The rules limiting “mature-natured” jokes have been lifted after the general consensus of feedback was in favor of more openness. Thank you all for taking part of the discussion. I am always open to suggestions on how to improve the community as it develops.

On a personal note, as fall sets in for me, I realize I haven’t had a single mosquito in my backyard all summer.

Apparently they were all married.

Oh shoot, I thought Uncle Jokes could handle the edgier jokes. I'm not going anywhere though. What about asking people to preface them with a rating letter? G or E for the mosquito joke for instance. T for the jokes a Dad could tell teens but not little kids, M for the jokes he only tells Mom

    I toyed around with the idea of having tags, either using the NSFW tag for more “uncle joke” material or tagging “E” material using a text like you are saying, such Safe for Everyone [SFE]. I think for now, I’ll let the reader decide which ones they want to retell. If the posts start to include a lot of uncle jokes, I might consider some sort of tagging for posts.

    I'm curious, are people actually getting offended or upset if they read a joke with mature humour?

    Not offended, I know well enough that people most often than not don't mean to offend, they are just having fun.

    I liked this place because it focused on silly puns. The world needs more silliness.

    Let's see how this goes.

    I'm not, and my kids are grown so I can share all kinds with them. Also I'm not likely to miss any NSFK double entendres. But I think some people like a few places on the Internet that are adult-clever but safe to look at with their kids. And some might be less likely to realize the implications of a joke that might make it NSFW, either through language issues or their own innocence. Just as most English-first people today don't realize "hoist on his own petard" was another of Shakespeare's many fart jokes. So few in fact that it's now completely appropriate anywhere.
