Can we have an 18+ section please.

[Kyle]

Hi,

As you know I'm just a simple honest young man that likes to come on and discuss topics of the day and what have you with honest, salt of the earth fellas. Recently there has been an influx of heavily sexualised threads which has somewhat hampered my Tibb experience. Now I'm not one to complain about these things but I'm just a simple young rural boy brought up in a devoutly Christian household and I fear that, having recently discussed this with my priest Father Declan, it's possible I may now go be going to Hell for bearing witness to these terrifying subjects of debauchery and Paganism.

Now I was kinda banking on getting to play bridge with the big man himself when my time came but yet I don't want to see the heathen's without their trusty sex torture threads. Maybe a sub section for these threads away from the precious eyes of my brethren and I would be a suitable medium?

Thanks In advance, and God bless y'all!

[Jesus.]

Think this has already been asked for and dismissed numerous times (I know you wouldn't know that), and it's always only a couple of people that ever feel the need for it. There is a 18+ social group though.

[Josy]

This had been requested and discussed so much before.

We won't be adding an 18+ section to the forum, there isn't any real need for that kind of section on here and there is no fair way of moderating who gets access since there's no way of proving for definite what a member's age is, it could possibly split the forum up into age orientated groups/cliques and also be pretty unfair on the younger members.

This is why the 18+ social group was created.

I do agree with you about the influx of sexual threads lately though, I see no need for them really on a BB forum where we have members as young as 13 amongst us, in fact some of the threads make me feel a tad uncomfortable and I am far from prudish but some must feel the need to discuss those sort of things so I would say just don't read the threads :shrug:

I might actually start removing the more graphic threads actually.

[Kyle]

Was my story not convincing enough?

I knew I should have gone with the "four year old cousin read Tibb and asked me what a dildo was" angle :facepalm:

Sheriff, I have failed you.

[Josy]

I'm sure the sheriff can find plenty 18+ forums on google if he so wishes.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I did not know that you could get one bigger than 18?

[Jack_]

I wouldn't be against it but I don't see the issue with certain posts and threads made on here anyway. Yes there's 13+ members but um...they probably understand almost everything that's being said in them, I know I did when I signed up to this forum. They aren't eight, they're thirteen...I don't see the big issue to be honest.

Dis iz descwimmunatuin!

(Please note I was joking on that last post)

[Cherie]

Just think of all the threads you would be missing out on Cuda makes me sad

Would be fun for the first day or two but the novelty would soon wear off

Well it's a big issue to some members Jack, a few have commented about feeling uncomfortable lately with some of the conversations that have been going on, I'm not saying that no one should mention sex on the forum that would be ridiculous but theres a place for graphic sexual discussion and it's not on a bb forum with members as young as 13 years old, and it doesn't matter how or what they know I still don't think their parents would be happy to find out they had been involved in sexual discussions online with people sometimes more than double their age.

i agree with this statement

Well my answer to those that are uncomfortable with such threads would be...don't open them, and those who create them should place a graphic content warning in the title just to be fair. But I guess that's a more acceptable and understandable reason to ban them than age - which is definitely not. I don't think any 13 year olds on here have been 'involved' in any sexual discussions, probably just read them...and if you went into any Year 8/Year 9 class in a high school in anywhere across the UK you would hear much, much worse conversations than are being had on this forum, believe me. 13 year olds aren't stupid, or innocent.

Also, if parents are really that concerned at that age - then they should be monitoring their online activity and actually should be wondering why they want to be talking to a load of 20/30 year olds on a forum anyway. It isn't this forums job to parent a load of under 16's.

[michael21]

this thread gone of topic we not having a 18+ section

there are loads of site that have 18+ section so i been told :whistle:

there no need for one on here

[Josy]

Well then you clearly don't have a clue about half the stuff that goes on here.

If a parent asks a kid under 16 what they are doing and they say browsing/posting on a BB forum then I doubt very much that parent will automatically assume that anything else other than BB gets discussed on here, so no it isn't a forums job no one implied it is, that still doesn't change the fact that most responsible parents wouldn't be happy having their young child discuss sex with adults online.

And please don't preach to me about what 13 year olds know and discuss, I was that age too but discussing things at school or with friends is completely different circumstances.

It also works both ways, I can pretty much guarantee that most parents on here don't feel comfortable seeing members that are similar aged to their children have these types of discussions.

So my answer to people that feel the need to post or read OTT sexual threads would be to go find a more suitable website or forum.

[michael21]

hold on is there every any sexual discussions on bb or cbb #luisa zissman #jasmine waltz #lionel blair

the parent should be worry very worry :worry:

[T*]

I haven't said I was uncomfortable with anything, I think I'm the only 13 year old on this forum IIRC

[Josy]

I haven't said I was uncomfortable with anything, I think I'm the only 13 year old on this forum IIRC

I wasn't referring to a specific age Cuda, just replying to Jacks part about 13 year olds.

Even so like I said above just because you don't feel uncomfortable doesn't mean others feel the same way.

[T*]

Ah okay, I get you.

[Kyle]

I haven't said I was uncomfortable with anything, I think I'm the only 13 year old on this forum IIRC

Your the only 13 year old that's come forward to my knowledge. Most people you can only really guess their age range and even then you could be off. I'm 25 and I'd be mortified if I was in one of these threads discussing openly risque things to find out certain contributors were 13,14 or 15.

Why are you being rude? I wasn't to you

I can only think of a handful of under 16 members anyway, so I'd need to be shown some examples of this underage sexual discussion happening...not that there is anything wrong with that anyway...people under 16 are allowed to discuss and think about sex (though I do see the issue with people over 18 feeling uncomfortable discussing it with them, that I do understand - but then isn't that why an over 18 section has been suggested in the past anyway?).

They aren't different circumstances at all. My original point was that there's been no discussions on here that the large majority of 13 year olds wouldn't understand, in which case banning them to 'protect their innocence' or whatever is an unnecessary reason, it changes nothing.

As for the parents asking what they're doing online and not assuming there'd be sexual discussions on a Big Brother forum...I really, really don't think that should be the top of their priorities, considering there is actual depictions of sex available for them to watch quite freely, which they probably are watching (not that I think there's anything wrong with that either but that's a separate discussion altogether), so this issue pales into insignificance in that respect anyway.

I'm not really bothered on this issue either way, the main reason I posted in the first place was because I objected to the idea that they should be banned because of the 13 year olds on here.

Yeah this is kind of the point I'm trying to make, now if you were mortified think how the parents of kids that age would probably feel or even how would you feel if it was your kid involved in these discussions.

I wasn't rude at all Jack, I felt part of your post was coming across as very preachy when there was really no need for it.

I'm not sure what you mean here? who would be banned?

[thesheriff443]

casey and jasmine both sucked lee off in the toilets , we all knew what was going on, even the 13 year old viewers!.

bigbrother is an adult show with adult content, I feel this forum should also have adult content within reason!, I have never uploaded any graphic pictures and feel I make threads that are within the rules.

you could also argue that threads discussing suicide or drinking heavily are not appropriate.

I agree with you here. I'm 25 also and find it not only mortifying but also very creepy when certain members talk about things in very graphic detail knowing there are minors on here. And its not only in specific threads but in some of the communal chat threads too.

It would divide the forum even more though :( People could lie about their age to see it too :(

ammi made a dilemma thread, in which, the scenario was, your neighbor raped your 8 year old daughter!,

members post real life news reports, which contain details of how children where raped and tortured!.

stop labeling certain members as creepy!.

what next?, there are gay members on this, and we cant let all the straight kids be tainted by gays!

give me a break!.

[thesheriff443]

No one said otherwise.

no, what you want is to have total control over this site and only let members make threads if they are approved by you and what you think personally is appropriate.

you cant help yourself but post in threads when some members are having a joke, between them selves, then come up with im not a prude or I like joke as much as anyone, but not those type of jokes,

this thread was made by kyle as a joke?, I think, I have been mentioned but have not spoken to kyle about the need for an 18 plus section!.

I made a joke thread about dildos, I also made a serious thread about condom use, yet now it seems im a sexual predator!

[Kizzy]

I don't mind tongue in cheek humour, there have been threads discussing some very risque topics and I think they are inappropriate. There is an 18+ bit for that stuff, as said there are plenty of forums specifically for adult conversation I don't think that here is the place.

[Ammi]

..there is a huge difference between posting a hypothetical dilemma and making more personal adult posts, as there is a difference in something being a news story etc ...I personally agree with Eoin, there have been times when I haven't felt comfortable with things discussed in threads so I have just left them or ignored a conversation if it's a chat thread... one of the things about this site/forum is that it has a huge age range of people and that those people all mix together, not separate off into different 'age groups' otherwise it won't be the forum it is anymore and what makes it different from many others and there also aren't enough 'regular' members for that to happen either..there are many sites that have adult sections so if that's people's preference, then there are alternatives, while still being on TiBB for the more 'family/community' feel of it...

No not at all sheriff.. there have been threads in the past about sexual positions and things like that. It would be hypocritical to suggest some are inappropriate and others not.

You'll not be thrilled with me sheriff when I make this post (and you know I like a bit of cheeky banter and I'm not a prude) but Josy's spot on here. I've seen a lot of comments recently that are very graphic and crude, one example being references to rough sex, and some quite derogatory stuff. There was even a post made in Meet the Members where someone asked another member to Skype with him. Massively iffy. And it's not all from one member so I'm not singling anyone out but it's a select few. The majority don't do it, and there's nothing wrong with banter, to a reasonable extent, but there's a line that shouldn't be crossed.

Ammi's thread was a moral dilemma thread. There was nothing whatsoever explicit, graphic or disturbing about it.

[lostalex]

I'd rather the whole forum was 18+ than have a separate section. Children shouldn't be watching big brother anyway, don't they have homework to do? I guess it's in the summer, so they aren't in school, but they should be at camp or something.

Anyways, I think registration should be for 18+, then we wouldn't have to worry about it.

How many members do we actually have that are under 18 anyway? do the mods have any stats on that?

[Ammi]

content is content!, some younger members may find reading about rape uncomfortable!, so does that mean we don't post about it!, no, it means they don't have read the thread!

..no one read about rape, it was referred to as a dilemma topic..it's interesting that you specifically refer to a post of mine when there are so many 'explecit' posts/threads you could have referred to, if you felt the need to single any out..anyway, it's not interesting enough for me to want to pursue your persistent targeting of me..I don't think that being an 'adult' is just to do with an age, it's also a level of maturity that even some quite 'mature' adults don't always have....

Dear me. You'd be culling at least half the members if that was implemented. There's tons of other sites if you desire to talk sexually graphic. This is for reality tv.

so the thought of a child being raped is not put in your mind to process when you read that thread!,

a real life scenario made into a dilemma thread!

I stand by my own posts!, I not here to corrupt the younger members, this forum is a choice, it contains adult language and topics that can be found in episodes of big brother!, it also deals with themes of an adult nature, when members express real experiences.

[Kizzy]

It was just an example ammi don't get huffy.
The last part of your post is a but rude towards sheriff I feel, I see he is feeling like he's being challenged as the only person to post threads or make comments with adult content of course he isn't there have been lots.

[lostalex]

How many members are actually under 18?

Maybe they should add age in the sidebar profile thingy under our avatars that way we'll know if we are dealing with children.

Also i don't think it's wrong to talk about sex in front of teenagers. Is it also wrong to talk about alcohol in front of people who are under 21?

stop trying to make it personal, my reference to you is a reply to your reference to me and vice versa!

mention rape in any context and your mind will process it as rape!

i don't care about you ammi!, go back and look at my entire post history you are not there!, i have not had conversation with you in months!

you have a problem!, not me!.

It is unfair to single out Sherriff on this, there are plenty people who post threads on sexual matters, and in fairness to Sheriff he posts on all sorts of subjects.

I know lots of people who watch big brother and who are 13

[AnnieK]

To be fair, Sheriff has singled himself out. No-one has specifically mentioned threads let alone posters. As Kate, Josy etc mentioned there has been a lot recently.

I personally am not a prude but don't feel the need to discuss sexually explicit themes with a bunch of strangers on a forum. I certainly don't want to be discussing them around or with minors and if I were to find my son doing that, he wouldn't be using the Internet for a long time. I don't comment on threads that I'm not comfortable with and that's that.

[lostalex]

Ummm no your just saying that people under 18 are a child

I'm 16 and I don't act like a child and I am not classed as a child

[lostalex]

Ummm no your just saying that people under 18 are a child

I'm 16 and I don't act like a child and I am not classed as a child

well i agree 16 isn't a child, i was being a bit sarcastic because obviously some people on this forum think anyone under 18 should be treated like a child, and like you can't handle any talk about sexuality.

I think 16 y/o's are probably the most sexual people on the planet lol. I know I was when i was 16. So i was just pointing out how ridiculous it is that we need to censor ourselves.

I'm answering a a thread here in the suggestions forum as you can see I'm not the only member that thinks some of the threads and posts lately have been inappropriate.

It was just an example ammi don't get huffy.
The last part of your post is a but rude towards sheriff I feel, I see he is feeling like he's being challenged as the only person to post threads or make comments with adult content of course he isn't there have been lots.

Sheriff is the one getting personal Kizzy, no one even mentioned him apart from Kyle as some sort of joke.

How many members are actually under 18?

Maybe they should add age in the sidebar profile thingy under our avatars that way we'll know if we are dealing with children.

Also i don't think it's wrong to talk about sex in front of teenagers. Is it also wrong to talk about alcohol in front of people who are under 21?

There's a few under 18 members, no one should be forced to disclose their age online and again no one said sex shouldn't be discussed in front of members under a certain age but it doesn't stop older members feeling uncomfortable about it.

It is unfair to single out Sherriff on this, there are plenty people who post threads on sexual matters, and in fairness to Sheriff he posts on all sorts of subjects.

No one singled Sheriff out.

so the thought of a child being raped is not put in your mind to process when you read that thread!,

a real life scenario made into a dilemma thread!

I stand by my own posts!, I not here to corrupt the younger members, this forum is a choice, it contains adult language and topics that can be found in episodes of big brother!, it also deals with themes of an adult nature, when members express real experiences.

With respect, short of having a lobotomy there is no avoiding the horrible aspects of today's society and things that happen. The point being made is NOT that these things should never be mentioned, it is that certain members repeatedly make graphic sexual comments about things they do/would like to do, don't assume I'm referring to yourself as I'm not, but threads you've made recently have immediately attracted unsavoury responses. That's not your fault and not what I'm trying to explain. It IS uncomfortable when a member posts in detail using explicit language about actual sexual acts, things they like/want to do which frankly is disturbing in a public thread. As has been pointed out this is a BBforum, not www.Hot and Horny.com.

Here in the UK Alex many 13 year old children think they are adults. If they are on the net they will find far worse on other sites than than they will on TiBB so I don't really see a huge issue with it all. Personally, if I don't like a thread I don't bother with it.

Wrong, kyle singled him out as he named him as the one wanting an 18+ forum.

No it's not wrong, Kyle's post about sheriff was a joke, they are friends as far as I'm aware?

No one else specifically mentioned sheriff he seems to have decided by himself that he was being referred to in the posts.

[Cherie]

I'm sure the sheriff can find plenty 18+ forums on google if he so wishes.

Josy!

[Kyle]

this thread was made by kyle as a joke?, I think, I have been mentioned but have not spoken to kyle about the need for an 18 plus section!.

I made a joke thread about dildos, I also made a serious thread about condom use, yet now it seems im a sexual predator!

Yeh my reference to the Sheriff was a joke. It was just meant to be a continuation on the dialogue in the dildo (I think?) thread.

Sheriff has never spoke to me about requesting an 18+ thread.

My apologies Sheriff if I put you in a difficult position.

Edit: it was the straight vs gay thread.

[Josy]

Josy!

Yes a joke in reply to Kyles.

Dear god.

[lostalex]

okay, everyone just calm down.... take a deep breath.... :joker:

[Kate!]

It was apparent to me that the OP was meant jokily.

[Kizzy]

.

No he isn't he only mentioned a dilemma thread posted by ammi... It wasn't personal.

[Josy]

He got personal with myself as well as Ammi.

[Josy]

So, like I said yesterday we wont be getting an 18+ section.

Closed.
