In one of the forums I moderate we have a topic called The 9 Hells.  This is a topic where ANYTHING can be talked about and nothing at all can be moderated (Except if there is spamming) There is a warning though saying that if you find things offensive then you should not read the threads.  If people get upset over the threads in 9 Hells then it is their own fault.

Sounds like Wayne found his woman too.

Sounds like it could get pretty brutal.
I am in unmoderated newsgroups and often it de-evolves into the nastiest sort of crud.  And yes, I have been a participant, and no, I'm not proud of it. 

I kind of like the lighter touch here...the ability to more or less say what you want but being able to pull back when one starts getting over the top.  So far everyone seems to be able to discipline themselves with only one or two exceptions.

Just suggesting it for those who feel the urge to go into graphic details about sex etc.

Why would they need to do that here?  Aren't there ample other places online to do that sort of thing?

We should be free to frankly discuss things that come up of course within our usual conversations, but to specifically (like Wayne's legs fetish) start or post explicit things I would think just wouldn't belong.

Still, it's not a bad idea to maybe have SOME corner where 'anything goes'.

Dear god, I'm done with suggestions.

Well, I am certainly not putting you or the suggestion down.  Hell, I have nothing to do with this stuff.  I was just making conversation about it.

Well obviously theres a mod that thinks they can lock and delete everything...so maybe a 9 hells folder would be a good place to stop that. 

Maybe.

It would be nice if someone else piped up in this little back and forth...I feel naked!

Don't you see we are running out of people to pipe up?

YES!

Everything was so great here (so I thought) even tho I'm only a babe here (nice to be just a babe SOMEwhere at my age!) I thought it was a great mix of personalities.  I really enjoyed being here.

More defections and I'll probably join them myself...what's the point otherwise?  You need a lot of voices to make a community, not just one or two.  Damn.  I'll really miss this place.

Well I'll pipe up and say that I don't ever want to be a mod because certain people hate me here, and they always seem to find some snide remark to say.

Well if your too scared too chicken to even post under your own name then you deserve to be hated.

I happen to think we DO still have a great little forum here! Am I the only one who thinks that?
