Humour now against forum rules

liamdubh · 2007-05-16 23:49:53

I made a harmless joke (and made it clear it was a joke) before making a serious reply. I think the Moderator is completely over the top in banning me for 1 month and he failed to quote the rule that was broken.

You said "humour" in the thread title. By definition, humour has to be funny. So what is your complaint, then?

Humour is relative to the person who reads/hears it. Don't be stupid.

Another Boards.ie mod on a power trip. What on earth is the ban for? I've read the charter. Are jokes now against the rules? You're a disgrace.

Absolutely, you are right. There is no sanity in us and we are not worth talking to.

.....

No spam, abuse, trolling, baiting, flaming or general muppetism. The making of potentially defamatory, off topic, disruptive statements such as incitement of hatred, bigotry, racism, sexism or violence is subject to alteration or deletion.

Overall, please keep things civil and amicable.

I think you broke the Charter in several places. Both the Pi mods and the Accommodation & Property mods have agreed (separately) that comments suggesting or inciting violence are not appropriate and off-topic as they are unhelpuful. Not only do they put the wrong idea is some peoples' heads as to what is acceptable, but it is disruptive to general discussion.

smccarrick had previously suggesting permanent bans for such posts.

No, funny is relative to the person who reads/hears it. Humour is funny. Don't drag up old threads.
