So here's where we stand as of now on the people who've expressed their opinion on the thread. I've not counted people who've decided to abstain. If I've missed your vote or placed incorrectly, let me know.
Anonymous poll is 52 (not ok) to 48 (ok) currently. The problem with this one is unless you look at it through the backend db, you don't know how many active members voted or how many new aliases were created to vote. Hopefully that's not the case and I'll check that part later, but this is also the reason why I had originally encouraged a reply on the thread. Looks like the vast majority have done that, thanks for posting your opinions regardless of what you've voted!

Well put, but apparently, there are places where rules are made on "popularity".

My response is a clear 2 - not ok on CD
There really seem to be just a handful of ayes - and ardent lovers of the jokes - why don't you make a whatsapp group and post there? These jokes would be in the right place with the right audience.
The gist of the matter seems to be that the jokes are beginning to become more crude and crass with each post. This reaction by some members - is called drawing a line. This joke is the one straw that broke the camel's back.
If you were defending something noble - it would have been different - defending "vulgarity" (for lack of a better word) in the name of popularity - shows character and priorities. When there is clearly a mixed audience to the site - these jokes are not on the correct platform.
Does not mean that there is anything wrong with the jokes or that they are not good or the choicest of the lot - it just means that this is not the correct forum to post these jokes. We all love naughty jokes but we do not come to this forum to seek them.
Vagg's jokes are nice - but he must exercise judgment prior posting a joke. Waah waahi by a few does not make right a wrong.
We all know there are strip clubs. A stripper performing there is fine. Would you think it right if the stripper performed a strip show at an Indian wedding? Why not? She is very good - people like her - best dancer - gorgeous woman - men love her.
The above is an extereme example - but I have mentioned stripper in keeping with the flavour of Vagg's jokes.

If admins are out to moderates jokes, it should be applied to all jokes including Santa Banta ones. For any site/forums, the moderators make the rules. So if this is your decision, go for it. Frankly, I didnt understand this Vagg joke the first few times I read it.

Completely agree, Hiren.
And you're absolutely right, its nothing to do with a specific poster, all about the content.

I am with BL on this one. The issue is not what we can accept as adults, it is about what we want to see on this site. Jokes with an inferred reference to adult content is the line I would draw. Direct mention of genitals and poking fun at them is not funny IMO and straight into crude category.
Also I feel that BL is not targeting 1 poster but at the content and using that content as a example to demonstrate where the line is crossed. It should also be noted that this content has NOT been created by the poster to be a direct blow to his/her credibility, it has only been passed on from 1 source to another.
Beyond that is it the wish of the poster if he/she wants to overstep that fine line or stay within it.
I also don't agree that the moderators should step in and delete those. They are letting us be adults and practice self censorship.
I vote NOT OK to explicit content.
Hiren
