Something isn't adding up here. Again, if anything, we need to blame the people who can't handle sexual topics.

I would much rather see a thread title of "When did you lose your virginity" over something like "18 puppies die in fire" or "New mom stabs infant to death." I wouldn't click on any of those threads since none interest me, but I wouldn't be as scarred with the titles of the sex-related ones.
Again, not advocating sex threads. Just not seeing the choice of censorship against them.

That's why my thread was closed and I received to warning points and verbal abuse.
Apparently all sex topics belong in the dirty talk thread... even though focusing that much posting in one thread can cramp the server.

Protest. Everybody talk **** and say whatever the **** you want and report each other. If everyone gets banned. They will have no one to support this new server they just bought.

Exactly. If you can't handle the sexual topic of a thread, how about you just don't go in it? Martian's thread title about head was pretty straight forward, so people who clicked on the link knew what the thread was going to be about by the title. It certainly wasn't misleading. If you're so prude and bothered by it, then simply just don't go in the thread. Nobody's forcing you to.
I don't know why sexual topics are seen as such a problem here when sex is something that almost everybody experiences or desires, especially on ATRL.

I am NOT here for the Dirty Talk thread.
I went in there once and saw someone posting scat ****. NO MA'AM.

Not here for that. I don't want to see a bunch of murder

threads reading "Let's Discuss Getting Head."

Isn't a thread like "What position do you prefer" less extreme than "Gay man raped, stabbed and burned alive (VIDEO)", though? I get what you're saying, though.

I agree. Neither subject should be covering the first page of The Lounge, but I'd rather see something relating to sex than murder/violence. Do I post in some of the sex threads? Yes, but I don't post any of the threads. Anyway, there isn't any way of containing all of the sex discussion anyway since the majority of ATRL's members are horny 14-20 something year old males.

People can't handle threads like that, Martian. Jesus doesn't like those threads.

Violence is always preferred over sex.
There's some trouble with posting sex-related things on a typically PG-13 site.
Violence has no age.
That's just a society thing.

Are the mods hiding from this thread? Except for Celestial...

Down-talking the mods won't get you on their good side.

My thoughts EXACTLY. I can understand why people don't want threads like that on here, but if you have a serious problem with it, just don't click on it. It's like the people who rush into an artist's thread in Celebria or Music News just to say "who cares?" or something of the sort. Seeing a sexual thread title won't compromise your religion, morals, etc.

I'll never be on his good side or care to be on the side of someone who is clearly biased. He hasn't liked me every since I commented on his walking talking about how much I like his Kylie avatar and preferred her over Madonna.
So, no... I don't care.

I've always said we should have a sub forum for "News" where murder threads could be posted. That way we wouldn't need to see it on the Lounge where most people hang out for the fun threads. And the sex ones should be allowed within reason, and should have appropriate titles. Just my two cents.

I understand what you're saying, too. And in THAT scenario, it's less
extreme, but you KNOW that with the time, the sex threads will
become more... descriptive. But AT LEAST, however horrific
the story might be, AT LEAST it's current news and about
the world around us, rather than another "sex thread."

In any case, the mods are relatively fair. Members just have to learn
how to bypass the system as they get accustomed to the site.

Everybody knows there are certain things that can't be said in NHB, Vin. STD jokes are one of them. I sorry it happened, but those are the rules.

Neither type of thread should be left open.
