Jokes are fine. I post plenty myself. Jokes are fine in a
professional work environment. Inappropriate jokes are not.
This shouldn't be a mystery.
Appropriateness of a joke is purely defined by a culture and is
completely subjective. It is perfectly fine to define your own
rules on your forum. Trying to appeal to some common morale as
a basis for that is not.

As I mentioned in my post below, almost anything is offensive to
someone, somewhere.
You won't find a unified view of "Inappropriate" even among a
very homogenous group of people, let alone an ad hoc group of
collaborators and users spanning the entire globe, an age range
of 60+ years and a wide variety of religious/cultural/political
views and environments.
