If this joke was at issue then it woiuld probably have been moved by a moderator. As to your point about the real-world so to speak, we do try and set an example of how the real-world could be if people were a little more civil to one another not how it is now.
Believe me, I respect you termemdously for that. Ihave had PM conversations with the moderators in/re this exact issue, and have found everybody to be intelligent and reasonable. So, whatever guidelines are in effect, I shall happily follow them.
Yeah, I've had PMs with you in the past.
Since this has become more of an issue than it has before, I suppose we ought to address this and clarify the guidelines. In my opinion, if the joke actually touches on references to specific, obvious acts (not intimate relations in general) or to specific parts of the anatomy and/or their functions, it crosses the line. Even if the language is clean and even if the innuendo is sly enough that a child is less likely to get it, it shouldn't be posted here (again, IMO) if it's the type of joke that would appear in National Lampoon, Hustler, or Playboy. Same goes for the general tone of conversations. The racy comments need to be limited to private chats, not the public forum, and flirtations kept to minimal compliments and non-sexual references.
As always, if you see something in a post that disturbs you that we may have missed, please feel free to PM one of the mods or admins.
