Revision as of 00:13, 26 January 2012
So, after some recent behavior involving offensive jokes, I have thought quite a bit about the issue and have come to my own conclusion that it should be added to COD:UTP.
Offensive jokes can hurt people and are quite often not funny at all, as they often revolve around sensitive topics. While I understand sometimes one user may just be having a little fun, an offensive joke is often used to hurt somebody, intentional or not.
As for stereotypes, I think that some of the more offensive one, like "All Americans are fat" (I hope I don't insult anybody with that) is rather offensive to people. But saying "All Canadian live in igloos" would be fine, as it is obviously in the sake of fun.

Hmm... - I thought that jokes like that would be covered under COD:DBAD... Twig (Talk) 00:07, January 26, 2012 (UTC)
....? Isn't this already on it? We don't need to list every possible infraction.

To be honest I thought offensive jokes were already covered by the policy. http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m119/steveisgreatsb/nerv.jpgCodfan5695 Talkhttp://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu62/MawsCM/Rei%20Ayanami/033.jpg00:10, January 26, 2012 (UTC)
Being (what I believe) is the most recent example of this problem, I completely see why this would be a good idea, but per Twigy, I think DBAD covers it already. Maybe a word change could be put in place to make it more clear or direct. http://i.imgur.com/KUDLq.png 00:10, January 26, 2012 (UTC)
This is already covered. When users say "calm down, I was joking," that is telling you they clearly don't understand the policies, and should either be punished or redirected to said policies. Shotrocket6 00:12, January 26, 2012 (UTC)
"If a user insults or cusses at another, that constitutes as a personal attack, and has a high chance of resulting in a block" - This kind of means insulting joke, but you have to really read into it, perhaps all that is necessary is some rewording.
