What do you mean by strict? Not allowing sick jokes? Maybe cos not everyone wants to put up with them. It's in the rules,no one has suddenly got any stricter.

No, not that, I'm over that.

Just all these threads being closed and people receiving infractions for making 'sexual' poems, as a joke.

It'll come to the point where any form of banter is banned.

Most of the time these things are moderated because somebody has reported it. You should see my email inbox - most of the emails I get are reported posts from TiBB.

So if somebody reports something, mods/admins automatically have to close/delete the thread and hand out infractions, because somebody said it offends them?

Pretty much . It comes down to our discretion, obviously, but if somebody's complained, it's our duty to react to that.

Well, not really...because we do get a lot of ridiculous reports...like when BB is on, some people feel the need to report people if they say they dislike a housemate.

But if something is reported and we feel people could take offense, the thread can be closed/infractions given

Certain people take things way too far. The mods have to act, they have a duty to do so.

You shouldn't take things personal, if you do wrong then you live with the consequences not just on this forum but in life as a whole. Some people need to realise that some things they may find funny, not everyone will. That's it really. I don't think the mods/admins ban without reason, I've had my far share of bans believe me. I know my limits though.

It's not even anything to do with me this time, just other people.

Like that Tsunami thread that Tom made. Yeah, sure, some people didn't agree that they were disappointed, but I don't see why that's a reason for a thread to be closed. It's a debate...

A debate whether people were disappointed that a huge disaster hadn't happened? Can you honestly not see how that isn't offensive??

See the points me and Tom made in the thread, because no one's saying that they were disappointed that thousands of people weren't killed.
