Please note that there is a special area in the groups for more adult discussions. It was set up to keep more adult talk off the regular areas.

A current thread was closed please use correct areas for your posts

Hi Chuck.

The sexaholics thread is by invite only, so not just anyone can come and talk, that's why we have the Boom Boom room etc.

Also, the Sexaholics thread doesn't give notifications when someone has posted, there aren't any smilies, etc. etc.

Would it be okay to start a fun thread in the active members forum?

Why am I thinking of ross perot and the "big sucking sound" quote?

How do you get invited to the sexaholics?

Fr_Chuck · May 20, 2009, 07:37 PM

The issue was some of the adult posts on the public board. Which of course is open to minors

No good answer, except that perhaps we should try and keep some areas more open in some way.

It's hard to find a balance. Considering that some very young people can view the Members Discussions, I think we need to keep a certain amount of decorum.

Yes, Sexaholics is by invite only, by why not request invitations?

Maybe this is something I should bring up with Ben. A separate forum for adults only but with notifications and all the other bells and whistles of a regular forum.

I love the social groups forum, but even with the invite only option anyone can still come and read what we write, so it's really not keeping the minors out, just not allowing them to post.

I wonder if there's a way to do it. I'm not computer savy, so I don't know.

BEN! We need your puter skills! ;)

I agree, however, I thought my 7 year old, who is learning to read, and was outside, snuck up behind me and started to read the spanking in the Bow Chicka thread out loud. :eek:

Rarely do I read posts like these when my children are around, or awake for that matter. But my 7 year old does not have an account here and there are many young posters who do.

That might be a good idea if it is workable.

True J, but the issue is that anyone can still read the sexaholics thread, only members can post, but minors can still go and read and we're none the wiser because we can't even see that they're peeking.

I don't know what the balance would be.

If the invite only groups weren't viewable by all then that would be the answer, but they are. I can go into any group and read what's written even if it's an invite only group and I wasn't invited. I just can't post.

J_9 · May 20, 2009, 07:55 PM

A... Even if you can see that they are peeking, what can you do about it?

True.

The thing is we thought in the beginning that invite only meant only the invitees could view and post on the thread, that's not the case.

I agree that we should have some way to prevent under 18's from viewing the more sexual threads, but social groups isn't the answer, at least not as is.

There has to be some way, some forum that is perhaps invite only, that is viewable only by the invitees, receives notifications etc. etc. Then the person who starts the thread can decide who is allowed in and who isn't. I know that none of the regulars would let under 18's in.

Like I said, not computer savvy, don't know if there's a solution.

BEN!! ;)

Well, Ben is sleeping right now. Maybe he will have an answer when he wakes.

You can't wake him up J? ;)

Oh poo! :D

I can wait, I've been known to be patient... ish. :)

Ben, we await your wisdom. Sleep tight.

I'd wake him, but CBW might get upset if I wake the kids cause the phone is ringing. ;)

True. I know I'm never happy when the phone rings in the middle of the night. I always answer it saying "someone better be dead!" It sucks when someone actually is. :o ;)

Fr_Chuck · May 20, 2009, 08:18 PM

I just turn my ringer off every night, even if someone is dead, they will still be dead the next moring

LMAO! So true! :p

I want an invite :(
I'm dirty and I'm not 12 :(

tkrussell · May 21, 2009, 02:53 AM

I entered this site as a guest, and found the adult room, using the link that Chuck posted in this thread, and was able to read all of the posts.

So not much privacy there, and anyone can read anything posted.

As Alt suggested, changes are in order.
