I have raised two issues before but this seems an appropriate place to post again:
1. Whilst everyone's sense of humour is different there have been two occasions recently where I have seen blatant racism in the 'jokes' thread. I am not talking about the type that people moan about 'the world becoming PC', simply 'I hate Muslims/foreigners/people of a different race' masquerading as 'humour'.
I find it staggering that people think it's acceptable to post this on a public forum, especially one which consists of many international members or people with diverse family backgrounds. It also drags the forum down and unfortunately it has soured my viewing here and my perception of some Morgan owners. People have worked hard to move away from negative stereotypes and this is from the dark ages.
In advance, to those that know who they are, please don't bother remonstrating with me, I grew up in the most multi-cultural city in the UK and wouldn't change it for the world.
2. People have posted verbatim quotes of various news stories without linking to the original source. While this on the face of it is completely innocuous this is breach of copyright. I have been on a forum that had no choice but to pay compensation after being legally challenged over exactly this. The alternative would have been expensive and ultimately pointless legal action. If you're going to post something, please fully reference it, because the legal responsibility is with the site owner not the person who posts.
Have to agree with you here Cicerone. A couple of the "humour" posts caused me some offence, I posted a comment about one of them but decided to delete it after a few minutes for various reasons. Racism (disguised as humour) seems to be accepted here
