Suggestions for Management

Think it would be a good idea in some cases - for instance where British humour isn’t understood by one of the non-British mods and a warning is given for what was (to the British users) clearly a joke.

If we had an appeal process for warnings, the warn-ee could say to the warn-er - “look it’s a British joke, it’s not an insult” and undeserved warning would not have to be given.[/quote]

Hey mate have you watched “My big fat Greek wedding” film?

There’s a scene there were a new married couple is walking its way out of the church after the ceremony.
The Greek crowd (brides family) are spitting on them as they walked by.
This is a Greek tradition.It supposed to keep the jinx away.
The thing is that if i spit you im sure you’ll get the wrong idea.

Conclusion (IMHO):
Keep the British humor for the British and it’ll be ok.

Well, make that the British, Australians, Canadians and New Zealanders and just maybe some Americans…

That’s the reason I suggested it, at the time a lot of British posts were being deleted and warnings given because certain Mods just didn’t understand what they were saying. I’m sure if a load of Greeks were registered, it would be the same for you lot.

I genuinely think that as long as this forum is in English and a lot of English speaking humour is a play on words that certain people will take things the wrong way.

Im sure its not going to change to another language, so English speaking humour is here to stay Im afraid.

I was talking about British humor-not English speaking humor.

A very lot of it is the same. Culturaly that is.

I once had a fantastic trip to India with the military. Youd be surprised at just how many Indians had a similar sort of humour too.

Former British Colonies doesn’t count :twisted:

That’s three quarters of the globe out of the equation then :wink:

Anyhow, it was just an idea, if the Mods think it’s unworkable, then fair enough.

Do former Turkish colonies ? :wink:
