Gracos Kid Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I've noticed that memes I find funny and thought provoking are being deleted. I certainly don't try to disparage any person, group or issue. Just wondering if the Saloon would be better served by not posting if my sense of humor offends others..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Sense of humor has been dying a slow death. Too much woke nonsense. People can't laugh at themselves anymore. Sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Were they political in nature? If so, that might be why. I've noticed that the Mods are getting quick on the trigger with political stuff. And for good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I heard a comedian say that in most all humor someone is the victim of the humor. I think that is true. Most jokes and such have somebody coming up on the short end of the stick and being the butt of the joke. There is an irony to humor. Slapstick is considered the lowest form of humor. Subtle barbs at the other end. So, Okie Bonehead, the only safe humor is no humor at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 There are few jokes told anymore except among close friends. Apparently we are in the age of the thin skinned always offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are your memes political? scatalogical? Contain shapes that look like a penis? Are they preoccupied with boobs? Yeah, they're gonna get gone. You'd be surprised at how it only takes one for others to take it in unanticipated directions. Also, at one time photos were no longer allowed to be posted on the Saloon, because of copyright infringement... I think that was the Swedish Bikini Shooting Team pics.

Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 There was nothing wrong with the Swedish Bikini shooting team photos. I remember that thread But, all it takes is one person to find "offense" and to complain and posts and even full threads get killed. IIRC, it was the huge size of the Swedish thread that got it pulled. Way too many pictures and the server at the time wasn't ready for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggle Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I have been hearing about offensive memes on FB but i have never seen one that upset me before. It's either funny or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Hard to know why they were deleted if we don't know what they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
