I think a forum rules sticky would be a nice suggestion.
I don't find sexism, racism, profanity or trolling funny (others too, but the list of my intolerance could get long). It makes it worse when it's written off as sarcasm or a joke and everyone says 'ha ha'. It's not funny it's offensive to me and (hopefully) others.
If you want the forum to have a broader audience then perhaps less swearing too. Sure you can have it in an adult only banter area if you want, but I'd like to think most people can have fun without being crude and base.
Yeah I'm going to be mocked, but tbh I really don't really care. Most mature and popular Forums have forum rules and that's my justification for this post.

I could do a VERY long list
Let the flaming begin.

Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
