Over 18s Group

godfrey · 06-02-2006, 11:55

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.

were have you seen it advertised?

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.

Totally lost on this one

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.

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.

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.

Neil · 08-02-2006, 10:02

It sounds like you have covered all the angles Roy.
