Re: Where's the Olde Animal Joke threade gone?

I appreciate that you didn't find the content offensive, but I had to consider the opinions of the other members (1 reported post, 4 PMs, 4 emails) who felt that it was maybe a step too far. You also knew the content was risky when you started the thread that 'big brother would be watching'. We don't want the site to become a wildlife version of Viz magazine and I decided to delete the posts, unfortunately the whole thread disappeared - still not sure why

We've got kids, families, schools and funders all looking at the site and so we have to consider a wide range of visitors. Teachers and parents would recognise that the jokes were a bit too much and might tell their kids not to visit the site. Funders might look at the thread and decide not to support us with £0000s. For the sake of a few gags, its not worth the risk and whilst we try to be as open as possible, we have to consider the possible effects on the charity.

As for the other threads you mentioned, I'll happily remove any similar content. PM me a list and I'll change or delete the words.

Stuart
