    I just want to ask though, what does this part mean?

    ......we will report posts if we dont like them
    Wouldn't that cause extra work for you guys given the amount of content people can find "offensive"?

    Not at all, it give us a link directly to the ost in question and saves us having to troll every thread created.

    I would request the Mods don't pander to the loud minority, because if I was worried about who I would potentially offend in the course of a day, I'd never leave the house.

    The people who have complained are probably the same ones who bang on about road traffic noise after buying a house next to a motorway, or go into 7-11 and protest that there are adult magazines for sale too!

    If you visit the humour section, despite knowing it may contain bad swears and b( .)(. )bies, please don't complain when there are lots of other members who enjoy a laugh by reading this thread.

    If you know what's there and feel you may not like it, don't visit. You're adults, you have a choice. Exercise that choice for yourself, instead trying to remove other's right to choose.

    Pretty simple.

    Haha. So offended right there.

    Thanks for the clarification, 99gti.

    I'm actually surprised the mods even had to create this thread. I thought it was universally understood that the content on this thread is not intended seriously.

    Unfortunately, some people have little else to do but complain and due to the state of affairs the mods, really, LEGALLY have to show that they are doing the right thing.

    Thats right. Lets hear it for solicitors people!

    on the whole i enjoy the humor section,

    sure there is an odd post or thread or joke that is questionable everynow and then. But i can live with taht. I expect that some jokes i wont get, some i wont find funny and some will even offend me. but I don't take myself to serious, cause I realise, being in the humor section, it was meant as a joke.

    Just an observation here.. But about 1/3 of the posts in this thread alone are people taking the pi$$ out of eachother..

    Now, i think that's great. I really do. I believe humor brings people closer together..



    So here's a suggestion.. Hows about deleting the accounts of the people who continually complain and report harmless posts all the time, rather than deleting posts and threads the almost everyone on VWW gets a kick out of and keeps coming back for?
    Because lets face it.. We don't want or need to know them anyway!

    The humour section makes a lot of work for us and it's unfair the mods who do the most work also cop the most grief. People need to remember its a forum and we have to go with what the majority want. Once this has run it's course we may bring back from the dead the motivational posters.
