View Full Version : Just an idea...
Ive seen this done in other forums, but just raising the point.
Ive noticed lately there are a lot of young members, some of the youngest ranging from 12 -13, and in the past we have had some quite old topics. Whats your views on having a +18 section? Where only over 18's can enter, where we can talk about older things like sex, and swearing is allowed.
If it was ever to happen, it will protect younger eyes and keep the older people happy. Obviously the section would have its own rules and there will be certain things/images that can't be posted just as respect.
Opinions?

Good idea, but wait until i am 18 :thumbs:
I do not want to feel left out

Think it's a good idea, but maybe members over the age of 16 as that is the age of consent for sex etc.
I would like it... If I was 18..
Haha.

I think its a good but how can people make sure tht youger people dont get in it? They could lie about there age x
I've brought this up before and I'm sure Lauren and Linda have too.
I think it would be awesome, then I can freely talk about my genitals and not get criticized :blush2:... like a bit of the forum and have a password on it that only older member know?
But I think people would have to prove their 18 first, which I doubt alot of people would do. I'm up for it though.
Roll on the sexual convos.

See that was the one thing that I thought would get raised, this whole Clique idea and people being left out. But it can be frustrating when we can't talk about these things because of younger viewers. Even basic things like saying what we want to do to certain housemates haha.

In some cases though, it's better to leave the younger ones out if it's about issues like sex and other 'mature' issues. I doubt a 13 year-old's parents would want their child reading about explicit sexual things.

It's got a few problems.
- How do people prove they're 18+?
- Might cause cliquey problems.
I guess to counteract the second issue it could be a rule not to discuss other members in the 18+ section (whether that be positively or negatively). Don't know about proving their age though.
Theres a certain someone .... waaaaaay older than most, who I've seen speak dirty to younger members ...
In theory an 18+ section would be good ... but how would we prove it? Anyone could just pretend to be 18 to get in

Thats true, but the section should not be visible to guests so when they join they have no idea about the section, then when you sign up. You shouldn't be able to change your age, and you can only get in the section once your age is 18.
If people create new accounts then they will get banned for having multiple accounts. And then if they get around with it, its their own fault if they see explicit things!

i think its a really good idea i have seen it done on other forums and was done on the age when signing up although guess it is open to being abused a bit but not sure how to get round it
i think 16+ would work but then i personally think the age should be raised on here for the sign ups anyway
Oh and before you enter the section there should be a warning where you have to accept the terms and conditions. And warnings that if you get found you will be banned, or warned. We know how old most of the current members are, and if Mark banned the changing of the age before telling anyone. Then thats fair, and if anyone wanted to change it, they will need to photocopy ID or something?
LOL i love the under 18s attempting to get us to agree on a lower age limit :joker:
I'm sorry but I want to swear without being told off and I want to post a picture of my.... lmao I'm kidding.

But people don't have to state their age to join, it's optional. And what about poeple who don't want persoanl details like their age plastered across a forum?

I agree, Big Brother is aimed at the age range of 16+ anyway. Some of the issues that are discussed on here about Big Brother aren't really appropriate for younger people.
I think the age for signing up should be raised to 15.

In this day and age only people over 18 will be a, too old to have gotten one as in there tearaway teen years they had'nt been invented.. or b, would be to old and ashamed to admit to it in public.
Only those under 18 would find it un cool to say no :joker::whistle:

Well that will take a bit of thinking to get around... maybe a private forum where you need to contact a member of staff. Then a password is given, or special rights?

Right... I am only saying 18+ because thats the age of consent for watching porn and stuff. Just being safe, but I am sure we could stretch too a 16+. But it would be what the moderators felt was needed.
All this would help the forum go down in threads that people under this age should not be reading.
Do the "Best Members" forum, and all of the regulars get to have a private forum and talk about sex and crap. I dunno. Or have a Sex forum. haha

Yes but ultimately if you were never to post in there/post in there it would give people an indicationd of your age.
A froum should be a place where you can post your opinions anonomusly and debate without anyone having to know anything about you. I'm not saying I don't want anyone to know anything about, but that is one of the properties of a forum.

That defeats the point, I am doing this to prevent young eyes seeing them. It would never go below 16, and I doubt below 18. You are all onl calling it stupid because you are below 18.

It's worth pointing out that internet forums are not made for children and Big Brother is a program which is aired after the watershed and often contains sexually explicit content.
If parents don't want their kids exposed to explicit content or conversations, then perhpas they should keep a closer eye on what their kids do on the net.

Which is maybe why the admins should higher the age limit so that young eyes do not see some of the content which is talked about on here.
Gah I knew all these excuses would come from the younger members, It was just an idea... it might never happen. So no one will win, I am sure you will get over it if you can't see one little section. The section might never even kick off you never know.
I was just trying to stop younger people seeing things we keep posting about, I mean when we have threads about vagina's and penis' it is not suitable. But whatever, if you want young kids seeing that then fine.
Or do something better, raise the age level to 16+, lets go extreme.

I don't see how it's the admins responsibilites what these young eyes see.
What would be more suitable would be if an admin were to notice a thread that they deemed too mature, they could make it so that you would have to verify you were of a certain age before going into the thread.

maybe rather than a secret area apart from raising the sign up age putting tibb as a forum where you have to be a signed up and signed in member rather than availiable for guests to read as well

Ok well there wouldn't be a clique, I dont see the obsession with Cliques =/. Also having a thread where only certain people can talk in is basically the same as having a small section where only certain people can talk in. We could even tie them both together and have the section then if there was a too mature thread posted in a normal section its moved.
I am just saying its an idea, and would be fun for us older members that want to talk about older things.
MarkWaldorf
04-01-2009, 08:26 PM
I like the idea, especially for younger members who aren't mature enough or just too young to see some of the stuff posted on here.
Where as I'd prefer 16+, I agree with Fom that 18 is the age of watching/buying porn or what ever. Is the forum really allowed to do stuff like that for 16/17 year olds without parental consent or something?
30stone
04-01-2009, 08:29 PM
Meh i think 16 would be good the age you can have sex legally??
Im 17 so i dont really like the 18+ thing.. but its a very good idea.

I've never understood why sex in the real world is 16+ but sex or anything sexual related is 18+ on the internet. But there is probably a reason, and thats why I have raised the idea of 18+.
As I said, its up too the moderators and what they think is suitable. I would prefer a 16+ section than none at all. But I can imagine a LOT of 16 year olds going in and giggling at everything.

It's not an obsession it;s a big issue on forums. You think that if over 18s were given an entire sub forum to themselves, they wouldn't form cliques? Whether or not it's intentional, it is enevitable.

04-01-2009, 08:33 PM
its so funny all the under 18s who have issue with it
also it wouldnt be cliquey the only people complaining are those who are not old enough to use anything like it including some that are some of youngest on here who if were my child i wouldnt even want watching bb let alone discussing adult topics all of the older members have been where you are now in being younger than age limits such as drinking clubbing etc
Not all..
I think its a great idea... obviously because I am under 18 I would prefere over 16... but if over 18 would suit the forum better and would be safer I wouldn't mind... please don't compare us all to Gazbo..

I think its a great idea... obviously because I am under 18 I would prefere over 16... but if over 18 would suit the forum better and would be safer I wouldn't mind... please don't compare us all to Gazbo..
:tongue:
As I have stated before I don't actually care very much about whether I would be able to use it, I'm just looking at all the problems that go along with it.:rolleyes:
Personally I don't really want to discuss sex on a BB forum. I have other places for that.:whistle:
I have heard about your sleazy alleys behind asda.
Don't act like you didn't enjoy that "conversation" we had.
[LOL this is exactly the kind of talk Fom's talking about]
I know... lets be mature.
:sad:

16+ I reckon. 'Cos that's the legal age for sex, and most of us 16yos have drunk alchohol/smoked etc. (which was only made illegal like last year ... )

I've brought this up before and I'm sure Lauren and Linda have too.
I don't recall bringing it up.. and to be honest, it's probably a bit ageist.. I've already been on the receiving end of some ageist comments today, so I dun wanna be dishing any out. LoL

Hmm, tbh I think this is a Big Brother forum, and even though it would be fun, I dont think we should branch of in to adult issues... yet. :whistle:

Im 17 so i dont really like the 18+ thing.. but its a very good idea.
I've never understood why sex in the real world is 16+ but sex or anything sexual related is 18+ on the internet. But there is probably a reason, and thats why I have raised the idea of 18+.
As I said, its up too the moderators and what they think is suitable. I would prefer a 16+ section than none at all. But I can imagine a LOT of 16 year olds going in and giggling at everything.
I see what you mean but then i dont see too many people like that that are over 16 are there? .
