I am assuming Should ugly people be allowed to breed? passed the TiBB Towers quality filter for a fine good debate.

I was just thinking that, that thread is much more offensive tbh because it is hard to classify what is ugly and what isn't.
The stuff in the closed thread was just part of an ongoing joke.
What's next, censoring of the words Josef and Fritzl?

The smokers thread was highly insulting too. In fact Kareeza's threads seem purpose built to cause offence. Not that I want them closed. But it's going back to what Tom said about consistency. If your going to close his thread on some moral highground then clear up the other ones too. Otherwise let people have their jokes. You don't need to worry about the sites reputation looking bad - because it's shocking anyway. I doubt would be members are going to suddenly turn away because of a Josef Fritzl thread, and not oh say the illiterate twelve year olds you happily let stalk your forum.

If that happens I will get a group together to rebel.

I swear these days the mods have some kind of lottery machine and they randomly pick out a thread to lock every now and again

Its more erratic than Kerry Katona's appointments with her psychiatrist.

I knew this topic would be started the moment I closed that thread. But I don't need to defend the decision to close it because the reasons are self-evident. A lot of people would find making jokes about that case in very bad taste, and off-putting to the forum

That's a stupid thread, to be honest, but not nearly as offensive.

In your opinion, of course.

You seem to be in the minority.

Over the top jokes about serial racists can't really cause offence due to the over the top nature. Kareeza's threads however are incredibly insulting to any rational human being.

Seriously dude, if any member wants to join TiBB, Fritzl threads are going to be the least of their worries.

Why isn't every other Fritzl thread stopped then? The entire reason for that thread was part of the on going joke- something EVERYONE on TiBB is aware of. This place is becoming too PC.

And if you think thats offensive, maybe you ought to get a tighter grip on the forum.

Because James personally does not find them funny. Which is perfectly fair.

What's not fair is threads with no brutal arguments getting closed based entirely on his sense of humor.

I don't find it funny = I close it.

Oh well. Joys of being an admin.

Can't say I have noticed anybody else doing it but that's just my opinion. Seems whenever he moderates something, everyone complains.
