Default For the owners/admin etc

I have spotted a flaw in your ruling,in the rules which i read when i signed up,it gives great guidelines as to what you may or may not post BUT on the Muppet Room description it says this:

For basically saying and doing as you please, especially if its to get away from cars for a while. BUT BE WARNED. This room contain's all sorts of bizzare and very unusual posts. Some are just plain useless and some may be VERY offensive!! If you are easily offended, do NOT enter

To me this says you can say what you want regardless of the rules as VERY offensive is just that.Can the admin/owners please clarify there view of VERY offensive as i cant get my head around it as i beleive VERY offensive to be the jokes pointed at say Diana jokes or Jamie Bulger jokes or Zeebruger jokes or rascism so i am unsure what i can post??

According to that you can post racist remarks, but that's not the case...

Surely it's common scence mate... Do you really feel the need to post something that would cause such offence?

Some people would be offended by jokes of a sexual nature etc... But why would anyone wanna put posts up such as the ones you suggested? i don't get your question...

Hi mate,well i wouldnt post anything like that but the muppet room rules state i could if i wanted yet the rules say otherwise.

I am only trying to understand the reason they say "very offensive"

I think to go in the muppet room you have to be VERY broad minded and not be offended by anything.You are warned before you enter there

In which case you'd find it very offensive, you have been warned!

I understand this thread, the way that's worded anything goes - but this is not the case.
Someone was recently banned when they referred to a woman as a 'filthy paki', this was later dealt with as he meant filthy as in filthy (), and paki as in the abbreviation of pakistani.
So if racism, or anything else isn't tolerated, it does need adding to that text, as anything goes the way it reads at the moment.
