I don't think the Lobby got even remotely close to a cesspool. For me it's a place to unwind after a day at work and I like to troll around with people I interact rather seriously otherwise, through mafia games. I like getting few beers in the evening and having some chitchat about everything and nothing and I like acting immature cause I feel comfortable among our little club and I need a place to unload stress after a whole day of being strict and official at work. Looking at average age on this site, I don't think anybody should get offended by this, and although I understand some people prefer mature discussions on important topics (these happen in the Lobby too), I think the chat format is best for quick talks without obligation. Rules deprive it of its (however questionable it may be) charm.

Well, it's a low hanging fruit. Sex jokes are to immature conversations what cheese is to pizza. It just doesn't taste the same without it and when you have to stop and think whether you should take another bite, the enjoyment of eating is disrupted.

But I am trying to understand the other side, so can anybody explain to me why people get offended by sex jokes so much? Even if they're not directed towards people in question.

Then the solution would be to make a PG chat and a +18 (or 21) chat.

If the majority feels that way, I'll adjust but I just wish there was another solution than restricting one group to satisfy the other. But that's democracy for ya.
