ME Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Can we not have a separate "JOKES" section on PW for all the amateur comedians amongst us who think "General Banter" means "open mike at the Comedy Store". Surely there is a struggling comedians forum somewhere ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 There has been a great increase in the number of jokes posted on General Banter and they do push other threads off the front page, perhaps too quickly. We don't particularly want a separate Jokes Section , but we don't want to ban jokes , so its something we will have to keep under review.

I dont post jokes as I dont really think they work as well when written down in text. All the comedy greats were respected for their timing and delivery as opposed to the mechanics of the joke.

JohnGalway Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I see nothing wrong with jokes being posted in GB, I don't think we need a jokes section either tbh. Infact i'm off to post a few on it right now Perhaps if posters have more than one joke they can post all 73 in the one thread. I use the View New Posts option all the time on here so usually I don't miss any thread, but for anyone going through the site section by section I can see how it'd be annoying.

ME Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Yes spot on John, as you say we put up and say Jokes if people dont like Jokes why do they read then complain?? I didnt say that I dont like jokes OR that the GB section isnt the correct place for them. I like jokes when they are FUNNY. That is why I said QUALITY rather than QUANTITY in the sub-title. Some people are just cut and pasteing any old **** on here and calling it "funny joke" or ""great joke" as if that changes the fact they are ****. Surely if someone has already complained about your "jokes" before berettaman1 then the alarms bells should be ringing..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Maybe the trades description act should be applied ? Most of whats titled " Joke " aint Funniest thing I have read was Cranfields reply to this topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I think there should be a seperate section if only to keep the place tidy and uncluttered. I make no judgment on the quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I think there should be a seperate section if only to keep the place tidy and uncluttered. I make no judgment on the quality. Some of the "joke" postings have a title that you might think may be something worth reading, you open the post only to find out it is drivel - I could talk to my missus if I wanted that !!! A separate section would give people the choice to go there or not - rather than having to wade thru the endless rubbish that is posted under the guise of humour.

berettaman1 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Year your right guys, but if you dont like jokes then why have a look and then winge about them ?? there are lots of threads on this forum that I dont look at, because its about subjects I have no interest in . But I dont jump on their threads and complain about it!! I allways state, ( and others ) that its a joke!!! if you dont like jokes then why look in in and then winge? I rest my case, PS, no hard feelings guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Its a bit like me posting " Sexy girl in cammo gear " and including a pic of the lab in a cabelas coat. Its not personal b man its just that its gone from general banter to joke section and I use the term very losely. I dont read every thread then moan, I open general banter then go to another part of the forum. Fill yer boots, it makes you happy so why not ?

I rest my case, PS, no hard feelings guys. Yes, that would be a great argument IF TRUE !!! From the dates of 29-31st August you posted the following "jokes" NONE of which with the word "joke" in the title - SEEMS ABOUT RIGHT MAKE A SMALL FORTUNE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY RULES I AM A ALCOHOLIC MY FIRST LEGOVER When you post with titles like that it is can be difficult to tell whether it is going to be a joke or a plea for help. Believe me it is very frustrating for those of us who are not in institutions and or on strong medication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
