Adult forum

For the past little while now there's been a behind the scenes discussion about the posibility of an adults only forum. The idea we pretty much came up with was we would have an "Adult Discussion" forum which would pretty much mean you can talk about the nastiest shit you want, 18+ kinda stuff. Then there would be another subforum for pretty much having porn/models/etc. That forum might end up being split into separate sections if it gets enough activity and the activity is diverse(Swimsuit Models/Softcore/Hardcore/Hentai/Gay/Furry/whatever.)

The forum would be a private one, probably requiring moderator approval for you to enter, or some other sort of system. The fine details haven't really been discussed yet.

Be aware, if you're not 18+ or close to being 18, your vote and opinion won't really matter much, since you won't have anything to do with the new forum.

Please give some feedback in this thread, suggestions, opinions, anything is fine.

Like I said before, we have one of these Adult boards on peta-sucks.com. It's a really fun place and we typically have some good stuff posted from all around.

So I say we should do it. It'll be a totally kick-ass idea.

I'm for it. Might actually keep me around that way.

I think it would be a good idea. Might make it interesting. Certain... 'odd' forums should be private even to the 18+ though (Example: furry + hentai) as these are odd interests and are prone to much mockery ~_~. One person should be in charge of giving memebers approval to see such forums. (Kagom can have furry)

I don't really forsee furries coming to Zel.

Not necessary, if people go in there and ridicule others for what they're doing, they'll most likely get kicked out of the 18+ forum. As that forum will have less moderation than the others, I would think/hope that rules would be enforced very harshly.

Would sup mods then be given the ability to ban from individal forums if a problem pops up, or would we just temp ban them until an admin can come ona and change their viewing ability?

I don't know details such as this. There is currently no system set up, and no idea how it will be set up. Don't worry about minors getting in, that will be dealt with. I just want to know what you guys think about the idea.

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

However, what of those users who lie about there age? Should there be a certain amount of time you've been a member in order to post in there?

That's why I agree with Sov on the whole member needs approval.

Members will need approval to get into the overall adult forum. Sov was saying members should need approval to get into certain "fetish" subforums for the main forum, which is uneccessary.

Filter out the idiots?

I suggested that only members and Senior members should be allowed in. If a person lies about their age, they would be responsible for it. Most likely there will be a disclaimer just like on porn sites.

If people lie about their age, INSTA ban. Providing porn to minors is illegal. Zero tolerance imo.

You don't feel that this would divide the forum? The forum has seen a bit more activity, but this kind of thing has the potential to seperate the forum into 'haves' and 'have-nots', if the adult memberbase no longer actively participates in the older Zel sections, especially if more adults come to the site.

If it does happen, is there a possibility of a setting or linking accounts so that I can not have the Adult section show/load if I'm browsing from work? I'd like to keep my job and keep Zel from being blocked.

Since WW has the same concerns about it being NSFW, we would have to come up with some privacy system if this happens.

That's good to hear.

What about if you name the forum something that isn't easily recognisable as an adult forum, and when the forum header is clicked only then does it show the posts - when you view it on the main page it will look like the Talk to the Staff forum does to non-staff... if that's possible?

Or have no forum header at all, but a link in Quick Links?

We should call it Teatime Funtime.
