I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
Allen already started a thread for that:

It is a golden happy place! Go there and be glad
Edit: An alternative is to give us the alpha already, then we'll shut up

Thank you kind sir - missed that.
Well, there are offtopic subforums, which I think is perfectly fine for that.
I love jokes of our community, but I will agree that there will be influx of new players and some threads can be misread as something official or serious. Therefore warning is kinda justified.

This thread makes me sad It sorta reminds me of the type of teacher I didn't like in school who said things like 'I love a joke as much as the next guy but...'
Not that I have an issue with TJ, more the original post that led to this. The humour and mickey-taking on here and the tolerance of it by FD have made this the best online community I've been part of in years, be a shame to see that character disappear in the name of sanity and usefulness. Instead of scaring off most people I think the nature of this forum has attracted peoples attention (it kept me here!)
My two cents.

yeah warnings are a must for every part of life.
like the proposed warning on pistol boxes ''do not point at head whilst pulling trigger'' which if were lucky will raise the adverage iq with the question ''i wonder why not''
This thread makes me sad

I think that Frontier aren't banning humour, just stuff that may be crazy and fun, but is also factually inaccurate... You should still find things on here to make you smile...
Erm I read that post totally differently ..
Its about Missinformation or deliberate missinformation, like Alpha Screenshot threads or Rick rolling.. etc..
Humour will always be permitted but this advisory is due to the level of complaints I would imagine some of the misled community members have sent due to it.
So I for one will continue my humour as best I can and avoid deliberate thread creation to mislead the community ( I think the rumour thread may be behind this too)...
So I see it as a positive note that we should all play our part in keeping the forums fun, but not a nightmare of missinformation.. sounds ok to me!
*BLOOMIN ECK DID I JUST WRITE THAT???*

With regards to humour being allowed / not being allowed, I have to comment.
I used to enjoy posting on this forum. Yes it took some getting used to from having 5 or 6 of us posting to 500+ posting, but you are all great chaps & chapesses (or in psykokow's case, "unclassified"). I found I liked and respected all of you. I got comfortable posting on here and my humour started to come out.
Then I started to get labelled as "obnoxious" and "rude", which to be fair, I deserved a little, but mostly didn't deserve if you took the trouble to understand me a little. As such, I was notified of complaints against me (but not who, or what) and as such I now find I can't have fun on this forum. I don't enjoy posting here, and my desire to be a part of this community has been ruined.
Anyway just my opinion and how I feel. Hugs to you all.

I have had complaints levied against me too ... Doesn't mean i'm a bad person - Those that know me realise that I am a tactless individual who means well and those that don't think I am rude <shrug>
You're a dramatic individual who also means well .. Don't let things get to you, and if someone really es you off then add them to ignore for a while .. It really helps
