Adult Area
 

Is it possible to use the user registration details namely the date of birth to restrict areas to those under or over a certain age group.

That way adult orientated material like certain types of jokes could be entered on an over 18's forum without having to worry about upsetting the children or others of a sensitive nature?

And if it makes minors feel better you could always add an under 18's forum.

It would be unfair.

I'd love this...though I fear it would just be really smutty :p

Why? If under 18's were given their own little area to play in to balance an over 18's area.

I'm all for an adult area, but with no age restrictions. Just one rule.

"If you don't like it, stay the **** out."

Would be perfect.

Well do you mean like keep all adult jokes like dirty/sick ones to the adult area?

Or both are treated the same and can say the same stuff?

Also, make the swear filter optional in the user control panel.

I would love to hear reasons as to why this is a bad idea.

Well ideally if someone wanted to post what some may find offensive, if they were posted in an over 18's area first they could also be vetted to see if they were indeed suitable for inclusion on the general forums.

I think an 18+ forum would be good but I don't think it should have an age restriction, people will just lie to get in

Maybe it should just be for members only too, so guests can't view it

This.

**** the swear word filter!
Its not as if we all havent heard the words Bastard,Dick,****,****,**** etc out on the street.

I would use italic to show them words but James gave me a warning for it the other day for doing that, so I cant.


I mean tbh, censoring **** still botheres me.

It comes out everyones asses every day, its hardly offensive.

I always get the feeling Patrick swears just because it sounds cool, ya know?

I mean swearing is one thing, but using it after every ****ing word is a bit ****ing much? I mean, SH!T!

Well swear words and names dont bother me, however I know some people dont like them, obviously some people have complained about the use of various words on the general forum. And i know lots of women just dont like the c word.

Yeah I don't think the age restrictions would work. But even if someone did break the age restriction, if they fitted in nicely and nobody knew any better it would mean they are mature and level headed enough to be posting in the adult section anyway. And if they fail that test - give em' the kick :blush:.

Agreed

Yeah people could lie however if they have lied, about their age and at a later date their parents complain about something that they have read on the forums it falls to the parents for failing to adequately supervise their child on the net.

WTF I dont even swear that much!

I'm all for it. But I'd want in lol.

You could do what SIN do, and make it a subscription forum, so you need to ask permisson to be able to view it. Would keep spammers out and stuff.

just make everyone fill in their DOB and then lock it, many forums dont let you edit your DOB once its filled in. that could avoid young newbies but then you still have messes like Jack and Patrick trying to get in.

and maybe it should be 16+ seeing as thats the legal sex age and theres not much difference between an 18yo and a 16yo. just a thought.

I thought that the point of a FORUM, was open discussion available to all. You can't discount ppls opinions etc because of their age etc. next it will be fat ppl or old ppl (like me!). If you want to tell someone a dirty joke message them!

well I cant think of very many if any younger members that ever contribute an well written fully informed opinion so whats the point. and it's not like the over 18s are locked in, just for certain topics, the rest of the forum is still free for all.

Oh just ****.

This forum clearly have nothing else to talk about except talk **** about me and jack, make younger members feel like **** and think they are better than people.

Get over yourself.

first of all, no I wont ****.

and second of all, leave if you don't like what the forum 'clearly has nothing else to talk about' why don't you?

In my experience they don't usually work and people would just re-reg with second ID's to get access. On a forum this size it would be hard to monitor and they are hideous to moderate. Even if you think anything goes you'd be surprised by the legalities you still have to abide to. Fine for the members. Tough on the staff

Added to that people would just post in there and the main board become a ghost town and look un-used and dead to new possible members.

Not against it. Just adding some info as I've witnessed it first hand

Because I ****ing joined here to talk about BB, I like talking to people like Samy,Jack,Steph,Jords,Stacey,Jess etc who are actually good people.

Theres always the majority though who think they can get away with whatever, because they can.. so walk over everyone unless they happen to be over 18 and have been on here more than 2 years.

So I can stay on here if I want, who do you think you are.

LOL @ mess as if you think I can't hold an adult discussion or debate.

Well honey, I think you'll find I never disputed the fact you could stay here if you wanted to. I simply asked why are you staying here if what members choose discuss bothers you so much.

and I never called anyone a bad person, for the matter, either.

Because I like it here and im not going to let a few bitches get me off a site I enjoy posting on.

I love how any critique of the younger members, who are in fact mostly useless, is instantly deemed invalid because of these whacko conspiracys that all the old members sit around in caves all night scheming elaborate flaming plots on da new kidz that we won't get warned for.

As for the age trouble, screw the age, just make a blue, filthy subsection anyway. Then, if you are offended at that sort of thing, stay the hell out. Simple.

Well clearly you don't like it that much seeing as you just voiced your disdain for what you said the majority of the forum had nothing else to talk about. So if you love it so much, **** about what I choose to talk about and spend your time talking to those 'good people'.

and thank you for calling me a bitch btw.
xo

Because its true, this forum at this moment in time now that BB isnt on have **** all to talk about.

So they pick other members and then insult them in as many diffrent ways they can find, the other member cant say anything back because we would get infractions and thats that.


I cant wait until May, when BB Chat comes back and the majority of you all can shut up and stop making threads and posts to try and make other members look stupid.

bahahaha are you being deadly serious?

oh patrick, I don't try to make you look stupid, you, as I think most would agree, do a very good job of that all by yourself.

Seriously dude SHUT UP ABOUT INFRACTIONS. You got a few and now you think your a fucking martyr who can tell other people not to insult because you were caught yourself.

I got news for you, people like me and Shaun have been here for years, and yet I doubt any of these poor victimised newbies have half the amount of infractions we have combined. Older members get warned too. Open your eyes.

OH **** THIS SITE.
*Logs off*

You really need to change your attitude ...

Valid points however, I wasnt thinking that it would be open for all subjects, mainly stuff that isnt really suitable for posting on the main forums. Not just anything goes obviously but strict limits on what can and cant be posted.

Having multiple ID's simply gets people temporarily banned then you cant really use any of the forums. So would it be worth signing up for a second in use account?

THAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR she blows!

pmsl ttyl now
x.

I was just thinking the mods/admin having to monitor/check second ID's. More for them ontop of a busy forum that has enough trouble with that happening as it is. Would it become tenfold if underage people wanted access or to try their luck at least?

Will you all please stop arguing in an otherwise fine thread?! jesus christ :bored:
