Or maybe it was 'pesto' that offended them. Furrin, innit.

Should I sense outrage that the mods are not au fait with words from a country with which we have an entente cordiale? Could this be a cause célèbre? Perhaps the mods need an aide memoire so they know just how many French words and phrases are actually in the Oxford English Dictionary and spoken by the hoi polloi as well as being approved by the Académie Française. Otherwise they might find themselves at the mercy of a coup d'état.
Or am I just going up a cul-de-sac? Is it all Greek to them?

I had one deleted from the jokes thread a couple of weeks back. It was a Les Dawson Mother in Law joke along the lines of: 6 blokes were beating up his MIL and the neighbour asked Les if he was going to help. Les replied 'no, six should be enough'. Really obviously not serious.
Deleted on the grounds that someone reported it as promoting violence towards a specific subset of women
Just wondering who is so woke and easily offended that they felt it necessary to report it....

To be fair, being a mod is no great fun on the whole, and if you're going to do it, the rules they use have to be applied, but I do get a sense that there is at least a little pleasure taken in applying them officiously by some, without any option for saying "Really?!"
I'm almost tempted to do a post similar to my italicised one above, with a screencap from the OED for each word/phrase. But I suspect that it might be taken in the spirit I'd intended it, and it too would be deleted for questioning Ultimate Authority.

I wouldn't have minded so much, but they said they agreed with the professionally offended complainer and then gave me a little lecture about the unacceptability of Bernard Manning humour in this day and age, even though it was Les Dawson
Like you, no option to respond further was given...

I kinda guessed. The thread title is quite appropriate.

I agree that the old Bernard Manning type humour (even when it came from the mouth of Les Dawson) was crass and unfunny, even more so 40/50 years on. If I knew there was money to be made by complaining about it I would also have done so.

Are you the sad f***er who reported it then?

If you thought that it promoted violence towards women, as the complainer did, then you're probably a bit thick.

I'll admit to a bit of schadenfreude (sorry, there I go again) when people can't understand why other people don't find their jokes funny.

I completely understand why some might not find my jokes funny. Still struggling about the alleged promotion of violence towards women. I suppose if someone has the balls to own up to reporting it then we might be able to understand what's going on in their head. But that's unlikely.
