Tacit ApprovalFollow

So i finally crossed the line and got a post put sub default by Kaolian because it was to far across the line for OOT forum:

You have to click sub default for rating filter in order to see first post, Kaolian used his admin privileges to make post sub default without messing with my Karma.

The Post

Since it wasnt technically removed and no karma lost also since Kaolian told others how to get to it would that constitute tacit approval of my off colour jokes?

First off, thank the gods for Merriam-Webster Online. Smiley: grin

I wouldn't so much say approval as I would say Kao was showing leniency. It was all in the spirit of good humor, however it apparently crossed the line that separates OoT from the Asylum.

I personally found the "still birth" one disturbing and not the least bit funny, but all in all it was still in the context of the original thread.

My theory on it is this. OOT is the "be nice to kittens and small shrubs" forum, so the people reading in there are more likely than not to find those particular jokes offensive. then again, if they have the rating filter set below default, that means they explicitly want to see everything, regardless of what people have rated it.

Doesn't really mean I approve or disapprove of it, it jsut means that it was in OOT and might cause problems, so it went under the filter. Post the same jokes in the asylum, and they won't be dropped

Nothing to be sorry about. Was just the wrong forum for it is all. Look at it this way, you got a few free posts out of it!

Sorry Jophiel, I edited post mainly because im still hoping that Kaolian will give me that long promised sage status (im a karma ***** i know im sad). Though if the public demands it i will be more than happy to post jokes on this thread since im allowed to.
