Adult Forum
 
I’ve been thinking about maybe we should have a Graal adult forum. I’m not really sure how it would work out but you guys can point out the reasons why it wouldn’t be a good idea. I don’t know what would be wrong with one but what do you pinto beans think?

WanDaMan 02-09-2005 09:22 AM

Yeah! make a new forum to post pornography! :\


Whats your motive for making the thread?

Ziro_Vitrudestec 02-09-2005 09:47 AM

rofl@WanDaMan

I was thinking the same thing...
but I don't think he's talking about a pornographic-related forum.

Spark910 02-09-2005 12:09 PM

Impossible to prove the age of the people to give access to them.
There are millions of forums out there, if you are limited here but want to discuss saomething, do so on one of those that allow it.

Leasure-13 02-09-2005 02:46 PM

Yea Spark is right.. there is no way to know the ages of the people entering that forum. And if it checked there birthday.. I think that they are smart enough to go in and change it right?

Either way, we don't need children looking at bad stuff on the forums, nor do we need adults playing who are looking at the bad stuff on the forums.... It's just a plain NO.. You could start a private forum and host it on your server maybe. ;)

Polo 02-09-2005 03:22 PM

It just wouldn't work x_x

lol, just because it would be an adult forum, doesnt mean there would be bad stuff there, I dont think that's what the creator of the thread meant. x_x
Anyway, I agree with Spark

protagonist 02-09-2005 04:30 PM

It's often times impossible to tell if people are above the age of 13 as well.

Crono 02-09-2005 04:48 PM

Dude my filter rule and such is much better. If you're an immature 13 year old, then you turn on the swearing filter. If you're a 16 year old mature non-momma's boy goody goody then just turn it off and curse like theres no tommorow. NOTHING wrong with that, NOTHING. Just another effect of retarded morality, -_-

What about parents who pay for the game but don't want their children to see that stuff?

Skyld 02-09-2005 04:59 PM

I'm not sure I even see the point in having an "Graal adult forum"..?

Then they set it and the forum can have a password protection for parents who dont want their "children" to see naughty words.

Great, but they probably wouldn't find out about that protection until long after the account has been bought.

Why make an 'adult' forum if most of the players are children/adolescents? I like the idea anyway, a mature community would be nice, but hey, it is a game. :whatever:

There has to be a lot more maturity first in order for the collective to be mature. :frown:

protagonist 02-10-2005 11:42 PM

Let's just have a mature forum and put a complete tightass as the moderator to keep away the immature ones.

Problem:

Their is no set standard of maturity. It's in the eye of the beholder.

Adult forum doesnt necessarly mean Porn, more adult topics... But judging fromt he demographics of an Online Multiplayer game such as Graal it wouldnt be a good idea

matt8891 02-13-2005 04:42 AM

Well said, most of the people who register a graal account input their correct age the 'first' time but once their registry is denied, they then modify their registry so it seems as if there, Oh lets say 17-18?

Skyld 02-13-2005 06:17 PM

This thread so far is arguing about the possibilities of how it could work, but nobody has justified why an Adult Forum would be nice, or necessary.
Personally, I do not see the point. We have perfectly good GraalOnline forums here, and if you really need an Adult Forum, anyone with PHP and MySQL on their webhost can set up phpBB. Discussing it here isn't exactly any progression towards having an official one set up, by the looks of it.

Fogles 02-14-2005 02:43 PM

ok people, how many kids do u think are gonna lie about their age just to get in it...that wouldn't work out.

I would :cool:. No, I dont want an adult forum because the most here (?) aren't adults..

osrs 02-14-2005 07:58 PM

But an immature forum is also fun, if you guys have not seem the thread with a guy asking to be adopted by Stefan, go to Main forum check it, haha.

oinknessx 02-15-2005 10:04 AM

We could make a forum for people like Kai, where debates can be held on religion, vocabularies, politics, etc... That could be the mature forum.. Please don't give me access to it. :)

calani 02-25-2005 08:12 AM

I can see the merit in such a form, as I'd rather like to hang out in one such as that, where people aren't acting like idiots, but there's no way to moderate it to make sure that the said idiots wouldn't have access. True, a hardass moderator would discourage some, but it would also make it a horrendous pain for those that -did- belong there.

I would say that if there is a pretty mature sixteen year old, he wouldn't senselessly swear as such. Thus said, having a forum where swearing isn't censored, then it would more likely attract the nonmature audience for the simple fact.

The mature people, I'm positive, don't mind the swear filter because they have no use to use those words, unless, of course, they are seeking profane elements which are shunned upon by the game policies. That said, the utility of it wouldn't justify itself.

If you are seeking a more mature topic, then you could easily discard the immature people from your mind. AIM/IRC can easily be used to discuss about such materials.
