Out of curiosity, do you think FL should have been banned back in the day when I had this discussion with her? Keeping in mind that I was 14 at the time.

I can't see an edit button on my post, and the new posts still probably does the same thing, which i think has usually been where it has been posted from in one of those unread posts or something, even though that's a rough guess of nothing.

The biggest benefit (to my eyes) is that clicking the "go to first unread post" should now work, but we'll see.

Just going to point out that Sitechat has at times had mature discussions about sex when minors either weren't present or not making themselves known. Which is partially negligent, but I think also an indicator that a speakeasy only chat is good ideas.

On that note, can't we just take it upon ourselves to make a SE chat room?
Don't @ me.

Or coincidentally left right as that discussion began, which happened enough that you could have noticed as well.

People use site chat? The popup box at the bottom of the screen? All I've ever seen in that box is "Online Users (0)". What have I been missing?

I don't have time to respond to this thread before work but let's just say I'm with chamber. Making soft-handed policy changes instead of nuking people is what allowed NS to go as far as he did.

This is probably the most eyerolling limitation that has been placed on this site. I don't particularly want to talk about sex all the time in sitechat (in fact I think I've had one "mature" conversation in there regarding the night I got invited to a kink thing? And I did kind of want sounding boards in real-time). I have other outlets for that conversation, and 80% of the time I'm talking about netrunner in sitechat.

BUT! What are you trying to achieve? what is your desired outcome? If you have someone who is sexualising children (not talking about sex with children, not educating or providing support, which are drastically different things) but SEXUALISING CHILDREN, the solution is not to change the rules about SITECHAT.

Whatever, this change has happened, and it's going to continue happening. it isn't really going to impact me at all, and my frustration isn't going to achieve shit. Let me just say that, Mods, if you've got a problem with sex and children, do something real and effectual about it.

Tied up
I don't know? It seems reasonably borderline to me, and although I haven't kept in touch with her, I would have considered her a friend at one point, so I'm not the most unbiased source.

Since nothings been done about this, I'll kick off about it here.

Do you have proof this has happened? If you do not, then you should not be bringing it up because it could lead, and has sort of led to, a witch hunt.

You misinterpreted what I was saying before, and still are. I don't know details, so no, I have no proof. But I also wasn't making the accusation that it did happen. It was one possible case that I was addressing. I addressed it because it was the only one that actually needs to be addressed. If that wasn't what happened, there is no issue.

I mean, you are making an accusation by virtue of bringing it up. You are implying that it has happened.

I've made my feelings clear to you, and the mod team. I'll shut up about it now.

Ok, I haven't said my thing here yet, so my pov here.

I think the actual case that pushed this change through isn't the sole reason. I feel it's a change that was coming. I can't be so bothered with people being immature, am bothered by creepiness, but otherwise some conversations are better held in relative privacy. Previously there was the awkward situation where a good, but sexually related, discussion was driving people out of sitechat. On the one hand, the discussion is good and the freedom to get to talk about that can be really nice, on the other hand you want everybody to feel the same freedom. Most you heard about it were silent complaints or jokes how they didn't want to be around then. You don't want people to shut up, because you know they enjoy the topic and there's good discussion for them to be had, on the other hand some people may not enjoy detailed descriptions of last night.

I think with the situation being clear now, we can make the lobby an accepting place, and have simple arguments why some discussions should be redirected to private chats.

I have spoken to hiplop and I misunderstood a few of those responses. I didn't mean to imply that he was a shitty mod, I meant to imply that the system doesn't have clear guidelines and that the mods haven't been given clear orders. I think I was wrong there. I'm going to leave it up as my crow to eat, but yeah, it looks like I inadvertently lost some stuff in translation there.

My love and respect to hiplop, sorry mate.

Could depend where you access it from? Site Chat works for me at home, but it doesn't when I'm at work.
