    We still have children and youngsters surfing here

    So, you lovely people, I need to ask a favour.

    Pretty please.

    Can we try to moderate the style of posts, and the content.

    I'm not pointing a finger at anyone, and as the mods have discussed it several times, we try our hardest to keep it open and friendly and not too controlled

    In fact we have the No 1 community here. Period.

    But I need you guys to all try to keep the 18+/Adult stuff down a few notches.

    Is that ok?

    Can you all do that for us?

    Thanks for reading. Comments, as ever, gratefully recieved, looked at and then argued about

    I know where your coming from, but 99% of people do put a warning in the title, with anything offensive, possibly not for young people, not work safe etc.

    So most people are aware of what the thread is about just from reading the title..

    This doesn't solve the youngesters reading things

    I bet it was the 1st thing you looked at.
    I didn't say that at all, I was just saying that 99% of the threads in this sort of situation have a warning in the title.

    your computer is similar to a fridge in that if it cannot keep a beer cold then it sucks

    Maybe you could have a forum area called The Pub or something and have all those who have registered as over 18+s in there. Not quite sure how popularity of that will go but just a harmless suggestion

    Why would the hosts complain? It doesn't have to be just about sex drugs and rock 'n' roll. It could just be for anything thats irrellevent to children(mortgages, houses, parenting) where most of what is inputted by children isn't going to be apreciated, along with all the risque stuff.

    You people obviously have no idea the amount of time that would take to moderate
    Plus the fact that we have no realistic way of confirming who is 18+

    Look, this is not up for debate guys.

    This is a totally reasonable request.

    Please, lets just keep it clean.

    Yeah, I guess it would be abused a good bit.

    Look, this is not up for debate guys.

    This is a totally reasonable request.

    Please, lets just keep it clean.
    Comments, as ever, gratefully recieved, looked at and then argued about
    I don't think anyones seriously disagreeing or complaining, mostly just people commenting, and then waiting for their comments to be argued about

    As for me, not that I would have posted anything like that before, but, request recieved loud and clear.

    It doesnt really bother me, if you didnt set any rules then the website would fall apart. With the suport forums you want to try and keep the genral feel on the fun but formal side and not turn into some of the rubbish failed tec forums that clutter the net. Genrally packed with spammers, pr0n and warez.
