Right seeing as the beloved JK thread has gone due to a few memes with words in that most people have seen, heard and most properly said in there lives but are not allowed to be typed on here can we please have a 'Adult' section of the forum where admin have to invite you in to the area to be able to see or post in it. There are many people on here that I like to chat too that don't have Facebook and that live miles away and I don't see very often and I like being able to pop on here and have bait of banter and a laugh. This is meant to be a fun social thing after all. I can't see it being too much hassle to moderate either really as being an adult people should expect to see things they won't see on other parts on the forum. If anything I think it would help with mods having to keep clearing out the off topic section when explicit bits get posted in those areas. Plenty of other forums have areas like this. 

 

Come on mods!

I go another forum where there is such a thing..

You apply to join this section of the forum, then it was up to the admin peeps to say "yay or nay"

 

Simple to execute.. when you click on the ADULT link it shows a message of application...

Then its up to admin to let you in if they think your grown up enough.. once accepted you can visit whenever you want.

 

Put a warning up about really bad language.. some words would need to go through obviously... we all use them.

 

Do a 3 strikes rule.

 

 

 

But what do i know   ;D

We have discussed the idea of an adult section before, the answer at the time was no.

 

That's not saying it's a no right now, we're talking about it.

A thought....

 

Maybe if you contributed towards the forum for the additional bandwith and resources taken by all these random threads with no real purpose.....say £30 a year per member who wants to access these threads / adult section?

 

This is my opinion, sounds fair though....all those posts take bandwith and server resources which cost money. Alternatively, use facebook / chat room / etc?

You know full well nobody on any forum would stump 30 quid no matter what was on offer..

 

Porn sites are only 19.99 a year............. im told   :shifty:

 

There must be some sections TMF could lose through lack of use to make room.

 

Regional section.. Nurburgring section are just 2

Its not room as such its bandwith.

 

£30 a year is a fair subscription cost. I have paid this on other sites to access premium areas or technical content for example.

 

Afterall, the content is not relevant to TMF, so doesnt help improve hits/visits to the site. It also wouldnt be indexed by search engines as it would be a private section.

 

TMF+ users post content which is viewed by others, indexed on search engines fetching new users and visitors etc.
