Apparently so. Browse through SYG any day of the week and you'll find Gaga and Selena haters constantly making them (and not getting warned).

Cherry has a point. What about suicide?

Definitely not.

OK, so here's something I would like to know:

How come bleach jokes are warned in SYG, but jokes about lupus aren't?

From the first post in SYG:



How is it that joking about an autoimmune disease that has no cure and takes people's lives isn't deemed "insensitive" or "offensive", but joking about an artist's light complexion is?

And we all know damn well that if a major pop star had HIV/AIDS and someone made a joke about it they would be swiftly warned.

The logic should be improved, the rules should be made a lot clearer, and either the lupus post should get a WP or my WP for the bleach post should be reversed.

Coming from the person that makes jokes about the holocaust, nazis, and jews

Definitely not.

It happens a lot so at least we know now they are warnable. Thanks

I get warned for my offensive posts (and apparently that includes jokes about Beyoncé being light-skinned?). I want to know why others are not similarly warned for making jokes about serious health conditions.

I hope it's not because of a moderator bias against Lady Gaga, seeing as at least two of them regularly diss her in SYG.

In SYG, yes. After all, monsters make jokes about suicide, abortions, the Holocaust etc in SYG on a regular basis, it's a little hypocritical of them to start crying to the mods and get offended when people make similar jokes about Gaga

Didn't you make jokes about suicide before you realized depression was an issue that affected Katy? In any case, it was just confirmed above that suicide jokes are not allowed and get warned. So I want to know why lupus jokes are ok.

And Gaga is not the only celebrity victim of lupus jokes.

I agree. It's also very sick when you make jokes about suicide, self-harm, mental health, lupus, cancer and women without breasts. It would seem a lot of people on ATRL are like this.

How about Stand Your Ground is eradicated altogether. All it does is breed hatred, passive-aggressiveness and insecurity.

I'm not the one begging mods to ban jokes about lupus like you are though

ATRL will literally die if this happens since everyone will be constantly banned.

I feel like either SYG is removed completely or you should be able to say whatever you want. How can there be degrees of offensiveness? They're all objectively and equally horrible.

Then so be it - people should bear the consequences of their actions. If people have such an urge to express themselves through hate then maybe the solution shouldn't be to cultivate it by giving them a breeding ground? Why can't this forum stick to what it fundamentally is, a forum where people discuss music?

Basically, you can't say suicide jokes are a no no but okay jokes about an event in history that killed millions of people

As far as I'm aware no mods have okay'd any of those.

You guys see them when you visit the thread

[RatedG²]

Oh this is open again? Interesting

[paulyyyozd]

the new rule concerning replying with gifs/avis may be the most redundant and unfounded since the LaLingo

it was literally completely harmless and usually done in troll/flamebait threads themselves that weren't closed fast enough

and yes it was still funny (most of the time)

can every mod come up with a new rule when something personally annoys him cause that would explain the ridiculous amount of those made during the past months

things like that usually die out naturally either way after some time just as there will constantly be created new popular ways to 'troll'.

at this point i'm actually surprised that 'talent always wins' isn't warnable yet.

just wanted to express my strong discontent

Eh. SYG is for the mentally insane and socially inept. I say there should be no rules on popstars about what's allowed and what isn't. It's called "Stand Your Ground" for a reason.

I've been on this site for 6 years about and literally stepped foot in there once a year and see the same sad folk in there. If they want to make fun of lupus or whatever I say let them as long as they don't come to normal atrl with their bs.
