    Can I get an answer please?
    I've asked around and met a wall of silence.
    I'm curious, is all...

    I'm outraged, 'Finish my Sentence' should have been closed instead!

    That was an enjoyable thread. It showed we weren't too PC to have a little fun, too.

    I'll admit I didn't read it that often, but what's the cesspool for, if not the most offensive jokes ever thread?

    personally i would like to see it reopened but when you have someone as morally upsatnding as james as supermod and there are all sorts of racist/pedophillic jokes going i would hardly call it surprising

    Well, it's not surprising if it's supposed to be 'the most offensive jokes'.

    What kind of idiot removes the offensive jokes thread? I guess the kind of idiot that doesn't mind a more peripheral approach to where offensive jokes go i.e., places where offensive jokes are not tolerated. Oh wait, maybe he's not an idiot after all. Perhaps that was the intention of some brilliant, elaborate ploy to have us reveal our true neuroses.

    I find my purpose here is fleeting the more I stay away from "green influences".

    I have no idea who it was.. obviously it had to have been a supermod or an admin. But why is this just now coming up? It's been locked/deleted/whatever for a long time.

    I don't get it. How is the "offensive jokes" thread any worse then the "why are girls so stupid" thread. Jeez. The priorities of these damn moderators.

    It really depends on who is doing the moderating.

    Personally, I think the Most Offensive Jokes thread was fine. All the bad humor could stay in one place. I don't know who closed it or why. The "why girls are so stupid" is open just because it's a "free thought." There are off-color jokes in there, yes. Maybe I'll move it, maybe I won't. A few looks at that thread makes me laugh.

    Everyone has to remember that all the mods/supermods/admins are volunteers. We don't have a comprehensive list of ways we can all be consistent in moderation. There are a few rules here and there about what we can and cannot do, but for the most part we each do what we think needs to be done.

    Boo hoo hoo, excuses, excuses. I expect all our mods to be entirely consistent and furthermore: superhuman.

    I think it was because someone said something funny.

    You think this is funny MetaKron?


    I'm the idiot who closed the thread.
    In addition, if you want to analyze what kind of idiot I am, I'll send you my detailed profile by PM! Ok?

    Cesspool forum is created as an alternative for silly, stupid, rubbish threads.
    Instead of that we could just delete them. That would be much easier for mods and admins.
    But no, we decided to keep them.

    Sometimes those threads cross the line and this was the case with this thread.

    This is an example:
    When someone type some sick, pervert or twisted term in browser, that will now lead him/her to SciForums. And this is not what I want for this place.

    This is scientific forum, place for intelligent discussion, as you all know, and it's no place for such rubbish, no matter how open-minded we all are.

    I'm not against this thread, but it crossed the line. That's the reason why it's been closed.

    If someone doesn't like this idea, feel free to walk out.
    We don't need sick and pervert individuals here.

    Anyway, you have bloody sequel of that thread here, so you could continue posting, instead of whining.

    P.S.

    cat666 I know who you are. Next time try to post with your real user name. If you have guts, of course!
