I know that there is a view that a joke is not a thread and therefore should not be posted, but is a poem.
In the past poems have been posted in Poetry Corner, so why not have a Comedy Stage where folk can get something off there chest before returning to the rest of the cafe to put the world to rights.
Should we have a Comedy Stage or not.

Only a joke.
Poems can be very personal to an individual and evoke many personal emotions both to the poster and to the reader. I don't see a comparison as to why a joke can be thought of as personal, especially when it is a re-hash of an old joke. There are millions and millions of jokes and joke websites elsewhere on the web. If anyone wanted a joke thread, just google 'joke' and see what comes up. Humour is fine, just look at the posts in the cafe and you will find humour abounds, but it is the humour that an individual puts into a post, rather than a 'copy and paste' from a joke website. If everyone did that, we would be swamped and it would detract from te individual humour of the member. That is why joke posts are locked.
Hope that helps.

Seeing as people do like posting jokes - well they must do or they wouldn't keep posting them and there would be no need to lock joke threads....
Why not just have a joke/comedy stickie?
It would save the thread locking, reduce the number posted as an individual thread and give the mods somewhere to move them to
There is (or appears to be) little difference between a joke that is written and some of the funny links which are posted - yet a thread with a link to a funny picture or a silly (though entertaining) game of sorts, is allowed to run without being locked... and rarely without any further contributions other than "ha ha that is brill" or
Poems may be thought of as being personal (yet they are not all of that nature in the poetry thread) and therefore may give something to another reader… but let’s not forget how important laughter can be. Having somewhere someone can go to look for something to raise a smile or a chuckle at a time when they feel void of cheerful thoughts and being able to look for that smile in a place they have grown familiar with, feel connection to ( I mean this site) , can’t be a bad thing really can it?

Sex God
Good idea pl! Then instead of just locking them, just move them to the stickie, or people will soon get the idea!!
