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.

I'm going to watch a bit, but if this turns into just a dirty joke central ... 🤷‍♀️ ... that's not what I joined the group for.

I’m cautiously optimistic, but I agree. If it essentially turns into a general adult humor feed, I’ll likely either alter the rules here or find/create a space for kid-friendly/light-hearted jokes. That was the original intent for the space, since so many jokes are already focused on adult humor.

adult humor

I feel like there's an 'adult humor = dad joke' joke to be made here.

I disagree with the change. Good luck with the not kid appropriate jokes. I'm out.

Hi out, I'm dad.
