18+ / NSFW sub-forum?

[Bman]

Just an idea: Reading though recent threads where people are arguing about the content of some posts, would it be a good idea to create a sub-forum that any post that is NSFW or 18+ can be placed?

I assume its also possible to hide this forum for anyone who wants it hidden, unregistered users or those with an age of <18.

Obviously this forum would still need moderation, but at least the mods would expect the type of posts that would reside in this forum. The sub-forum could even have a dedicated mod (or two) if the normal mods wouldn't like to moderate it themselves.

That way we can still post "nuts like" threads and still keep the rest of the forum, family friendly.

I've seen similar sections on other forums but eventually they tend to self destruct when 2 or more members compete to see who can stretch push the boundaries the furthest.

i don't see the point. i just use the 'off' option on p&l cafe. i only see the bike related stuff now. also the block option works a treat as well.

I'm with Mr P on this - there's enough smut on the interwebs already, without CC being full of it.

i often roll into CC when i'm at work. If there was the slightest possibility of it having anything that would put my job at risk, i wouldn't come here.

I'm pretty sure this would apply to a lot of people

just get a sig line like mine

Agree with Mr. P, not a good idea methinks.

It was just a thought......

I thought it could help prevent everything you're all suggesting. Segregating it and putting it where people expect, away from the other sub-forums.

I don't think it would work. Tell people not to post smutty stuff and they do. Give them a safe area to post smutty stuff and it's a green light to go as bare as you dare.

So for that reason, and that reason alone, I'm afraid I'm out.

I could see that happening too.

But if you put strict limits on it, and drew the line clearly, It would remove all "smutty" threads from other sub-forums and put them in a place where people can look if they want, and not stumble across them when they don't (at work for instance).
