Agree with much of what you say Phil, but the joke was a sexual one. It has been mentioned before that some members view the forum with young children looking over their shoulder, and I would imagine Daz had that in mind when he binned it.
It certainly cant have been that Daz, was personally offended as I have heard some of his jokes - more a responsible admin head on rather than what he would personally laugh at imo.

While I would broadly agree with you Albs, & I have no problem at all with what Daz did as an Admin, I have to question why anyone would allow young children to be present while browsing Gen Dis, as a lot of posts have questionably language, albeit lightly disguised to bypass the Forum Robot Killjoy! Some would argue that this is a 'Family' Forum? I for one do not, it is a Forum for Adults by Adults, and whilst that doesn't mean we should allow it to descend into the Gutter, neither does it mean we should allow ourselves to stifle the unique British sense of humour which has always been risque, as near the knuckle as you can get without breaking the skin and totally irreverent to all & sundry, regardless of Race, Creed, Colour, Political or Sexual Persuasion, and long may it be so imho! 

i agree. i have posted piccies which, at that moment in time have fitted the discussion ... however , they can be viewed at any time of the day.

I do agree with alot you have just posted. I do think it is an adult site myself (although some of you don't act like it sometimes  ) I personally would read something first to see if it passes my filter before allowing our daughters to read or look at something.
I find all sorts of things funny, at a Meet or to someones face I swear, take the sap and would laugh at things on here I would delete.
As to why I deleted the picture was not because children may see it that never entered my head, but not sure what everyone one would think of it. The amount of times we have members telling us that certain posts are not right would suprise you.

Actually 'Pinky'  , I found the picture in poor taste personally  .  Being an ardent 'Royalist' (HM the Queen has been the very epitomy of Sacrifice, Service, & Duty) and having taken an Oath of Allegiance to Her & the Crown in my youth, it still stands today.

I am also a Royalist mate, it wasn't for me either.
But that was not my reason

I know that Daz, & respect the difficulty of being 'Piggy in the Middle' that you tireless & selfless Moderators have in making these often very fraught decisions 
I still think you did it out of devilment tho'

I imagine this was the image that's all over t'internet.. which was mildly amusing.

Though I was much more amused by the pictures on the BBC news website, in particular the flower bearer who looked like she had more in common with Damien than of being an angelic vision to accompany the procession.

You know the one I mean.. the one with her hands over her ears and the look on her face that just says "I want to stamp my feet and complain to mummy that I do not want to be here!" (which is a look she was wearing in every picture I saw..)

That amused me. But then I'm like that (and not a fan of kids!)

That was pure and genuine from a young girl who did exactly what she thought... it was very loud and she put he hands over her ears, that really made me laugh, also so did the Newly Weds 

[Martian]

I wish you well with your treatment and your success
I can also understand now how you deal with your ordeal.

Good Luck My Friend 

Daz

Even though I'm halfway through the course, I don't think it has fully sunk in just yet how serious my condition is. On the plus side, both my surgeons are confident I will make a recovery so that's good enough for me.

My GP won't let me work (or drive) at the moment because the cancer was bringing on "abscence seizures", hence my siggy about doing what I want and having all the time in the world to do it.
Still, she is confident that things will be back to normal in that department once I've had the op.

As far as I'm concerned the glass is still half full though, and it's filling up nicely so far 


PS
Thanks for your thoughts

[TheBoy]

We have always set OOF up to be welcoming to everybody - families, women, children, non-UK residents etc.

As Darth Loo-knee says, whilst we may find some jokes and pics funny, we are obliged/mandated to remove ones we think could cause offence - generally those categories Daz mentioned earlier.


I missed the original post, but think I can guess it was one I received via email on Friday, and if it was, it did make me snigger, but unsuitable for here



Martian - all the best with your recovery, from your posts, its sounds pretty good news, lets hope it stays on track

presumably those reading the increasingly puritanical oof with children looking over their shoulder will never have read a book with mature themes, or read a paper, or watched a film, or had a conversation or told a joke because of this either?

this isnt a kids forum so why do we all have to sanitise it in case someones little darlings read it? seems to me the parents of the little darlings have a responsibility as to what they're allowed to watch, not everyone else
