Who's Jeremy Kyle ? ;)
Seriously.. who is he ? (I'm just a stupid foreigner you know.. ;) )
I can't remember reading any of the posts in the original thread, but being a member of multiple forums, I know on many forums there are threads where people can just chat or rant about everything. As long as it's not becoming a personal vendetta against a certain member or a group of people, other than in a fun way, it shouldn't be a problem.
Life sometimes is so serious, it's good to have some fun with friends or fellow forum members. When the thread is posted in an area where there's a warning stating to all readers that it's a NON SERIOUS thread and that it will not or barely be moderated because 99.9% of it's contents is just for fun, nobody should feel offended by it's contents.
The question is: does a thread like that belong on a Mini forum like this ? Well, why not? As we all know this is a worldwide forum, with loads of members from loads of countries. That means people from all ages and from every level of society. A lot of the members know eachother personally from Mini events, where we all have fun and make jokes and sometimes make fun of people. As long as it's not becomming a place where members structually get bullied for whatever reason, I don't see why a thread like that can't exist. Again, WITH the warning to all (new) readers that it's a NON serious thread.
I'm a moderator on 2 forums in Holland, and yeah, sometimes that means you're getting comments/complaints about your actions on the forum because people disagree with your actions. That's why those actions have to be well thought through before taken. And even then, people sometimes start an argument. It's exactly the same with police officers in the real world. Some people respect them, other people hate them. When receiving a ticket for speeding or overtaking a car on the wrong side, don't blaim the oficer. At the end of the day, you were the one in violation of the rules.
There are places in the world where you are allowed to overtake on the wrong side and where there are no speed limits, they're called circuits. Let's create a circuit where we can let go of the members and where the rules aren't as strict as on the rest of the forum.
To come back to my first question: I guess/hope he's a comedian ? Because those are allowed to make "insults" on people or groups of people because their audience KNOWS they're not serious.. it's for fun.. Now let's have some fun !
He's an idiot, who invites people onto a TV show to sort out their family problems etc.
Appalling day time TV
Your life will be longer, and more fulfilling if you keep his show out of your life.
