Mature Section of the Forum

Well, Metallix was playing with this idea a few months or weeks ago, something like that and I liked it a lot.

Basically, it would be nice if there was a place where we could, I dunno, talk about anything and not have people breathing down our necks because someone said "rape" or "Goatse".

I know the whole "You don't need to swear to get your point across" topic was spoken about before, but this is different, 'cause we'd be able to joke around, too, so mods wouldn't have to slap a warn on us for calling someone a douchebag or something. :\ (I know it's the job of mods/admins to make sure that doesn't happen, but within the mature forum, hopefully people would be willing to take it as a joke.)

It'd all be light-hearted fun and, well, it doesn't have to be visible to people who don't want to see it. There could be a warning asking for the member to agree that they think they're mature enough to join in.

I think it's a cool idea. Hopefully I won't get replies like "This is a kids forum!" because that point's pretty irrelevant if you really think about it.

It could be password protected if anyone thinks a simple "Are you mature?" pop-up isn't enough. Anyone over a certain maturity level/age could message a staff member for the password. I've been to a few respectable forums that had a "mature" section, and actual discussion went on inside it, not just jokes about bumholes and NSFW pictures.

I fully endorse this idea.

I wouldn't mind seeing a mature side of the forum. But since some may not want to involve, this so called section should then be password protected. I wait to see other opinion's though. But i give thumbs up. If it's protected that is from under age of 18 or something like that.

Shoot i said the same thing. :P

If people are interested in mature discussion they could always request the password or be put in a hidden group that gives access to the forum.

Huh? What's that post above me say?

Well, after kind of thinking about it and having minor fears at first, I don't think it'll be that bad, so long as it's protected and no one under the specific limit age can't get in. It has to be monitored by a moderator or administrator, of course, but I just hope that it won't get out of hand. I approve of it, so long as it's maintained properly.
If someone asks me if I'm enjoying life, unless it's something really unforgivable, I can't help but answer that I am. No matter how much despair there is, I'm satisfied with just living...Just being allowed to be here really is a wonderful thing.

That's why it should be protected by a password or hidden group, so people who don't want to see it like you right now don't need to.

I still can't use this.

Indeed, I endorse this idea as well. It would be good to allow our mature members to stretch their legs without being so confined to the stipulations of this board. And it would also allow some of the mods to stop getting chomped on for actually conforming to protocol. As far as I see it, it's a win-win for everybody. X3;;

An admin approves of this idea? Brilliant!

Of course, could the filters be turned off in the Mature Forum?

I think filters apply to all the boards, but you could always dodge the filters like me :D

I don't mind the filters being completely turned off for it, although that still doesn't mean you can drop 25 f-bombs in one sentence. XP;; We'd still want you guys to create posts with some semblance of quality. Otherwise, it'd be a place just to run wild, now wouldn't it?

How far would this "Mature" thing go? I wouldn't like to see....you know....in a topic. But I'm mature enough to say things like **** (Censored on purpose).

I think the allowance of sexual content will have to be at an absolute minimal or non-existent, apparently because the TOS of Zetaboards states that it isn't allowed. XP
