In order that we don't cross the line, could we please have the definition of an inappropriate joke?

Here a start which for me is good enough.

Not really Mike, many jokes involving race would probably be deemed suitable for family viewing.  Its a minefield tbh, usually defined by what is considered presently appropriate or not, and how sensitive the race/religion involved is perceived as being by whomever is responsible for policing the matter - on this forum or elsewhere.
For example - since Daz posted regarding racist jokes not being tolerated, there have been many Irish jokes and probably a few Scottish and Welsh jokes posted. These go unmentioned, but I would imagine jokes which mentioned skin colour  or religions other than Christianity would probably be deleted quickly. Its a funny old world sometimes. :-/

It is a minefield... ::)
We are at our caravan site and on Saturday night there was an 'old skool' comedian on, you could see how he was 'testing' the audience, who were all up for anything (average jo public from wide area) and was a cracking night... :y :y He did keep things low keyed or over the heads of kids, who were present, we had a great night. General opinion was that is was a shame that 'Old Skool' is generally considered not appropriate today and a great shame....
 :( :(
Different on here though, as you do not know who is one.... ::)
OOF wise fair enough, otherwise I need to bite my tounge.... :(

You finally admit that you are a joke, and an inappropriate one at that. ;D

Adding to this thread regards another thread ages ago.  Can we go back and add joke or NWS if the title requires it of add a suitable smiley indicating (to a degree) that what is about to be read is a joke.

Newbied on the site wont be aware of the old problems with jokes.  It's just that some members have kids in thier pressence and jokes are bot allways suitlable eith kids or pertners in the same room. some are ment no more than a joke but are sometimes talen seriously and others are picture jokes which sometimes are not suitable for family viewing or at work viewing.
