Can we have an over 18 thread?

Post by DISJT »

Once again the Mod's have shut down a thread with their overzealous implementation of the rules.

Why? Because of a few written swear words?

Although I highly doubt a single person took offence, maybe the answer is to have an over 18 thread where these things can be discussed, by us grown ups.

Anyone easily offended can then avoid the thread.

Wash your mouth out Chris, and then sit in the corner and write 100 times ‘we are not allowed to have fun’ :lol:

Do we have any under 18’s here :? ....I don’t mind the odd swear word as long as it’s in context and not aggressive or a personal insult :D

Rules are rules.

Without them we'd be sharing photos of naked firearms and commenting on Curmudgeon's corner posts.

And then where would we be?

this is the CW watch forum. i don't need or want an over 18 thread. i can find that sort of content anywhere elsewhere on the internet.
the 'swearing' thread was - to me - hilarious - just an outburst of swearing faced with the possibility of never ever being able to swear again. it pushed some limits and asked some questions. i don't think the forum needs to asterisk swear words, but i'm quite happy if that's the way the forum goes. i don't think i've ever sworn in a post, and can find perfectly reasonable other ways to express myself.

i do think, though, that asterisking swear words across the board might have the opposite effect - making us feel freer to swear because we know it will be automatically 'dealt with' by the forum algorithm

whatever - onwards! i don't feel like i'm being squelched by having my swear words asterisked. paranoia is not well placed - this forum is a pleasant place to be, and long may it be that way. :D :thumbup:

The simple answer to that would then be ‘don’t click on it’. It’s all about choice.

Swear words are just words. The "offence" if taken is the choice of the reader.
