The Honda Owners Club

Don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not that interested in looking at "smutty" jokes.

So, unless they are really good - let's not bother....

If you disagree, please do respond here - I could be a minority of 1.

I'm with you on this one Allan, there are plenty of other sites for this sort of thing.

I personally don’t have a problem with “Smutty” jokes or jokes containing bad language, whether the offending words are disguised or not…

…BUT I think we must remember a few points on the forum, whether we are posting jokes, making comments or posting replies. (Please correct me if I’m wrong): -

I believe I’m right in thinking the majority of the forum members are also members of the Honda Owners Club and one of its many branches and have found our way to the forum via the HOC website, so I think we must consider the HOC’s image that the forum puts over to non HOC members and other that may stumble across the website.

Some of us know each other personally and in a private little group would know how far to go, but others are complete strangers so we must be careful not to offend these people.

In days gone past, if you used bad language in the presence of a lady, someone might just mention to you about your language, which meant you’d watch your tongue where ladies were present. These days not only do we have to consider the ladies and the men for that matter, but race, religion, sexual orientation etc. So let’s not think who the joke or comment would appeal to, but more who it would offend and maybe give them a little bit more consideration before we post a joke or reply.

We may also have children viewing to site for whatever reason.

Steve, it wasn't you who started it - but your string of jokes did bring it to my mind.

So, nobody's upset (yet) and Don't worry about apologies.

Have fun all.

I'll swap smutty stories with anyone.

Just not sure a public forum is that best place for it though.

How about:
If we get two or more complaints about a joke - it gets pulled.

sounds good to me

Is it just me or is this a symptom of today's society where people are so busy getting offended they forget to have a damn good laugh.

Smutty humour has been around for donkey's years, ie seaside postcards, the carry on films, up Pompei.

Maybe putting a warning in the title box is a way not to offend the easily shocked but don't stop posting saucy humour.

Yeah, it's just you Kevin.

Like I said, I'll swap smutty stories with anyone, and you'll need to go some to offend me, but I wouldn't tell some jokes in front of a fellow members eight year old daughter, and consequently wouldn't post those jokes where that same little girl might accidentally read them.

Just my opinion, and I'm willing to accept that, in this day and age, the little girl might know some better jokes than me.

Agreed.

I'm no angel but there is a correct time and place for everything and this website does not provide any warnings as to content or age restrictions so some form of conduct should be followed.

Just a thought but can a 'smutty joke' thread be password restricted and only those with membership numbers can access it? Not sure if that is do-able or might even be too much hassle?
It does seem a shame to lose some of the 'dirtier' jokes as most of us, we hope, are all adults and enjoy a good chuckle (and some of them are down right hilarious), but I have a 9 year old boy who regularly uses the internet, so I fully understand the point you are making though.
