OP is long gone from this thread and it's been taken over by mens rights weirdos. Looks like one is starting to read through and reply to the 20+ pages of wtf-ery. It was somewhat interesting while OP was around but has devolved.

I would just ignore the thread. As far as I can tell, the guys aren't trolling or doing anything against our guidelines. It looks like the latest one doesn't even agree with the earlier one.

there are guidelines?

[jsteele]

Yes, we have guidelines. Otherwise, on what basis would you like me to do something?

It wasn't appropriate for the forum. What you describe as a "farce", others consider a troll post.

I reported this separately because of words that don't belong in non-explicit and I thought might cause issues with the advertising policy, but I guess you already checked it out. Never mind.

Thank you for reporting the post. Since you reported a specific post, I noticed that I had missed that one -- it's a 28 page thread and I didn't read all of it. When I read the post you reported, I deleted it, as well as one other.

Isn't a troll someone who pretends to be a real poster? I don't know how anyone could have thought that was a sincere post.

At least two people reported it for trolling. The new post in Explicit has already been reported once.

Well isn't that sort of silly on their part? I mean, do they not see it's meant to be a joke? People with a sense of humor (or at least this type of sense of humor...) should be able to exchange this type of farce post and if others don't like it, they should not participate -- just like the people who object to the thread full of "men's rights" posters that started it.

Perhaps. But, it was also a bit explicit for that forum.

I miss the "farce thread" that went around a few years ago. Can we have a farce forum?

You can always search for that thread and revive it. It was awesome.
