over 18s was created by gos

I was just thinking, I was in two minds whether to post the wii gag due to the nature of the content ie adult. I figured it was in the T bar which is members only so it would be ok but it felt like a bit of a gamble.

so I was thinking there could be potential problems with things like adult, racist, sexists ageist etc etc........

maybe you could clarify it Kara (not sure if anyone under 18 would be on here anyway) Ie where can we post such stuff (T bar or dedicated over 18) my sense of humour can be quite near the knuckle sometimes but I do tone it down for public places (internet forums) am I just talking rubbish or should there be some parameters set out before it can get out of hand and upsets one of our members and or the tinternet police :shake:

this forum is a really fun place to be so I would hate to see it tainted by someone making a faux pas.

Excellent question Gos!

Here's a section of the forum rules you may find useful:

This board is intended for adult car enthusiasts but the profanity filter is on. Please keep the discussion at a family friendly level, this goes for Off-Topic as well. If you try to circumvent the language filter your post will be deleted or edited. Ignoring this rule will lead to banning.

Basically I'm all for a bit of naughty humour as I believe all of us are over 18. As a guidline I would say keep anything slightly controversial humour wise confined to the T-Bar as it is the only area that cannot be viewed by guests who could be any age. In terms of the rest of the forum keep it at the level of a 12A movie, i.e.

Discrimination
Discriminatory language or behaviour must not be
endorsed by the work as a whole. Aggressive
discriminatory language or behaviour is unlikely
to be acceptable unless clearly condemned.

Language
Moderate language is allowed. The use of strong
language (for example, ‘bastard’) must be infrequent.

Sex
Sexual activity may be briefly and discreetly portrayed.
Sex references should not go beyond what is suitable for
young teenagers. Frequent crude references are unlikely
to be acceptable.

Theme
Mature themes are acceptable, but their treatment must
be suitable for young teenagers.

Violence
Moderate violence is allowed but should not dwell on
detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood,
but occasional gory moments may be permitted if
justified by the context.
Sexual violence may only be implied or briefly and
discreetly indicated, and must have a strong contextual
justification.


Hope that clears the matter up for you but let me know if you have any more questions. :)

Lol I wouldn't have read them either unless I had to write them! :lol:

But putting my forum owner hat on for a second if someone doesn't read the rules but breaks them then ignorance is not an excuse! :lecture:

Hat off... back to eating chocolate... :drool5:
