• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Am I the only one that finds the racist jokes being fed over from armslocker.com objectionable? I've reported two posts, made my comments on said posts expressing my disgust with them, but the posts remain, and with one exception (thanks LauraB for validating my perception :D), no one else has commented. I can accept the fact that not every joke can be funny to everyone, but c'mon, these are racist, against the TOS, and highly offensive.

edit - the posts have been removed, thank you mystery admin man...

First, let me address a couple of points. It's 7:51 in the morning where I am when you made this post and you reported this joke at 4:30 in the morning my time. I don't know about the other moderators but I was asleep at 4:30 and just checked my email a couple of minutes ago after taking the kids to school.

I'm not stating that I find your reporting without merit but because you reported something doesn't mean it will automatically be removed because you found it offensive. However, In this case I removed the reported post because I happen to agree that it is racist with the "turning white" and "I have to get a job now" phrases.

Several of these jokes have already been removed. My understanding is that it is a news feed a "bot" that reposts them on the sites. It is not just coming from armslocker but being posted there as well. Including other sites.

Several moderators have discussed this feed and several of the jokes and were going to discuss it with Rich but he was out of town at the time and I think it was forgotten about until your reported post this morning.

Be assured that it is being looked at and I'm sure Rich will address it as soon as he can. If you find others of similar nature, report them.
 
The "RSS_jokes" registration is simply a registered member as far as this system is concerned. If you don't want to read what it posts as RSS feeds, simply put that "member" on ignore.
 
Dennis - Thank you. I guess I have to work on my patience issues. And rest assured, I would not report the post unless it was blatantly racist.

Rich - Thank you.
