own rules, apart from the restrictions on language imposed by Proboards. Perhaps I should add that all of the mods are understandably pretty fed up with being told how to run the boards by relative newcomers. They've all shown remarkable patience up till now, but I don't think it's fair to expect them to show such forbearance any longer.
I'm not suggesting anyone leaves the TOGs, but rather that you distance your OTT jokes from the TOGs' boards. Using links to a separate board will simply mean that you have to press one extra button to see or post such jokes, so it would be a small inconvenience for you guys, and would also end all of the petty bickering that has been going on in public and private for the last few weeks.
Since this is the third time that the the unacceptability of off jokes has been stated in public, if they continue to be posted on these boards, the mods will start handing out yellow flags, since polite requests obviously have little or no effect. I also advise anyone who feels like indulging in any more mod baiting to think again.
