That rule is posting to intentionally cause an arguement. Im sure people who posted jokes were trying to have a laugh rather than purposely start an arguement.

So posting in a thread full of MJ fans leaving their messages for others to read with a sick joke about the person in discussion isnt trying to intentionally cause an arguement? Thats why there is a joke thread (which IMO should be closed and deleted also) for those who think they are "funny" to post.
Make a "pay your tributes to Michael Jackson" thread then, anyone who doesn't post to pay their respects should be dealt with, the only other threads were "Michael Jackson has died" and nowhere does it say I have to/should pay my respects, that's why I kept out of the "RIP Michael Jackson" one
Well, a member of staff created the new thread and it was quite obvious they weren't going to stop....
Perhaps make three threads....
MJ Jokes Thread
MJ Lovers only thread
and
Mixed MJ discussion thread...
Well for the most part anyway, I'm speaking for myself here when I made jokes for humour rather than to cause arguments.
Thats what trolling is though, posting to cause arguements. Plus if the rule was "You can't post anything that MAY cause arguments" you would be very limited in what you could post. Anything MAY cause arguements. Its whether its intentional or not that makes the difference.
Thats very true.Quote:

So I could start posting negavtive things / making fun of stuff everywhere and say it wasnt intentional and get away with it?
STOP BEING IMMATURE AND SAYING BOTTOMS LOL!11!!!111!!
Seriously though, it happened, theres gonna be a load of jokes on the internet because thats... the internet. >.> Now stop your whinging and whining because:
1. Asst Forum Manager said it's ok because theres no intention to cause arguments;
2. Nobody should feel deeply insulted over the internet, unless they really are... weird. People gotta learn, the internet does not care for your feelings and neither do I.
3. Not everyone on a forum will agree with your opinions, so stop ******** and whining about it when they don't agree.
SO.... NERRR!!!! My internet ego just got +5, eat it.
Well to start doing that would mean you had intention to, so you lose.
