What I meant was that rules about swaering and insulting wouldn't matter but discussion of cracks and things like that would just like any other part of the board.

a couple of years ago, I asked the same...remember the "Adult forum" I asked for...well I think everyone thought i was asking for an "adult" porn forum...but no I was asking for exactly the same as JPaul is asking for now....I really meant an adult forum...for adults not for wankers... I believe it was [b][O][T] who suggested a password protected forum....Originally Posted by JPaul
Not to get personal, but I was recently told to temper my language and that others had been moderated for swearing. In such an area people could be free to flame, fight, swear. So long as it didn't compromise the board re porn, warez etc.
If others were clearly warned that it was allowed in that area then if they did not want to read that sort of thing, or take part in it, then they could just choose not to go in.

The lounge is already insulting and offensive enough. Have you forgotten that the leniency in the lounge already drives new members away? Let alone a forum where one could say anything he wants no matter how abusive, without fear of reprisal.
A warning about less moderation would sell such a place terribly short.

What sort of stats have you got for the lounge driving new members away.
I think you've some sort of hang-up about the lounge being offensive because you seem to mention it at every opportunity.
I think YOU find it offensive and are offended that other people don't.
Maybe your point would carry more, nay, some weight if the lounge wasn't the busiest part of the forum. Also if, by sheer weight of posts, the lounge didn't attract most of them here, via Google, in the first place.
In any case, you couldn't have missed the point more if you tried. Want me to explain why?

Get rid of the lounge altogether.
Go on, try it.
All you'll have left is noobs spamming their five first posts and stop posting for a month before coming back and start BT invites threads all over the place, pissing contests in Gameworld and maybe one or two posts a day in softwareworld and the drawing room.

..and you can make a small change in rule nine..."Except in the Smoker lounge"
and maybe only allow members with at least one years membership access...

My biggest concern is the level to which some people may stoop if an anything goes forum is set up. I know there will inevitably be some pretty shitty stuff posted, insulting, derogatory, or down right nasty and maybe even illegal. Why do people need to go to the next level on here? I suggest that those that want to spam their bile should either use msn or go to t'moderation or somewhere. Ultimately it is only going to be a few lounge regulars that would use it apart from the newb trollers....I don't see the point.
