Gentle Reminder - PG Status of Forums

It has been noted that we've been "slipping into something a little too comfortable" lately, so I will take this opportunity to remind all and sundry that these forums are rated PG.

So please, before you post, think about whether your (hypothetical) 9 year old niece should be reading it and respond accordingly...

There are several threads around at the moment which border on too risque... gayfest, straightfest & the recently deleted spanking thread just to name a few. So, if a thread goes missing all of a sudden, and it's been borderline (or beyond), it has been sent to the red-light district of HOP. A dangerous, seedy place where no one dare enter.

Let's keep it clean

Thanks.

Yay! good to know that my 9 yo son will be able to continue to read some of these forums to learn about staff moves without running into too much other stuff

and where be this red-light district? lol seems.. interesting.. >.< sory i had to!

sowwy... I promise to be good

*Grabs FF around the...er...waist and drags her off to his lair for a proper...er...thank you*

Thanks, my dear!

*thinks of an 'over-age' area, where people's dob entered on registration determines whether the forum is visible or not*

Problem, MiG is that such an area would tend to turn into a cesspool very quickly, wouldn't it?

as opposed to what happens when we "slip into something more comfortable" as is?

thank god for that!

and there was a spanking thread? why wasnt i notified

I didn't get that invoice either.

It's just not fair!

Thankyou Flash Fire!!

You are Fantastic!

I'm jsut glad they are both gone, it just got really pointless!

I know Ive been warned in the bondage thread in the past... I will try to be a good girl FF.
Actually, thats another thread that came close at times

came close? that got killed many moons ago...

i think the idea of a locked area where only "over age" HoPpers are allowed would be a good idea MiG however it would be hard to police weather people were telling the truth on their registration forms it would be easy to imput a false DOB to gain access.

it could be done but would require a lot of effort to make it work

i thought about it ages ago when they deleted the bondage thread i liked that one

Or you could just start a HoP tribe/myspace/etc... on any of the other millions of adult friendly sites.

I do see a bit of a hypocracy with the fact that I feel that some of the FIRE information on this site is not appropriate for a 9 year old to be reading but I'll keep that to myself.

And I certainly always have and always will support any decision made by the HoP administration.

@screech: my way of thinking is that you can't even see the fact that there's a forum there until you are over 16/18 etc. Also, if someone lies specifically to gain access, then they are deliberately skirting rules to gain access, and therefore deserve what they get, whether that be a booting, or a thread full of smut.

Should we really be trying to protect someone that doesn't want to be protected?

HOP will maintain its stance as a PG friendly forum. No changes, or adult sections, are in planning at ths stage.

You could all come to my forum where you can be as rude as you like...
