Re: [Feedback] "Adult" references on this forum

We've heard the concerns about the contents of certain topics in these forums several times already. Do we really need to bring this up over and over again?

Re: [Feedback] "Adult" references on this forum

Well said Stormy, it does get rather frustrating seeing it. However, you shouldn't just stereotype all males, as I've seen instances on several forums of females doing what you're talking about. Therefore, I find just a little offense with your comment; "It makes me very sad indeed to think that this forum might turn trashy because of a few little immature boys who can't control their hormones on the internet." Females are just as capable of these things as males, therefore you shouldn't just pick one gender out like it's always them, and make it seem like the other doesn't.

Stormy, those immature children won't stop until they're in some way punished. Trust me, I student teach and deal with 10-12 year olds all the time.

Re: [Feedback] "Adult" references on this forum

Wow, I congratulate you for managing to teach kids of that age. I hear from a lot of people that they can't stand (or they "hate") kids especially of that age group. Understandably. ^^;

Re: [Feedback] "Adult" references on this forum

Don't feel bad Stormy, the majority of people generalize pretty much every day. It's just something that's mainstream, really. Which is basically why I avoid using the words "never" and "always" as they lead to generalizations. Generalizations are rarely true.

Unless they make it blatantly obvious, it won't be a problem.

Re: [Feedback] "Adult" references on this forum

You know that we moderators work to keep the forum safe and secure. Sometimes things are said that we don't catch (try reading every post of every topic that is posted in on every forum on this forum multiple times a day, and you'll understand how difficult that is), so if you catch anything that qualifies as an "Adult" reference on this forum, please PM me and you know that I will personally and promptly take care of it and the offender.

Re: [Feedback] "Adult" references on this forum

I know! How about if one of the three (LoneKnight, Spyro and SR) gets assigned to view the forum all day? Then they change shifts every day.

At least there's an "always-on" mod.

(EDIT: Don't forget Razz!)

Re: [Feedback] "Adult" references on this forum

Well, I saw at Mod Talk or Member's Council that you can earn that back. And you (Stormy) emailed me that I can also earn it back if I prove myself.

I'll let things keep on going, I think...
