The funny picture threads have become one of the true staples of this forum. There have been many incarnations of these threads that have come and gone throughout the history of the Hype. Unfortunately, with that long-standing existence has also come some problems. As a result of those problems, the staff got together and came up with a very specific list of rules for these threads.
These rules are not negotiable. They are not debatable.
Predictably, some here decided to "fight the power" and hijack these threads by turning them into a way to bash the staff, mock the thread rules, and prove how "cool" they think they are on a public message board. Some felt that they should be able to mock abortion, mock the holocaust, mock religion, and mock pedophilia among other things. This needless "rebellion" caused the previous funny picture thread to be closed and put on hiatus.
The funny picture thread is officially back from that hiatus and it comes with a very clear warning - the jackassery and needless hijacking of these threads to "fight the power" will not be tolerated. Instead of closing the thread again, those who cannot manage to "stick to the funny" as they say...will be banned from the thread. The decision to ban the troublemakers has nothing to do with "the staff not wanting to do their jobs" and everything to do with "no longer allowing the same troublemakers to ruin a thread that is loved by so many" here on the Hype.
With that said, please take a minute to review the rules for this thread.
The following are inappropriate:
*Abortion
*Pedophilia (which includes Pedobear)
*Necrophilia
*Pretty much anything that ends in -philia
*Molestation
*Rape
*Suicide
*G-strings/Thongs
*Nipples
*Sex
*Language that is banned by the pre-installed word censor
*Ethnicity
*Sexual Orientation
*Sexism
*'Falcon Punch' (in ANY form, directly related to abortion or not)
*Inappropriate Signs (like flipping the bird)
*Racist images/stereotypes
...let's get back to the funny!
