Rated R forum, thoughts? Options

[superstitious]

Please know that Jusun has not been talked to about this, so nothing is even close to being set in stone.

Having said that, what do you guys think about having a forum for 17+ members only that can have rated R (perhaps NC17?) content? There would be some kinks to work out, of course, such as verifying member age. There would definitely have to be some type of honor system involved, to some extent.

This would give people of a more mature age the opportunity to post subject matter they are not able to post in the Community Center. I've seen this work very well on another forum.

Thoughts? Hate mail? Love mail?

I like. But how many people here fit that discription?

[vintage-toile]

this may encourage "that sort of talk" in other places, and people could always lie about their age, or take advantage of the forum.

Hence the honor system Rebecca mentioned. But we are not liable for anything that happens if people choose to lie about their age.

only-tuesdays: Most active CreateBlog members are 17+.

[vintage-toile]

i guess so, but i didnt think that was what createblog was about.
if people want to disucss those sorts of things surely there's other places for it.

[*absinthe*]

I don't really care. If it happens, cool. If it doesn't, cool.

[brooklyneast05]

i don't get really get the point of this. what's the difference? what are we going to post there than we can't post here? i duno how there could be enough content to warrant a need for this really.

[superstitious]

Well, this sort of came about (in my head) because of this sentiment I've felt lately from others regarding not being able to post > PG13 content and the idea of adding something to the Community Center that would allow people to feel free to post such content. I'm not even sure Jusun will even go for this, but it doesn't hurt to ask, right?

I brought it up Backstage and then brought it up here, to see what the community might think of it. You don't see a need, that's totally alright. That's why it's in Feedback, to get opinions. =)

[brooklyneast05]

yeah i suppose i don't get what it is they want to post that can't be posted here though. ummm i duno, i thought maybe someone had an example of the kind of post/topic.

I wanted to have something like this three years ago, but I got the health forum instead

[lkajsfklajskds]

I've been to a few forums who have mature content sections for 18+ members only. Most of them set a minimum post count as well as age verification.

I think it's a good idea, I mean, there are topics there that discuss sex, sex positions, in a more explicit way that might not be appropriate for younger audiences.

[Just_Dream]

As long as it doesn't turn into a place full of explicit internet memes or the like that I see from 4chan's /b/tards, then it's all good. Although it's not really a forum that I would want to visit, since I am unaware of what might actually be posted there if such a forum is created.

I thought this had come up before, somehow.

I don't dislike this idea. I don't really care *shrug*

Ha ha, I was gonna say. It would just turn cB into another 4chan.

Agreed.

[Amaranthus]

I don't care for the idea, maily because I still don't see what you can't say in front of a 15 year old that you can't say in front of an 18 year old.
Sex, drugs,...politics?
Trust me, we speak of these.
