Forum:Better Quality Uncyc?
Well, I think we should overall decrease the number of profanities and adult content on Uncyc so childern and so called "civillized people" can read it. Everyone deserves a good laugh, even spoilt brats who spend their whole day watching TV and eating crisps.
If we still want adult content, we can put the "warning to young readers" thing and don't let childern see it. From my point of view, Uncyc is very funny but not that children-friendly.

- I have no problem with using those templates, and wouldn't like to see Uncyclopedia turn into a porn site (at least not before I have found a way to get my snout and front trotters into the trough). In fact I think I haven't yet written an article with profane expressions. I want to make one thing absolutely clear though: I would have sexual intercourse with all the living maternal members of my family (rigor mortis being the limit) rather than censor my motherfucking profanities when I see a humorous effect is even remotely likely. -- Style Guide 13:05, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

- No. If you find a swear and it doesn't add to the page, take it out. Make the page more gooder. Just pulling it all ruins the effect (and cursing can be used to good effect, dagnabit), and that NSFW template ruins the suspension of disbelief (that's twice today that I've used that phrase), although there are times when that template is appropriate. The page is the thing. Anything that takes away from that takes away from the page. Then the page is naked, and it needs that damnable NSFW template. We're all mature adults here. Even the kids. The ones that aren't just vandalize a couple of pages, get banned, and move on. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 13:29, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
- Multi's hit the nail on the head. If 'obscene language' is necessary for humour, it's fine. If it's swearing for the sake of swearing, ie; "XXX is a flipping cad then it reveals a writer with a poor vocabulary and no imagination. As for being child-friendly, when did we ever set out to be so? We're not Barney The Dinosaur.com. RabbiTechno 13:32, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
As Alex said, Everyone deserves a good laugh. Well, uncyc can use humour but not in a crude or profane way. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.43.76.138 (talk • contribs)

- If there's one kid left who can read English and has not learned to use all possible swear words and half the combinations of them by the time of his/her finding Uncyclopedia, I will turn myself in to the nearest church and become a devout christian. This is a promise, and not a politician's promise either. So, find me the kid and I'll go get converted. GET TO IT! -- Style Guide 16:49, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
"Civilized people"
would not understand any of the jokes on Uncyc. /thread. User:The Masked Editor/sig (16:54, Dec 14 2008)
As a rule, I generally support keeping the vulgarity level to a minimum. However, sometimes crassness and adult content are funny; but, I'm normally against full blown nudity, this site is not ED or a holder of masturbation fodder. The balance is far to much in favor toward the crass site. And it will always be thus, as it will always be too nonsensical and random, its the nature of the wikia. Writing good articles is hard and takes time: babbling incoherently, swearing like a drunked salior, and spamming boobage is easy and quick.--Mnbvcxz 17:45, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm screwed!
Aww man. I just did some math and one of my articles has an amazing 1:1 ratio of sentences to curse words. Which is terrible by the standards of this forum, and just amazing by my own. The Woodburninator (woodtalk) (woodstalk) 16:18, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Lower Quality Uncyc
I'd actually prefer that we actively work to lower the quality of Uncyclopedia, which is why I just wrote That time I accidentally launched a thousand ships with my face during my sojourn in Troy. 18:24, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Slightly lower quality
This chapter is dedicated to lowering it only slightly BECAUSE I'M TOO FUCKING LAZY TO WRITE FULL ARTICLES ANY MORE! But if I manage to write an Absolutely Boring Subchapter into this chapter of the Forum, I feel I have done my part. So then, this isn't halfway bad yet. My sentences are coherent, my spelling seems to be all right --- twat! I cannot even lower the quality believably! Well maybe, if I ramble on, I manage to turn this into something super boring. Yes, that must be it. Going around in this circle here, pretending I'm trying to do something. I feel it working. This is turning into something absolutely unreadable. I cannot stop any more - and I'm not sure I want to! I don't! I will keep on for some time. Sooner or later I'll get some impulse to quit this. Not yet though. A few more sentences and this will be finished. Is this boring yet? "Man, it sure is! How did you manage?" you ask, disbelieving. Well, he he, the secret is just to keep writing even if you have nothing to say! "Tell us something we don't know, wankypants!" All right, this turned ugly - and boring. So there - quality lowered! What do you think? -- Style Guide 19:08, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Good Idea! Cut Chaucer and Carlin, too
...assuming they are posting on Uncyc. Because they were very naughty fellows -- "swive" this and "fuck" that. The problem as I see it is, toilet words can be hilarious. But like every other word-set, it requires a modicum of wit to make teh funny with them. If you are objecting to stupid vulgarity, good on yer, I'm right behind ya. But don't try to sanitize the site, because humor has never been sanitary AND NEVER WILL BE. And since I'm in the mood for all caps, KILL THE MINGE-SNOGGING DONGLE-SCHLEPPING NSFW TEMPLATE wherever it is found! It is ugly as a chihuahua's rump-flange with flecks on. Ugly as a goose's slippery prolapse. Ugly as a wormy booger, ugly as a bush war in the Congo, ugly as toejam preserves, ugly as a dead rat's swollen purple balls. (That last one went too far, dint it.) But be of good cheer, I think all templates are ugly (except the Wikipedia link one). I favor eliminating stupid vulgarity, and encouraging funny vulgarity. And if there are children too innocent to read the words fuck or swive then they should go to FamilyPedia or something. ----OEJ 02:12, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
- In all honesty and seriousness and other things of that unfunny nature, I agree. I think "higher" quality (which in this case means watered-down G-rated "family-friendly" humor) content simply won't do Uncyc much good. Unless we're planning to advertise ourselves as such, it would be a buttload of work to implement a system for separating the adult stuff from the kiddie stuff, and we're struggling as a website to get it up at all. Er, by that I mean featured articles and stuff. Yeah. --The Acceptable Cainad (Fnord) 18:05, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
How to improve quality PRESTO!
It came to me in a vision: let's just nick the old Scott Adams joke and hang up a banner that says QUALITY! -- Style Guide 07:31, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

- I've got an idea: how about we improve quality by removing all the incentives to write successful articles? We could stop updating the featured artice daily, not bother voting for writer awards, and spend more time complaining than we do writing... oh.IronLung 09:19, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
- Or we could be sarcastic, because that would work really well. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 11:06, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

QUALITY?
The only question I have is why no one has yet to cite Quality.--Sir Flammable KUN (Na Naaaaa...) 01:00, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Quality Check?
Quality check for Uncyc is recommended. Apply directly to the website. 10:37, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, but don't use the generic Quality Check. That shit can give use a real bad rash down there. I would rather keep the crabs than use that shit again. --17:56, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
- Uncyclopedia: Less Quality, More Crabs Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 19:08, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

QUALITY IMPROVED IN A SERIOUS WAY!!
Friends and compatriots! Reading this Forum, I have come to the conclusion that the overall quality of Uncyclopedia has ALREADY been significantly improved! Can't you see it? Just look at the length of the article! How about the word/tit ratio? How about the almost nonexistent references to venereal disease or the like? How about the almost total lack of obscene words like pants, tits, butt, shorts, pee, or poop? I for one think this Forum is easily worthy of Christmas feature, if only we get one good festive image here somewhere! This is a miracle, just like the star that was visible in Bethlehem! This is like the second coming of Jesus - and I don't mean "coming" the way you think I mean it - if I know what you think, and I think I do! ET CETERA!! I rest my case. -- Style Guide 05:01, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- Obviously, the forum is much better than mainspace, minimal boobage, templates are used with moderation, meaningful ideas are expressed instead of the insane or pseudo-insane babbling and lists upon lists, there is no quote spam, and the articles are long. Clearly, we should make the forum the backbone of the site and turn mainspace into an ignored archive. (or perhaps I'm a year or two late with that idea.)--Mnbvcxz (Annoy) 06:48, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
