I don't understand the point of getting rid of Dirty Talk or banning certain avis.
There is an option to disable them.

Yeah, but this is a forum. Well, anyways I actually don't like the censoring even If I'm underage

Nope, it's the parents. It's their job to protect their children, not us nor Atrl mods. Those kids should know hey I don't belong in this thread let me leave.

What if they told you "Peep Show" was an inappropriate username though?

Then they would let me change it

And what if they didn't, and just banned you? They do have that power.

ATRL is most certainly not an appropriate place for all ages, and not because of the dirty stuff. Neither should be allowed.

It's not about censorship, it's about ATRL's image as Kworb said.

Making it a closed forum, or having age restrictions wouldn't really help anything, kids could still lie to get on here.

freedom of speech

There is nothing more annoying or retarded on this site than the notion this is some kind of oppressive regime which must be fought by the brave revolutionaries in the user base.

"HAI GUYS LOOKIT, IMMA MAKE 17 THREADS ABOUT ANIMALS ****ING"
"wtf? *deletes threads* take your yiffing elsewhere"
"HOLD UP Y'ALL, HOW YOU GAWN SAY I CAN'T USE MY FREEDOMS OF SPEECH AND EXPRESSION!?!?!1 ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH!11"

You have no rights here, freedom of speech doesn't apply, despite whatever pissy, self-entitled preteens think.

What the hell is ATRL's image when we allow threads about videos in which pop singers have ball gags in their mouths and are simulating oral sex with a crucifix?

[Gui Blackout]

Don't get me wrong, but as far as I know "ATRL's image" is a pop forum with 99% of gay users.

[fineandbambi]

None of the music forums I have used in the past had a thread like dirty talk. The members did not use **** avatars either. I don't understand why you guys can't realize that the way ATRL used to be is not the norm.

Thank you.

I know it won't help, but it will at least get ATRL out of trouble if some crazy parents ever decides to take legal actions.

You act like ATRL is going to turn into a communist government

I'm 13, and I don't see this forum being that inappropiate or disturbing. I think older people are overreacting a bit and think we are shocked by anything we see in internet.

Does it mean they have to talk about sex every hour
Isn't it a bit stereotypical?
