That doesn't mean nobody does.

But why that has to concern the rest of us? No one is forcing them to do it, they are aware of the consequences.

Thats kinda YOUR fault you were in Blogs at WORK and let alone in sections where stuff with warning tags is normally being posted.

But it happens because it's on my work phone... So it's not as strictly regulated but it can still affect me

You people paying for ATRL plus are crazy.

I would never pay a dime to a forum that is doing everything but giving the users what they want.

Have users even gotten anything special before.

& + features are the EPITOME of basic…

I can only say that I am deeply saddened by the decision of the ATRL Moderation Team. I'd like to move to UKMIX or PopJustice unless Swag his Blog dragging Gags and the Mansters is re-opened immediately.

From this, I'm drawing a consensus that this was a "democratic" based decision as the majority of mods wanted to see these rules implemented.

As I mentioned in the OP, we want to maintain a welcoming environment for all of our viewers, whether they're at home, school, work or any public setting. Much of the material in avatars, thread posts and blogs made it difficult for public browsing and tainted the bigger focus of what we're trying to provide as a pop forum.

It's often the case that a loud minority sounds like the vast majority before the dust settles. That said, this isn't a numbers game for us. We made a decision to get rid of the explicit content, and we'll stand by it regardless of the impact on traffic/hits. If anyone finds that these changes break their experience and enjoyment here, they should definitely move to a forum that provides what we're now prohibiting.

What does the fixation on explicit content concern the members who want to enjoy ATRL for what it is mean for - pop music? What about the people who hear about the "mess" reputation of our site and decide not to join? What about younger members with parents who happen upon Blogs and decide their child should never visit again? Why do these people and more need to pay for someone being a little too horny or shady?

The admins getting dragged tho I live for this the fall of ATRL

Mods, the username "Devil" is implying a satanic nature, and I for one find it ohffensive, and do not enjoy seeing it while I am in my school library. Ban it.

Umm... honestly kids should NOT be on this site anyways. The music is not "appropriate" for younger members anyways and if parents don't want them in the Blogs then they shouldn't let them listen to the music anyways.

Plus the blogs aren't SUPPOSED to be for pop music. That's why we have the other parts of the forum. If you want it to be JUST pop music then get rid of Celebria, The Lounge, and anything else that doesn't belong with pop music.

Pls ban Devil for bullying me.

The main consumers of pop music are age 14-17.

Pop music is the focus. It is not the limit, not by any means, but it is the focus - not the bodies of celebrities and **** stars.

You guys are dramatic. This isn't nearly as bad as (original) Random Thoughts, NHB, The Clique and SOTC being closed.
