I.e. he/she has been warned in essence by the author that the 'joke' may contain material objectionable to him/her and that the author has taken reasonable means not to let the joke accidentally fall into the hands of someone who would otherwise not have read it. Now, if we are going to censor encrypted jokes, we seem to be going back on the whole idea, which, I think, has been working out wonderfully.
