PM the mod & ask why, you may well reach an agreement on a small adjustment or 2.

To keep as broad an appeal as possible you have to avoid controversy, my guess is it was censored because the title would be offensive to some people.

I also got a PM. For posting up an image in the Fail! section to do with a BMW recall.

Sorry for anyone offended, as it may have contained mild language.


No to an adult section though. Its a Mini Forum >_<

An "Adult" section has been discussed many times. If you search it you might actually find why all the staff have said NO.

TMF is a family forum, we have a vast range in ages, and to be able to post on here you must fall in line with the TMF guidelines which can always be found at the top of the page, under the TMF banner.
If you read them, you will see why your topic was closed and removed. The images, some could be classed as "soft porn", They also contained swearing.

If tmf had an adult section how would we go about validating peoples Date of Birth? Its quite easy to work out how many years you are from being 18. Unless the Mods/staff know the members and know how old they are then there is no way of doing this. You could suggest using credit card etc but then would you want to risk giving out credit ard details? And how hard is it to ask mummy for her creditcard?

There will be NO adult section.

If you have any problems please feel free to PM myself, one of the Admin of any other member of staff.

I think there is a sister site to TMF for things that are border line, but I can't remember the site name.

I'm sure if you are/were a parent, you would appreciate the Mod's action, I know I would with some of the things that occasionally pop up on here :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Just chalk it up as a life lesson mate, not a personal attack against you :-

P.s feel free to pm me a link to it >_<

If there was a adult section.
People could just change there DOB to make them 18, or anything so its impossible to get around.

No to a adult section, reasons in previous topics on the same subject. Having reviewed the pictures you posted, every one contained a swear word so were rightly removed.

Is it really such a chore not to swear?? >_<
