Mature discussions forum section

  Why make it that complicated, Curil? Just make it so people with a birthday date older than 16 can see the forum. Giving each person hand picked access is eh, dumb, what's the point of the section then if only 10 people can see it and post in it?
  
  If you're uptight about that then just make a "Life & Relationship" forum wherein people can ask about problems like Hanna's without getting their thread locked instead of a real adult section.

  
  
  Whats the point of making an age restricted section if anyone who wants to can create a new account with a proper age?
  
  Also, I have a feeling Fal would never go for this.

  You're amazing.
  
  If we had a mature forum, we could talk about all the amazing things we would do to each other.

  
  
  Sorry, I don't swing that way :v
  
  Anyway, here's my take :
  
  Most of us are mature here, and most of us know about mature content and whatnot. That doesn't mean we really need a separate forum to discuss mature content. I'm pretty sure most, if not all of us, are fine with keeping such discussions private, or going to another place that actually allows it.
  
  Anyway, I'm not against the idea, but the staff and other members would probably sh*tstorm over it. So it's not going to happen.

  You have TERRIBLE logic. That's the same as saying mabination needs an adult section so people can discuss adult things without having to do so at a different forum.
  
  @whyrainfalls: You say if we allow 16+ inside we are saying it's okay to have underage sex? Lol? You do realise that 16 year olds are at the legal age to have sex in nearly all countries?

  
  
  You didn't make the list. Trolling is trolling. :)

  Most of us? You mean the 102/6,651 members? http://mabination.com/mabination-community/general-discussions/everything-else/3045-whats-your-irl-age-11.html
  
  Only 44 of them have the slightest clue of what "true maturity" is.

  This is my fault for making those threads anyway.
  So if the OP is banned may I have the honors of
  /requesting lock ?

  The threads you made are fine, as long as you don't go into detail. Note how I used "Flavoured Protection", that can mean tons of things. =)

  I'm talking about active members. Not only that, but 3/4s of those 6,651 members probably made accounts here and never use them. By mature I mean are old enough and already have an understanding of the topic. Common sense much?

  There are still about 2-3k ACTIVE users. "Active meaning 2 weeks since last login"

  Quote from Whyrainfalls;227568:

  Just because there are 16 year olds who have already had sex, doesn't mean that there are 16 year olds who should have already had sex. Allowing 16 year olds into a mature forum talking about sex is encouraging them to be involved in sex. If Mabination allows 16 year olds into a mature forum, it makes a statement that it thinks underage sex is okay.
  
  I'm not saying 16 year olds shouldn't be talking about sex. I'm saying Mabination shouldn't be where they do it.
  
  Like I already said, it's not up to me, and this is just my own opinion.
  
  

  
  
  It's not encouraging it, it's allowing an opportunity to dispel many of the facts about it to which many people are woefully ignorant. Not only that, but it is not underage-- 16 is the age of consent in Canada and, I believe, the states. By that logic, too, 12+ can have sex as well. There are just age limitations to avoid exploitation.
  
  Finally, "should have had sex" is not a valid argument in the least. The age of sexual activity is completely personal. It depends on whether the individual is ready or not, and if it's what they want to do. There is no "right age" to have sex.
  
  

  
  What do we call people who have little interest in topics other than sex? I call them perverts. There's a difference in someone who dabbles in the mature forum and someone who lives in the mature forum. Posting in sexually oriented topics is not bathing in sex, but posting solely in sexually oriented topics is swimming in it.

  
  
  It may be the only thread they feel like posting in here, but that doesn't mean it's the only thing they do on the internet.

  They don't have to? I'm just glad most of them know how to use the search function... otherwise they would. ;)

  And there you go forgetting the point of the discussion. Again.
  
  1) As stated previously in this thread, if the board was added and only visible for members 18+, then I'm sure it would be okay. It's the user's fault if they make an account above the age of 18 and aren't that actual age or can't handle the content.
  
  2) Forty-four members out of one hundred and two mature? What? Show me these statistics. A Poll does not capture the total amount. Not to mention that poll doesn't count all the active members. There are members that completely skip over threads like that and if by definition of active is logged in during the past two weeks, then they probably never even heard of such a thread, let alone decided to vote in it.
  
  3) I'm justifying the fact that Most of us are Mature. Mature as in we have a grasp of the subject. When I was in Middle School, my classmates were already talking about sex and masturbation, even other kids that were around my age back then on the internet.
  
  4) Your posts justifies the fact that if we are going to have such a board that the staff, rather you in this case, will sh*t themselves over it and how bad it can be to "minors".
  
  5) This does not mean I want the board. I couldn't care less whether it's added or not, it will just be another discussion board. I am simply countering your barking for every time you jump on me for every small thing.

  Pika, there's a difference between maturity (physical age), maturity (being able to understand mature topics, what you're talking about) and maturity (knowing when it's okay to talk about it, and how to talk about it, which is what the staff is talking about). As proven by the OP, he wanted a section where people can talk about more adult things, as long as it's kept mature, and the first thread he makes after this one, he's practically talking about how he got anal and how it hurt him in the process. If he said that he had anal sex, and would like tips on how to improve, keeping a mature tone and not "So I had anal and now my dick hurts", it would have been fine. But clearly, as the OP proved, we can't have this section because people won't be mature about it.
  
  And why are you defending this idea. It's not like you'll have access to it anyways.

  In other words it's because I clearly don't like Byte and love proving him wrong when I have a chance.

  Then don't bother Pika. You are seriously getting pretty close to getting banned, and no one wants to see you go, but if you continue to try and cause unnecessary drama, then we will have to do it, so stop.

  Honestly, how many people on this forum can offer good sexual advice anyway?
  
  I don't think many of us have that much experience.
  
  It'd be either a dead forum or a forum full of spam, like I said before. For any other appropriate topics, we have other forums already.
