Over 18s Group
 
I suppose I could join to find out what this is and how popular it is but the title is off-putting. Can someone enlighten me please. I would hate (wouldn't I?) if this was a swingers group.:Banane13:

Go to your User CP page and third from the last item on the left-hand side. The moderators have to check you out first before you join!

While I'm at it why is my thread title in Bold please?
Ahh.... is it because there are posts in there that I have not read? It's changed back to normal font.

Recently we have had a few complaints about items in the Anything Goes section. Of course we are a family site, but us adults do have a sense of humour as well. Myself and the moderators have been discussing an over 18s section for people who are obviously over 18 and don't mind having a bit of a laugh..
This does not exist yet, but I am setting up the mechanisms to make it viable. We still haven't come to a final decision on whether or not to go ahead with it, so perhaps here is somewhere that you can let us know how you feel about it....

The expat forum I am a member of for Moscow has an over 18s section and it works really well.

Re: Over 18s Group
 
That sounds like an excellent idea, keep the main site child friendly and anything that might not fit that bill can go in another area where anyone under 18 can't have access. A bit like parental controls on th'internet.

Of course there's nothing to stop people telling porkies about their age but they do that to buy ciggies and booze don't they but we still have the age limits.

It won't be a problem for me being in my twenties still but, some people may lie about their age. Have you had any ideas on how to vet people Roy? Will there be any restrictions at all? My only concern is that with my shy, reserved and easily offended nature I may be out of place in there. I would try it and if it's not for me stay out, like most sensible adults would.

Re: Over 18s Group
 
Well a lot of people know each other and other known members will probably be able to vouch for each other. Entry to the group will be moderated and notes made as to who invited and vouched for you. Obviously the easiest way to gain entrance is to be known and come and visit one of the meets.. This is of course a problem with overseas users, but I am sure we can work something out.
It will not be completely anything goes, although it will be a place for the more adult jokes and conversations. There will be a warning that if you are easily offended then it is best to not join the group at all. Racist jokes etc. will not be tolerated.

Re: Over 18s Group
 
It sounds like you have covered all the angles Roy.

Re: Over 18s Group
 
Think it's a great idea, it has been discussed at one of the meets but it was ages ago. I think those who are easily offended are better off not joining ( I have tons of lovely jokes that I've been saving for an adult portion of the site.:D ). I would hate to think that somebody would be offended by a rude joke, well ruder than my anything goes jokes..... then go reporting the posts. I think that if you join the adult part of the site it should be under the condition that if the content offends, tough.....

If you are in the Mary Whitehouse Appreciation Society, stay away. :stop:

Re: Over 18s Group
 
I'm a member of some other forums with an adult section, it's mainly used for rude jokes and for women to post pictures of their boobies!

What's new there then?

Perhaps the ruder members amongst you will now leave the main forums for the more sensible of us, freer of innuendo.;)

SPUGGIE J 08-02-2006 16:23

Re: Over 18s Group
 
Now I am with it (premeture White haired moment). Sounds like it should work with all the safeguards being mentioned.

Perhaps rather than over eighteen, you could have it for people over eighteen inches tall.:D

Madhatter 08-02-2006 22:11

Re: Over 18s Group
 
As i said our forum has an adults section roy but without the password and vetting. It gets used for adult jokes but also for discussions about prostitutes etc. it works well and keeps the open forums clear of childish adult stuff. We of course don't allow hard core pornography and swearing in our forum though, and don't mind being called childish or immature, members are allowed free speach and opinions as long as they don't post racism, derogatory abusive comments, or slag off local businesses based only on their opinions, hardcore, child, animal, snuff porn etc.

Thanks for the neg karma, 'slimey!!!' yes well at least im honest,speak my mind even if it was said tongue in cheak and put my name on karma. good you've actually got the guts to comment on what ive said, shame you havent got enough to put your name to it. and annoying that you gave me reason to post!
by the way, its not meant as an insult its a tongue in cheek criticism of the threads/posts at that time, which was generally correct at that time, in my opinion.
