Regarding XXX language .... I've noticed how WrongPlanet is not as tightly moderated as it used to be.

Yes I know people are calling other people a**holes. Every time I read some one putting some else down. I want to delete it.

Please feel free to report any excessive swearing.

I tend to let the odd expletive go by. People have "off" days. It's only when someone starts to think they can flout the rules repeatedly that I take any action.

(Plus, if I don't happen to run into someone particularly often, I may not notice.)

Tell a moderator... There probably aren't enough moderators to read every post, so they need your help. If nothing else, you can pm me and I'll do something about it.

I TRULY feel that the XXX talk on this site should be removed. Healthy sex talk is alright like the way Dr. Ruth conducts sex talk but the stuff on this site is VERY offensive and will surely drive away many people who would like to register or stay registered. ANYBODY can register so this site is a potential hazard for the young and/or the young in mind and heart. It's just as bad as porn...disgusting. :x



If its outside of the adults only forum, then the mods should remove it and put it back where it belongs. But if you are talking about what is being said in the adult forum then my advice is simply to NOT read or post there! It offends me that you think that you can to dictate what other people say based on your sensibilities; EVEN IF others dont happen to feel the same way! :evil:

Easy to say if you are not the one who's offended.

How do you become offended by something you do not read?

Unless you are advocating for the "thought police", that is.

You are under arrest for the future crime of saying a swear word. There is no minority report. You will be guilty.

Some people are offended by what they do not read simply because they know it's out there, mocking their sensibilities.

It's arousing when people get offended with adult topics, kinda like finding taboo things arousing for the fact of being taboo.

So we should throw out all previous moral codes, and institute a new one, where you decide whether something should be allowed based on whether it offends you???

How about, and instead of that, items that deteriorate other people into objects be deleted?

I don't know, there's more to it than that, but I think your comment of "So we should throw out all previous moral codes, and institute a new one, where you decide whether something should be allowed based on whether it offends you???" was rather unbecoming of an authority, but then again, this is the 21st century...

Finding XXX talk on an adult forum is offensive?

a) The adult forum is only visible for adults.
b) All posts in the adult forum are only visible for adults in the "new posts" page.
c) For more serious issues go to "in depth adult life".
d) NOBODY has the right not to be offended, and by nobody, I mean nobody.

Though to be serious about it, Sex is a serious issue. A lot of Aspies and users of this forum do really need a place to show their sexuality, can't think of a better place than the adult forum.
