Unfortunately we all have different thresholds and if reported the mods have to retract the post.
However I assume the reporter(s) can find other topics, possibly offensive to others, fair game to have a laugh at
Basically I CBA’d to find out by posting what is ‘acceptable’ or ‘is below a threshold’ on a pot-luck basis

I think there is some merit in having a "don't read this if offended easily" thread where more stuff is fair game. Obviously, illegal / nasty stuff would be unwelcome but "close to the knuckle" stuff would be allowed. The rule then being: don't go on the thread and moan because it's not to your taste.
I guess it comes down to how much mod effort would be required to police it.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Like others I hadn't appreciated the reason you stopped posting your jokes Astonbuilder, just assumed you had thrown away the joke book you'd found on Noah's Ark.
I, like many others on here, did take the on the definition of what you thought was a good joke but never on the content. As has been said it seems these days that people can be offended by almost anything. However, these easily offended people don't have to read the Humour, Rants & Pointless Posts section. Why does the enjoyment by the many have to be restricted by the piousness of a few?Uncle Ray's spare wheel protector

Resurrecting this thread...
Three pilots are walking through the forest when they come upon a set of tracks.
The Air Force pilot says, "Those are deer tracks."
The Army pilot says, "No, those are elk tracks."
The Navy pilot says, "You're both wrong! Those are moose tracks."
The pilots were still arguing when the train hit them...I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

I think it's an excellent idea.
Maybe Martin could be persuaded to have a separate "limited access" section of the forum like "Off Topic - Politics" but maybe "Off topic - Risqué Jokes". To access this forum you must join the "Risqué Jokes" group, and acknowledge that you won't take offence from what you read there"

I find that opinion, publicly stated, as offensive, hurtful and not taking the fact I identify as 'funny' the most abhorrent thing ever been stated on here........

Talking of snowflakes I see Netflix on 22 june are releasing this , should be good for a laugh
No jokes about bald people either. Since this sets a precedent for male secondary sexual characteristics, no jokes either that are based on:
* Beards, moustaches or facial hair of any kind
* Deep voices
* Wider shoulders
* Assertiveness
* Aggression
* Strength
* Nasal hair
* Ear hair
* Being able to load a dishwasher efficiently
