Grindr is a casual sex app

This!!
I don't really get why people on here are making such a big deal about this new rule, i'm sure atrl members can live without using **** gifs or too explicit avatars on ATRL

It's too bad you're not in identity swap still. I'd like to hear you as Jeremy replying to this

hardly. It's subjective IMO. what may not be overtly sexual to me could be to the mods. This is why the vagueness part of what I've been saying comes in at.

I've made like two of my best friends through grindr.

Really? I can't use date as a casual way to describe people who want to meet people for sex and/or more because there are people who date purely for sex? Oh my bad

I know, but it's not focused on talking about having sex as much as DT is. There is a different purpose and I don't get why it's so hard to see.

We will just give out reminders, as already stated by so many.

Its like some of you think the concept of free speech applies to a private internet forum.

We were getting warned if we "express" our opinions too harshly already. I don't see why is the fuss.

2012: The year that ATRL actually stanned for democracy.

I never said to restrict anyone. We should be able to express our selves without being restricted for little things that don't cause any harm or trouble. And the whole this is only a music forum is a lie when you have the Lounge and those other non music related threads and sections. All i'm saying is that it's not our responsibility to baby sit underage members, and that this site shouldn't become a strict environment. The rules we had before were good enough.

It's not overtly sexual! and it's a rooster!

This is what happens when government and business classes aren't offered and required enough in high school. I blame the public school system

Then sir, you need to shut down SYG, NHB, half the threads in The Lounge, and several threads in the Video section. No reason to nitpick.

Not in the slightest. The old saying goes, if you want to play with the big boys, expect to get treated like one. Now personally, I don't think anybody under 15 should be on internet forums, but that's just me. Especially on this one. With threads like Dirty Talk and the kind of language and discussion used here, it's just not appropriate for a child. But if a younger user decides to register and get involved, they need to be aware of what they're getting into (which their parents should be monitoring anyways). This is not the Neopets boards.

But with as easily accessible and convenient it is to get on the internet these days, kids are going to find a way to sneak in and get involved in things they shouldn't be doing anyways, unfortunately.

I weep for the upcoming generation. My case is closed.

Right? Some of ya'll need to stop acting like you have "rights" on ATRL. The administration could ban half the forum for bad grammar if they wanted to. Your house, your rules. I'm not saying that we're all going to agree with them, but its not up to us.
