This is getting tiresome.

[Erik Mesoy]

The following quotes are anonymised to prevent this being a user-specific thread, but I'm really tired of mildly pornographic-themed spam in so many threads.

Thread: Are you religious?

im not, but i seem to be able to get girls down on their knees

Thread: Do you read lots of scifi and/or fantasy books[?]

i dont read anything, my hos read for me.

Thread: Why Don't Girls Play Computer Games?

they are to busy at my house

Thread: Are you a criminal?

stealing a girls virginity count?

Thread: What are the richest businesses?

my pimpen business, i rank up about 50G's in a given day and all i do is point at a corner and tell my ho to stand their.

I believe the forum rules about "obscene", "vulgar" and "sexually oriented" material should apply here, not to mention "spam".

Report the posts?

 

[Erik Mesoy]

Reported two of them already. Nothing happened, so I figured I'd ask why these as a whole aren't in violation of the forum rules.

 

[philippe]

same here with reporting DL's I noticed a certain Italian who already has made two DL's and after reporting them, no action was taken.

Yep. Misogyny and racism seem to be welcome to a degree here. Unfortunate.

Personally, I find them quite humourous. Clearly the person who made these posts is kidding himself, which makes it that much more humourous to see. Sure, it is vulgar, but it is hardly anything that I find offensive. Obviously, if it isn't contributing to the discussion at hand, it is a problem that needs to be addressed with a sincere approach, but hardly for the vulgarities.

Humor largely depends on setting.

These comments may be funny and appropriate in, say, a men's locker room or a frat house. But on a public internet forum populated to a degree by women and young people who lack the context or experience to understand the humor, they are inappropriate.

No, they are simply funny and harmless. To class a joke as pornographic when it is really just an innuendo is completely out of proportion.

No, it does not. Any humor in it is so low-grade, misogynist and derogatory that it's a step down from toilet humor.

Now, I could call anyone who disagrees with me a few derogatory names that are puns on their username, and insist that it's "funny" and anyone who complained would be hypocritical, but I won't.

To me, this isn't humorous innuendo. It's more like a set of serial lies, because it stopped being funny long ago. (Or if it's true, it's violative of a bunch of laws, breaking another forum rules.) It's so degrading that I find it morally offensive as well as unfunny and violative of forum rules.

You don't get it -- in their original threads I wouldn't have found them funny at all. But the way you put it up there and complained about them was just hilarious.

"pornographic" was not my choice of words.

Still, they are inappropriate.

 

[The Yankee]

Report 'em like I do. That would bring attention to them.

YESS!! Everything I report gets ignored. I find the misogyny and racism in this forum to be despiccable and even worse due to the compliance of the mods. Thats pretty sad when a Muslim has to mention this.

 

[Red Door]

I think we should allow more of it, to connect to the urban children. And then have a petting zoo so the urban children can connect to us.

 

[Ansar]

Honestly, I find them funny.

 

[GenMarshall]

I notice this myself, but allas, nothing has been done about it. Even if it's already been reported.

The low-grade sexual jokes don't bother me, but I have noticed the above quite often (and repeatably by the same user(s)).

At worst I'd consider the jokes spam/vulgar. At best I'd consider them useless.

The irony is that the community is so diverse, people often let things pass; what may be a jest in one region may be obscene in another. Also, you end up with 12 year olds who through profanity around as if it automatically results in humor. Lastfully, much posters don't imprint English in a benevolent way, and may thus believe bad words to be better than the profanity. (Yes, that last sentence was an exagerration, but compare at some of the grammar and spelling in Erik Mesoy's excerpts and the rest of this thread.)

EDIT: Also, I see a big difference between implication (quotes 1 and 3) and outright obscenity (2, 4, and 5).

IMO, the posts quoted are generally ignored by the community, and are quite harmless in the general scheme of the forum. OTOH, flame wars are frequently triggered in various threads by the same posters all the time, which results in a much more negaitve forum experience than the posts you have quoted.
