But this is something that needed put to a stop. Who else has complained about "offensive" jokes? Who else has demanded that this be put to a stop? One person's decision isn't enough to create a rule for an entire community.

If it comes up while I'm in chat, someone complains about it sooner or later. Also, this is a chat rule. The entire community doesn't use the chat. Out of our 2500 active users, around 100, give or take a few, of them are regular members of the community. Out of that 100, around maybe a good thirty people visit chat on a regular basis.

The rule was already there. It may not have been written, but it's pretty much common sense. If it sparks drama, could spark drama, etc, then one should not say it. I'm simply saying that said rule is now written down with an enforcement procedure behind it.

That being said, I think you're getting off on the wrong foot, Rabbit. You seem to be pointing at me as being the sole person taking offense to this; I'm not. I couldn't care less what jokes are made as long as no drama comes from them. These jokes have sparked drama many times in the past. The Koromo and Fallen Phoenix are two people who have voiced their opinions that I can name off the top of my head.
