Are oddball, really strange and off the wall type of humor posts allowed? email this discussion to a friend?

vanbuchanan (28)   ranked 1 out of 6 in have sense of humor3 years ago

I have a really strange sense of humor. It is very difficult for me to do much of anything in life without the presence of said humor. Unfortunately I think I may have "accidentally":) offended someone here with this strange, off the wall and difficult to comprehend sort of Pythonesque spam spam spam if you will.

My question is this: If I'm unable to post without being extremely silly and/or irreverent will I be doobee doobee doomed to being instantly removed every time or was this just someone's opinion.

If that's the case, when post are created that really don't have much relevance to anything whatsoever AND they aren't funny in the least, should they be reported as spam?

Please answer quickly, easily offended individuals with no sense of humor may see this.

Also, if we're not allowed to be ourselves, no matter how annoying, I'm not so sure I want to be here--if you know what I mean.

Hi Van,

No I think its refreshing to have someone with a good sense of humor, I think too many people on here are uptight and get too serious sometimes. Im a sarcastic person and so I think I offend a lot of people too. I dont get much feed back on my comments lol

As long as it doesn't start the discussion, humor is allowed.
Think about it. It'd be pretty dry around here if it wasn't.

Serious discussion
- Serious response
- - Serious response to serious response
- Serious response 2
- Serious response 3

Or really its

Serious popular opinion discussion
- Bandwagon response
- Bandwagon response 2
- Bandwagon response 3

BORING!!!!!!!!!!

And yes Van, you'll find a few people, some of them who can't even post or argue worth anything, they love to get offended. They are not above hitting negative button to make your (soon to be) star rating go down, and some aren't afraid to hit the! button just to delete what you have to say.

I can think of a few users around here that tend to post some pretty humorous and off the wall discussions, and they seem to get away with it quite well. In fact, one of them I can think of is quite popular!

So you should give it a try!=)


myLot reputation of 70/100. theprogamer (7518)   ranked 2 out of 6 in have sense of humor  3 years ago

I know who you are talking about Lecan.
That member is pretty legendary.









I am of course talking about myself!!! XD
*Plays a recording of audience applause*

Yea! Thank you!! Thank you everyone!!!!!!


vanbuchanan (28)   ranked 1 out of 6 in have sense of humor  3 years ago

lol! thanks guys--you've made me feel much better--so the verdict is: fun, intercourse 'em if they can't take a joke. One question though, how many times can you have posts removed as spam spam spam before being--y'know--"stunned".:)


myLot reputation of 95/100. lecanis (7212)   ranked 3 out of 6 in have sense of humor  3 years ago

*giggles* Oh, of course you are legendary, programer!=p

Hmm, I have no idea how many times you have to have something removed... I haven't had too many removed to be honest. One in fact that I can remember. I guess I'm just lucky that way, because some of my discussions have been pretty bad. Usually in a kinky way rather than an "odd humor" way, but still!=p

I sure hope they're allowed, because if that's what you're going to post, then I want to be your friend! I love the absurd! (And, may I say, if that's you in your avatar, then you're pretty darn cute, too. Are you married?;o)


myLot reputation of 96/100. BarBaraPrz (3486)  3 years ago

Oh, and I just loove your creative use of language... Intercourse 'em, indeed!


vanbuchanan (28)   ranked 1 out of 6 in have sense of humor  3 years ago

Hey...thanks for the response. I've been hangin' out a bit more and I can see now that while most here are pretty much alright, there may be a few wandering around that need that "corncob removal surgery" more or less.

and yes...I'm married to my music:)

First off - thank you! And second - NO, you can post whatever you want as long as it's in the guidelines. If you offended someone, well they are the ones that choose to read your discussion so how can you offend a person that come up to you and wanted to hear what you said???

Another thing is you're new (welcome, by the way.) and people don't know your personality, please - don't hide it, it's that same as if you met someone on the street. An offhanded comment can be taken in the wrong way if you don't know a person's humor.

When you feel you have offended someone, then you are saying that you have a voice that doesn't need to be heard. Well, this is a forum (I've been reminded several times) so if you have something to share or comments to give you are entitled to those just as much as anyone else is.

I'll be looking back through this post you're talking about, but how can you offend someone when you are sharing a part of who you are???? That to me....seems kind of one sided. Welcome again.;-)


vanbuchanan (28)   ranked 1 out of 6 in have sense of humor  3 years ago

Thanks for the welcome.

Yeah, I started getting a feel for who, what, when and where after a while here and I think it'll be possible to enjoy the scene and maybe even yank a few chains and push a few buttons now and then...'course when I start yanking a few buttons and pushing a few chains you'll know I've flipped.:)
