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.

Is this still because of the married couple tweet joke?

Orientation != mature, since kids can have any combination of parents/guardians.

IMO the guideline should be cheesy pun that would make someone’s kid of any age groan and shake their head, whereas, like others said, “uncle jokes” take a second more thought and are usually based on sexual (bodily and/or “action based”) themes. Maturity level isn’t so much the issue as is the difference between obvious wordplay and double entendres. It doesn’t need to be a stone-set line, but the genres are definitely distinct.
