....and another new thread closer
Discussion
I am going to stick my neck out and say this.
It seems to me that apart from having some serious debate in this forum, engaging in some harmless fun with funny innuendos using pictures is against the rules in PH, and it leads to another new thread being closed.
My thinking was ...We are all adults,not classroom pupils, and having a laugh sometimes is part of the whole PH psyche...or am I wrong?

Actually not all of us are adults. There are some younger members who visit PH. Also primarily this is Ted's site and his living and if he or his mods feel a topic is inappropriate then they have full right to close it.
Also once again PH is primarily a motoring site. And yes I know I have posted c*ap with the best of them.

You're right, but you forget that some peoples only power in life is closing threads.
Once you learn to accept that, this place can indeed be fun.

And keep on the good side of those in authority
I think there are some people who find that sort of thread quite tiresome and have previously complained. Personally I find all the watch threads tiresome and would like to see them closed as soon as they appear but what can you do?
I'm of the opinion if you don't like the content in a thread - move onto another one, but if a thread is in danger of being reduced to bad taste then it should be closed.
Wasn't this sort of thing the reason a rating system was introduced? I didn't see a thumbs down next to it.

But isn't the question really down to whether you prefer this:
or this? :
At the end of the day, we're all Teds guests. The reason they are closed is that I simply want to retain some standards here and keep debate as adult as possible rather than let the site descend into a teenage chat room.
Personally I think innuendo is a form of wit that lacks imagination and aside from the occasional nob gag is simply tiresome. I'd like to raise the bar when it comes to humour on the forums.
I've just checked out the 'Blonde chick with nice Pussy' thread and let's face it we all knew what was going to be in there before we opened it. Threads like that potentially cause corporate nanny filters to barf so that's another negative as most people read at work.
Sorry to be a bore, but you're going to have to try harder
...and the other reason that threads are closed is simply to add fuel to Flasher's conspiracy theories
