Hmm...Xev seems to be omni-knowledgeable on such things. *elbows Xev*:bugeye: I never noticed!! All the stupidity I noticed was from whatmuscles, and at least he doesn't resort to sexual references. __________________________________________ There is no god, afterlife or divine love.

Okay I wasn't going to mention this but I think that this is another problem. Should members be able to create threads about other members? I know people have problems with other people but is this really acceptable? http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13481 http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13496 http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=13001
Counsler, this guy is quite a menace. Sure he gives us something to do, but whats the point in continuing a fight that is more or less won and the other "side" is too arrogant to see it. Anyway, I'm not bothering with him anymore, he seems to be ignoring me
Back to the original topic My 2 cents, Sorry CC, I know you've moved on to another question but I've only dropped in to see if the subject matter in free thoughts has improved, and found that I'm not the only one with this view. Xev is the only one who mentioned the word "Porn" which is what most of the stuff relating to sex is heading towards. Sex can be discussed in a mature fashion, it's the gutter language I'm not interested in reading. I agree with Banshee too, I think it's originating from the younger members who can't control their hormones. The decision will ultimately be Dave's and I don't envy him this job because no matter what he decides, not everyone will be happy. My own view is that I was happy when I first joined the forums and the topics were intelligent and informative. I don't think the people here think of themselves as superior, just people who've outgrown the urge to discuss sex all day like when they were teenagers. I'm happy to see we've had few more members join of mature age lately. Thanks CC for raising the topic. Cheers Teri
If you start controlling what kind of threads can be posted (about other members or otherwise) doesnt it sort of restrict what can be dicussed? If a member is causing havoc like whatsupyall and the poll thread u listed above, it lets the member know what others think of their conduct. Hell even mods create threads about other members like the 'Joeman tantrum thread' created by Goofyfish (i believe) that was a sticky in politics thats since been deleted.
Should we be allowed? That is decided by, at least in religion, Oxygen who will delete or lock posts that are inappropriate. And is it pure coincidence that the person is question is whatsmuscles for all three? __________________________________________ There is no god, afterlife or divine love.

Actually Zero I found 4 threads about him. One of which I didnt link. Yeah see the problem is that it cant be discussed in a mature fashion. Someone will always start a thread about a big penis or something else... Its just not possible. And if it is a mature thread then chances are its going to break down into talk about a penis or something and people will be making jokes, not discussing serious issues. I just dont see a point to it.
Actually CC, I was refering to sex issues rather than the sex act itself when I wrote that it could be discussed in a mature fashion. However, I believe that your view about it degenerating into porn or gutter talk, is most likely right. It really depends on the people doing the discussing, and when there's so many different viewpoints things are bound to go downhill. It's just human nature. As for threads about any particular person, I really see that as a job for the moderator to pursue. We do have free speech, but there are people are just plain mean. There's no need for it. If someone is a problem to the rest of the forums then Dave has the right to disallow access. Cheers Teri
