Just browsing the threads there and noticed many along the lines of "Good clean jokes only" and the like. Now this is obviously because it is a family site and I respect that. But would it not be possible to have a section of the site for adults only? Not in a seedy way or anything (),
just so adult content like jokes, etc can be discussed. For instance links to funny Youtube videos that contain any kind of foul language are immediately removed. Boooo!
And I know, having read similar threads like the one suggesting the introduction of gambling on this site, that the retorts will go along the lines of: "Any kid could submit a fake age to access the adult content", etc etc. But it surely isn't this sites' job to monitor the activities of other peoples kids? By the same card, they could just as easily submit fake details to access porn if they felt like it. No? That is surely their guardians' responsibility to prevent.
So, is this possible?
Opinions?

Looks like this one is never getting off the ground so.
They can make poncey arguments about not needing to swear to have a decent conversation, but it's not just the swearing is it. Take the example of Youtube links like i said above. And it's unfair on the adults that go on here to have to stick to topics that are suitable for kids all the time. FREEDOM!

Theres plenty of arguments for but it doesnt look like happening mate, would be ace if it did.

I guess after another 50 poeple make this exact same thread, it would be possibly considered.....until then I highly doubt it

I can see the reasons why not though, if you split the site into a family friendly one and an adult site there will be less people on each site.
Thus less games to play, less income for each site but more money to spend on servers and so on.

When I win the lottery and buy the site, it will be the second addition though.......after doubles

There is nothing to stop you making a private game and sharing funny youtube links etc.

Remember everyone who signs up agree's to the sites terms of service before doing so - so if you don't agree, don't sign up

There are literally thousands of uncensored forums out there to discuss anything you want. Feel free to use them if you need to dicuss something outwith that which is permitted here.

Remember, there are probably more adults glad to have a site to relax and enjoy without having kids swearing and throwing insults than the other way round!

Ok just an idea, didn't realise it had already been rejected on a previous occasion, and probably a number of times before that. Thanks for the feedback, may aswell cap this then if it aint going to be given any consideration.

Not at all, someone might have something to add in 5 months time if nobody's interested just now. Everything is considered, there's no such thing as a bad idea

true, and anyone can say they are over 18....

yes, it is then at their own risk if they are 12 and they can access it, but still - any 12 year old could say that they are 18.

If you read my original post fully I dealt with this point already to avoid it being brought up again. And it isn't really a valid one in my opinion, for reasons also stated above.
