Adult Posts

[Caz]

I love this forum as many others do, but I am totally fed up of seeing adult posts all over the place.

Really severe adult domain names mixed in with lists of others, domain appraisals for lame but never the less adult domains, and even for sale domains in the general board.

My partner recently introduced a new member who wants their teenager boys to take up domaining, but cant let them use the site due to all the inappropriate posts.

Yes people hang around in the same place, they want to have banter, I understand this, but surely the forum needs to decide how matey it should be.

I dont care if I get banned for saying this, as i'm planning on not really taking part much anymore anyway, but if I see any more illegal domains, I will be reporting them. Which I would do if I saw them advertise it anywhere else and not just a forum thing.

I mean the severe ones that can only be in relation to illegal activity of an adult nature.

Adult domains should be in the adult section.

I'm pretty open minded but I cringe sometimes when I see some adult names in the main for sale section, especially given that children may see them, stood next to mum or dad if they're on the computer etc..

Give us some examples

As for the teenage boys...they've probably looked at everything under the sun online already. That's what teenage boys do.

+10 from me. Put them in the "Adult" section (that's what it's there for) or nowhere.

From what a couple of posts have mentioned, the 'adult' section appears to only be shown if opted in through the control panel.

Assuming that's correct, perhaps part of the problem is that people aren't realising this and can't find anywhere else to put them? (not defending the suspects btw, I agree completely)

Not leaving the world of domaining and Acorn behind are you Caz?

100% with you on this. I am completely against porn/adult of any kind. However I do understand why some people use / make money off it.

Anything adult orientated should be opt in (imo)

I just disagree with the dont care attitude lately and posts left right and center.

As for domaining, hats of to everyone who does it, its not easy at all, especially if you have a family, like lots of people on here.

I'm just going to try and spend less time visiting acorn thats all which as you all know is hard when its just a click away on your mobile phone lol

If you are referring to my thread from earlier then I wasnt aware there was an adult section and i didnt think celebrity juggs was particularly offensive. If you are talking about other posts then my apologies, but this thread seems to have popped up shortly after my listing.
