[Mr Skrunts]

Probably my fault then, please do offer my appologies to him.

I offered to stop posting but got told off by too many members.

Who knows, don't need to be a member to view threads "topic"

Some things i've / going to post may offend vistors. hope not
not my intention ?
Ps: not prawn

Have I missed something?

Yes, I gave  a guy who got out from a Omega a card about the site along with my mobile no, tech info threads etc thought were good,
did not like some of the material found on general chat

His choice not mine !

  That`s not good: `wonder how many others have visited and have felt similarly 'put-off'?

Hmm -- do we ( I used the term "we" loosley   ) get carried away sometimes ?

I guess it's easy to forget when we are having a bit of banter with those we "know", that there are others who do not yet have the measure of the site or some of it's members.  I admit there are one or two members who I find a bit offputting, even though I know that's just the way they are .... so a raw newbie might well run and hide!

Maybe we could have a section for those above senior only--- so should be well aware of the characters on the forum. Although I fear this would be devisive .........p'raps we should just behave ourselves

That's a little bit elitist if you ask me. which of course you didin't

As adults I would have hoped that if we find something offensive we would just move away from that board. If you see something on the telly that you find offensive do you continue watching it and then complain? or do you change channels or even turn off?
Everybody has their limit to what they will or won't put up with but they do have a choice.
The only real issue I see is that of children having access to the site. Just becasue the forum is about cars and that the majority of it's users are consenting adults doesn't mean that children will not be on here looking. Most of them will probably have found much worse than has ever been put on here.

So rather than have a section only for those aboce a certain status maybe there could be a "adult" themed section that has some form of age verification on it. you can then excersize you choice to opt in or not.

I personally don't think Skruntie has anything to apologise for. I don't find the material he has posted offensive or otherwise none of what I have seen shows anybody doing anything against their will, they all appear to be excersizing their choice to display all.

Censorship has it's place but among adults it should be self governing imho.


By the way did I mention Choice at all

Cheers for the support.  To be honest I am the cheeky chappie sort.  I like a laugh, I love the toungue in cheek banter and as most red blooded men its nice to see the odd female picture, but in my case of posting there's allways a twist to it.

Outright nudity or provocative poses that were posted I would if I was the sort of person to post (which I am not) expect an Admin warning or /and then be booted from the forum.

I for one would like a cheeky section, then anyone entering would do so on the understanding  of it's contents.  I am aware this has been mentioned before and its suggested that it need not be seperated.

But I feel the main chat section at least ought to be forum members only, then rather than read it, you have to join and read it.

Just a thought.  

[Mr Skrunts]

Just seen the bit above about being a senior.  Maybe worth considering.  May well get more people posting as well.

There are 100's of members that have joined and never even posted.

Pity a script couldnt be witten that once they post in the welcome section it opes them up to allow them access to other sections

Too much work involved I know. :-/

[TheBoy]

Nope, never. For exactly the reasons you said.

Easy to do, but won't happen.  The ethos of OOF is all areas are open to everyone (I know we have for sale limits, sadly).

Its a problem we have - I get a few msgs from new members wishing to leave as they find OOF a bit cliquey

[Mr Skrunts]

I think we need a section.

[size=14]TheBoys Bath Tub Club[/size]

Only posts of well endowed ladies to be posted.

Hmmm --- pity that.  They have to accept that people who have been here since the early days will know each other. Best way is just jump in and join in .... worked for me !! Well ....so far

I can fully understand why people think that, and why it may be daunting to try to join in with an established group....

[Mr Skrunts]

Worked for me, struggled making the 1st post in the welcome section.

Now there's talk of enticing me up to a meet to bind me and gag me and just leave me in a filed so I cant post anymore.
