This sub forum is new to tPF, so we need to find our way with it. I surely did not think some graphic threads would come up here- but then again, I merely assumed that.

Just think before you post. If your post would be something you would not tell to a group of people in public, it probably does not belong here. If you have a question, just PM me, Vlad, or Sunshine.

As this sub forum grows we will begin to see what sort of parameters we need to set up etc

think about it - the overwhelming and vast majority of us (including myself) found this forum from GOOGLING. vlad and the techs have done a phenomenal job of making this place easy to find from search engines, which increases our traffic and makes this place the wonderful community that it is. if we start a section that fosters graphic sexual discussion, and those words become repeated on the board a lot, then when someone (a dirty old man, pehaps) googles them, tPF is going to appear on their list of choices - and what's more wonderful to a perv than a group of fairly young, attractive women talking graphically about their sex lives? do you guys really want that?

it becomes a HUGE moderation issue, because then those pervs start posting, opening threads with pornography, PMing members soliciting pics or dirty messages, etc. and then we get trolls peddling pornography because we're suddenly a place that might be receptive to it (i think trolls peddling fake bags and cell phones are irritating enough). it would do more harm than it is worth to the board and open up a can of worms that we're not equipped to deal with.

we probably need to take under review whether or not we're allowing those under 13 to register freely (honestly, it's been so long since i registered i'm not sure what it required), but this is not entirely about young members. not only is it a moderation issue, but many of our fully-grown members have complained about going into a section that's meant to talk about romantic and family relationships and being greeted by an ASSLICKING thread. come on, girls, let's use some class and decorum here. when we're honest with ourselves, we're all familiar with where approximately that line of good taste is, and let's stick to it. there's a way to ask a question graphically and a way to make it more tasteful, just like there's a way to respond to something without being totally lewd. if you have graphic sexual things that you want to talk about, this is not the place.

believe me, there are a LOT of places on the internet that foster that. some people have said that they'd rather do it here because those places make them uncomfortable, but if we start doing it here, then we're going to start attracting the sort of people that MAKE those other places uncomfortable, and it's just not worth it to do that so we can talk about asslicking and penis size.

Well said, Amanda.

Very well said.

It's just sad that some people have so much trouble 'getting' this. I don't understand why this is so difficult for some people.

I think people are being VERY respectful of the thread titles/contents at this point. Its great!!

This forum has turned into a place for people to share problems and truly seek advice. In a HONEST, heartfelt way...I have noticed lately that some are posting B.S. and wonder why other members call them out...please do not bother to post if its just lies. Thanks!!!
