Since this is a damn fun place, we'll have some rules to keep in the fun.

Rule #1 - No profanity.

Rule #2 - No stupid posts like "REPOST". Such posts are not helping the section, they in fact make people less inclined to contribute as they fear being called "REPOST"er and such. And don't post any "REPOST" just because you've seen it before, please bear in mind that you are not a representative


If you see it's a repost (like today you see the 2nd person posting a joke about Samy Vellu that someone did just a few days back).

you could either

1. post the earlier thread that contains to same joke
2. click the report button
3. pm the TS
4. go browse other threads.

Best if you could do highlight in a proper way la, not just "REPOST!"


Rule #3 - No stupid posts like "404 funnay not found". Such posts are not necessary. If it's not funny to you, it could be funny to others. Just that you don't get the joke or don't enjoy it as others would. So don't spam.

Rule #4 - If you have read the joke before (on or off LYN) - there's not a need to post stuff like "seen it" or "aiyah this one again". No harm having good jokes repeated, as long as not within short duration la. smile.gif The purpose here is to enjoy and also to encourage contributions, not posting stuff that make it look like there's a "Joke Police" hanging around.

Rule #5 - Be considerate with your jokes, regardless you're a reader / contributor.
- As contributors, try not to post offensive stuff.
- As readers, try to be less sensitive / open-minded.

why can't we say repost?
if it's a repost, it means they can search for it...
else it's just a duplicate (spam).

Agree!!

The rules No. 2 will encourage everyone to post OTHER people jokes and eventually increase spam in here

I will only not to post "Repost" if the joke been posted long time ago

I think 404 funny not found is rather stupid just because a certain people don't get the joke they assume the rest wouldn't understand it and in the end making a fool out of themselves coz they lack that intelligence to understand some joke.

can i have a compilation thread so i can compile all my jokes instead of creating 1 by 1?

why not instead of posting "REPOST", PM TS with posted thread in this LYN only, IMO, it's not a repost if it found @other board...
i hate people keep saying repost, repost and repost without any linking or proof doh.gif shakehead.gif

and you posting "REPOST" is not spam?

and have you ever notice how a thread of a similar joke somewhere would have more than 1 person saying "REPOST"?

spam? the reason these rules now exist is because you guys spam. smile.gif LOL. funny how this comes from people who spam Kopitiam.

1. post the earlier thread that's referring to same joke
2. click the report button

but seriously, does it matter? some people missed those jokes. let it be.

best if you can do #1 but to post "REPOST" is unnecessary.

great! but it's too bad many aren't like you. some people just post "REPOST" just because they've seen it before, regardless how long it was ago.

precisely. 404 funnay not found itself is a post many don't understand.

furthermore what's not funny to you could be funny to others. smile.gif

juz go ahead and do it, alittlemisfit created his Relationship Jokes thread, karmakid did his as well. dun think u need permission my friend. juz do it, dun give two shits.
goldfries
yeah gamerz, go ahead la. smile.gif

but i think having a thread a joke is nicer to read la. rather than going through your list and such.

nevertheless, the R&R here are to reduce the nonsense (like 1 thread having more than 1 person saying "repost" or "funnay not found" which are totally unnecessary).

learn to post something encouraging, not discouraging. smile.gif like for example "nice one!" or "keep contributing!" smile.gif
