Let's save a whole load of the bitching - why not have an NSFW (Not Safe For Work) board?
Those of you who want to post certain images can, and those of us who could get in trouble for looking at them (those at work, those viewing on a parent's computer etc) take responsibility for not going on that board.
Just make a few guidelines clear:
- You take responsibility for going on the board. You know what to expect, so it's your own damn fault
- Things that could get the forum shut down under Proboards' TOS (e.g. hardcore porn) will still be archived
- If you're not sure if it's suitable for the general board, post it there to be on the safe side
I think it's fair, surely? Borderline achivable stuff that still has an arguable case for being posted (amusement value, for instance) can be tucked out the way of anyone who doesn't want to see it, enabling OG or Chopper (for instance) to put their previously censored but non-pornographic pictures there.
Any thoughts?

Yeah, I mean its one possible solution to the problem anyway. It wouldn't clutter up the general board so much and people who like to post such threads could do so and its up to others if they want to go on and do likewise otherwise it won't interfear with them staying on the general board and talking. It could be password accessable also if we really wanted to make it secure from young prying eyes if they were underage guests or something.
I have to admit though Neko, I don't really think its wise to support the idea that posting porn in particular is acceptable here even if its on a NSFW board because I think its not full stop. I know you put more emphasis on the close to the line stuff that isn't quite porn etc but chances are, people might feel now there is a board open to it, that makes it ok. I suppose we could just monitor it though and if some things are OTT, we'll knock 'em out even if there is moaning forthcoming.
(Just on the whole moaning topic of people voicing concerns and minor gripes at the forum in general, surely its what you make of it that counts. If you moan constantly and say this is crap or this is wrong or why is this happening its shit, then its hardly going to be good is it? If no arguments are created, chances are hardly any will materialise)

I like the idea Neko but we'd have to have rules in there, because PORN is not allowed BUt people could get away with a lot more in there! It could be password protected as well!  |

Like I said, make the guidelines clear, and quote the ToS if need be. Pin the guidelines at the top, and people can't really complain after that, can they? If it's porn, it's off. If it's outrageous but not in violation of rules, it can stay. Not sure the password thing's necessary; as I said, it's self-moderating. Just make sure that's very clearly noted! I have to admit though Neko, I don't really think its wise to support the idea that posting porn in particular is acceptable here even if its on a NSFW board because I think its not full stop. I know you put more emphasis on the close to the line stuff that isn't quite porn etc but chances are, people might feel now there is a board open to it, that makes it ok. I suppose we could just monitor it though and if some things are OTT, we'll knock 'em out even if there is moaning forthcoming. As I said, make sure it's clear in advance what is and isn't allowed - if something has to be archived, make it a policy to leave an explanation as to why, and then people can (hopefully) learn not to do it again. Not a perfect answer, I know, but I thought it was worth putting forward |

My personal opinion is there shouldn't be nor is there a need for a 'porn board' on this site however it might be regulated or however 'soft' it is. Its a football board, a place to have a laugh, a messageboard, a chat room whatever. People from all walks of life use it, and if people want to look at soft porn or more hardcore stuff there are an abundance of places they can find it quite readily without looking here. And if they feel the need to share it, then use a PM!

And if they feel the need to share it, then use a PM! As I said, it's not for porn, if ony because that's against the TOS - but I know there've been quite a few pics gone up in general news (much the same as a snillion others as far as relevance to football is concerned) that were genuinely funny and such, but had to be removed 'cause the content was a bit iffy - not necessarily porn, but perhaps just a little disturbing. Ergo, an NSFW board would provide a haven for that kinda pic. Let's face it, we already have boards for computer games, books, food, politics etc - any argument you wanna make for them being valid as football-related can probably be extended to an NSFW board too! |

6:38 is actually, literally, closer to my bed time than my up time. Fooking midnight finishes. (if I'm lucky.)

Its not a bad idea Neko, but i agree with Geo, if we open a board for more extreme pics, porn or no porn, its just asking for trouble to be honest, 'disturbing pics' should be left on people hardrives for there own personal pleasures. |

Gotta agree with my fellow mods on here. Why do we need any sort of porn board on here? If you need it, it's a Google search away.....simple as that!!
If anyone feels the need to share it, then that's what (at a push!) the PM facility and email is for.

Again, I'm not advocating porn on it, and you can make it clear in advance what wouldn't be accepted.
Points taken though; I tried! ;D

Let's get something straight.
Me and OG do not want a porn board and never have. It is all light hearted fun and sometimes pushing bounderies fun. That is what we are like. And it isn't just confined to us either.
There is no need for a porn board and the rude fun has now come to an end,puns intended.

Personally none of the pics put up have been degrading to women or infact offensive, but the line has been drawn so we can no longer post material of this nature!
However the thread with women being beaten is acceptable and has not been removed, now it's not my style to complain - I'll just tell the poster what I think.
Maybe we have gay MODS ;D

Good point well put Hurls. Maybe if OG and my good self posted pics of naked ladies bruised and battered we would get away with it.

I have a good look at them pics in the archive Are you trying to be funny, or simply want every adult on this board to understand that you’re an immature little boy with a bit of power? Once again you pass a needless comment, thought you would have learnt after the Stan incident! Obviously you’re not someone of intelligence, otherwise you would learn by your mistakes! |

Was there any need for that outburst HURLOCK? I thought it was just a joke, even if it wasn't very good POG.  |

That maybe so but I reckon people on here are being pretty unreasonable to POG. I'm pretty sure that 99% of members on here would not get that response if they made a petulant or inappropriate joke. He had one night where he archived a lot of threads, something other mods have backed him over and people love the opportunity to lay into him. And did I see these people running for election?? The way people love the opportunity to winge at him doesn't really help issues, and it's ridiculous that the usual offenders are meant to be older, wiser and more mature.
