Why has "Toilet Etiquette" been closed?
Discussion
''off-color humor (also known as vulgar humor or crude humor) is an Americanism used to describe jokes, prose, poems, black comedy, blue comedy, insult comedy, cringe comedy and skits that deal with topics that are considered to be in poor taste or overly vulgar by the prevailing morality of a culture. Most commonly labeled as "off-color" are acts concerned with sex, a particular ethnic group, or gender. Other off-color topics include violence, particularly domestic abuse; excessive swearing or profanity; "toilet humor"
Maybe why?

I've seen worse threads run and run: in fact the post that ajcj's thread originally appeared in was pages long.
A shame indeed, I was nearly crying with laughter at some of the comments - "give it a bit more choke and it'll start"
"If there's only two traps and you're reading every thread in The Lounge, what's a chap to do if he's got one nibbling at his shorts?"A shame indeed, I was nearly crying with laughter at some of the comments - "give it a bit more choke and it'll start"
I almost died of laughter
.I'm genuinely upset this has been closed!

a lot of stuff on ph is pretty puerile and I stay away from those threads, but maybe a mod thought the same.Well, I've let my thoughts be known now... Off I go.
I wondered about this, I have to admit I found it rather amusing.
PH is becoming a bit too over-moderated, in my opinion.

The mods have gone way over the top in the last few weeks on all sorts of threads and posts. It's stupid stuff like this thread that the Gassing Station was built on and they would do well to remember that.
No, the threads that stayed open in the 'O' days where the ones that had merit and quality, some of us where around in those days too. 
To be fair when I first started here, all those years ago, Ted was regularly closing topics with the now famous 'raise the bar' comment. Same is true today and no rule tightening as been requested from me.
Whenever we close a thread it will give cause for comment, what doesn't get noted is the thousands that stay open. I'd like to think we strike a fair balance, but I appreciate that not all will agree with me.
Edit: Blimey, we're like buses.

Perhaps some rule slackening should be requested from you?If I recall, Ted only closed threads that got personal.

The 'raise the bar' comment meant just that, it didn't relate to personal matters, more those we felt brought the tone of the forums down to an unacceptable level.

I didn't even see the thread; I just wanted to agree about the excessive moderation of late.
Who decides what's dross? You? What's wrong with a bit of dross anyway?
Nothing's changed as far as I'm aware, as Al and Paul have said PH has always tried to maintain a standard and I don't see any reason to change that. It's not like there isn't the rest of the Internet to have a giggle at if PH is too staid for you.Who decides what's dross? You? What's wrong with a bit of dross anyway?
