I must admit I don't think DS is a place for offensive jokes.
If it was up to me I'd wipe 'Chatter' off the face of the earth.
This used to be a good forum, with good discussions. Now more often than not a thread seems to be either a big joke, a nasty attack on somebody or just irreverent nonsense, attention seeking or trolling.

What's wrong with irreverence or not taking certain things - not everything - seriously?
It's "General Discussion", ffs. And different things make people laugh. As someone pointed out earlier, they tried to start a "most inoffensive jokes ever" thread. But it failed as there always seems to be something that offends everybody. General Discussion doesn't necessarily always have to be doom'n'gloom'n'misery & highbrow stuff. Our lives are bloody hard enough as is, why can't we have a bit of whimsy & irreverence at times?

Oh who am I kidding. I've got an effing shop on there. I tried Vosne's Varicose Veins - touch 'em for a fiver, ten for a lick - but it didn't seem to take off
dear ds , ,,,, i realise that this is a family site ,,, but is there anyway in which you could impliment an adults only room. ? ,, with id checks etc if necessary etc .
the taking down of miss pino's '' offensive jokes'' thread was a shame , ,,, i realise why you had to close it obviously as a lot of minors read your site etc,,,
surely it wouldn't be too hard
What the HELL's with all the commas? Only one at a time,ever. You can do ......if you like, but just single commas please and thanks.

Or is that banned too?
Well, there is nothing wrong with it per-sey.. hence why 'Chatter' exists!
At one time the bullshit was confined to there. Now it seems to spill out into GD regularly.
I come here for intellectual stimulation (believe it or not! *eye-roll*). DS: GD used to be a great place for a serious, interesting and intellectual discussion. I swear there used to be more intelligent liberals around here as well.
Now half the posts are reminiscent of MailOnline comments. This place has seriously slid, relatively to how it used to be.
DS has always been (or at least used to be) a fairly 'grown up' and in some places a very intensely technical forum.. but now..
Don't get me wrong, it's not entirely the fault of the posters. Hearst has done its best to rebrand DS into something more reminiscent of the same mass-media sludge as seen everywhere else.

You've got to make the veins stand out a bit more.With a pic.

My phone does that, there isn't a full stop unless you go into 'symbols' so it takes bloomin' ages to make a post. Maybe that's why? as commas are easier than fullstops.

It would be funny...:D
No, you can't. I have standards \/

I'm not seeing the problem
Meh.. it's a time thing.
A few years ago I used to enjoy posting here. Now it feels like people do one of two things:
or
Come of it...there's never any real fights on here. They get stomped on in a nanosecond.
Maybe there should be a kiddie room for them where they can joke about poo and other peoples misfortune.
Maybe no single person who doesn't own the site or is employed by the owners gets to decide what's offensive
Well, 'fight' is probably a strong word.
Another way of putting it is 'acting like a knob'
We already know that.
I presume this thread was a suggestion thread.

I think you're taking things too seriously.

I'm not going to be the one responsible for corrupting your innocent mind.:D

Absolutely 100% untrue.
But I make no apology whatsoever in not finding the misfortune of innocent people, comical.
