Why would a thread like this be closed?

From: Jesse Linden

This type of thread is not appropriate and does not provide any benefit to the Second Life community at large. Thus, it will be closed.


I am sorry Jesse, but I have been playing SL for a while, and I think that threads like this are entirely appropriate.

It is humor.

Humor plays a large part of my SL experience. I like to attach a prim penis to my forehead every so often.

If I enjoy humor and levity, do I not have a place on the forums?

Let's discuss, but try not to be funny about it.

I'm with you. Morse gave me the first laugh I'd gotten in the forums today. Considering all the flaming, huge shovels of poo being flung... anything that makes me laugh is a plus.

Anyone else tired to death of all this crap? I can barely stand to open the forums anymore. Someone can make a lot of $L if they pass out Cliff Notes on the 5 page hate threads too.

I should make a Nomex suit and pass it around.

It wasn't appropriate because it targeted two members of Second Life (you know that). I think I'm with Jesse on this one ...

It was, and I thought it was funny, but with all that's going on right now, I can understand why the mods are being careful. Probably best to give it a break and not to use certain specific names.

In other words, put "everybody" on ignore.... ;)

Hmmm..no clue why that would be closed. Perhaps we need a list of acceptable humor subjects. Is ostrich humor allowed..while homeless humor isn't? Can we make fun of how goofy looking and beady-eyed the President is, but not make fun of Philip's burnt toast fetish? Hmmm..it's all so confusing..

Unless I missed something that was edited out, I don't see it as talking about anyone specifically in any literal or inferred way. We are all dramasluts, especially YOU, LO!

Hmm..maybe I need to read it again. I thought it was very broad and general. :eek:

Oh ... then you missed it. There were 2 links -- well, 3 -- that brought you to a page where you could add Prok, Random, and blaze to your ignore list.

Ah, I am used to Jeska's excellent edit comments. Lo, I take it back. Your are a dramaslut AND an investigative journalist!

Sorry, Jesse. I just couldn't tell why this was not appropriate!

UCH, why does every conversation have to go back to the topic of Willow's ass?

I think we need a new forum for it.












































in the classifieds that is.

I agree, I think a humor forum would be an awesome idea!!

A place where Panda and friends can post all day. I think that would be very very cool.

Brilliant suggestion, Panda!

That thread was not appropriate (humor aside) because it was obviously targeted at specific individuals. It is the equivalent of pouring salt in the wound of a sensitive forum issue I think the great majority of forum participants would like to simply see come to an end.
