Sense of humour absent on BE

[Adam]

Who is editing shouts in the shoutbox?

What was wrong with my comments

1 Venus Williams into the Aussie Open Final - The Donald Trump making America great again.
2 Now Serena joins her sister in the final President The Donald Trump - Making America Great Again

The making America great again was deleted by someone other than myself.

How is that offensive in any way?

It is a joke, it is English sarcasm. I am relating the success of the Williams sisters to Trumps election. No need for it to be deleted.

IT IS A JOKE, maybe not hilariously funny, but a joke none the less.

Adam ... both of your Shoutbox references to "Make America Great Again" are still there and visible on my BE Shoutbox ?

What are you smoking ... and where can I get some ?

In Adam's defense, a lot of things have been disappearing.  Such as:

-Global Warming Thread
-  Funny Photo Thread
- I started a thread on a Bangkok Delivery food service last week, gone without a trace or explanation
-  My shout comment with a link for Nookie to buy a Master Baiter shirt.   

The current term being used in the US is Snowflakes, guess we cannot upset them.

We have a report system. Posts get reported. we check it and decide.

We explain already that funny photos deleted was a mistake.

Global warning I'm not sure. Will look. I do remember that many posts were not on topic.

You may have hit the nail on the head Adan when you identified the fact that it might actually have to be funny to qualify....................


(Note...... more British sarcasm)

At least BE isn't adding Ad-blocker detection with a 30 second timeout to it's system

Mod,

Have you deleted posts and not told the poster? 

Furthermore, have you deleted threads and not told the initiator? 

[Adam]

The shouts are back now in full.

But both were missing Making America Great Again from the shout.

1 Venus Williams into the Aussie Open Final - The Donald Trump making America great again.
2 Now Serena joins her sister in the final President The Donald Trump - Making America Great Again

The rest of the shout was there.

If the whole of the comment was missing, or a random part of one, but the same phrase from two separate comments. It just seems odd to me.

Whatever, they will vanish in a day or so anyway.

It seems that Mod will delete posts he deems offensive.

Please read my post. There is report button. We deleted what is reported. It is not about what we think. We are not English first language speakers. We listen to members.

It is not about us and whats we don't like.

Please read everything before say something bad about us.

Thank you.

So if I decide I don't like something and report it, it gets deleted? A minimum of three reports, I should have thought, as well as a message/warning to the poster would be in order?
We do appreciate your work, Admin, we wouldn't be using the forum if we didn't.

The problem was exactly the same when Almog was in charge..........Not understanding English Humour.

[Ahab]

English humor is an absolute oxymoron.

You are clearly confused mate

As Davu says, more than one report should be required before deciding something is offensive or inappropriate.
It's probably the same person reporting every time.
Perhaps he'd like to own up and state what his problem is. (it's doubtful)
