Oh well. Its all in the Down The Pub section and i think most under 16s are banned from the pub after 9. However i am 16. If an over 18 section did emerge i would certainly just create a new profile saying i was 18. I think the oldies are to worried. At school i hear and see a lot worse

That's your choice but the fRA won't be liable for you doing, that which they could be know allowing you access to some of the material.

Agree with Fell junior this is a nanny state issue essentially and is about keeping the forum functioning as well as a values issue. We can whinge all we like but there is guidance etc out there which in the case of children and young people we are better adhering to than not if you want to keep free and open speech on the forum - and yes I know that is a total contradiction.

To be honest i dont think it is a problem.
However if they did start vetting forum members due to age they would have to take other situations and circumstances into account and ban them from the forum. Its a lot of work for the mods but feel free

Its not about whether we perceive it being a problem or not Tom, its being clear what as national organisation the FRA is seen as liable and responsible for in safeguarding its membership.

That's the whole point isn't it. That HP was making, and no one was prepared to consider.

I understand that everyone JUMPED to slam HP because they know Merrylegs (either in real life or because they have talked to him for so long on here). They know that he is a great guy who isn't homophobic, wouldn't knowingly upset someone and is often the peace maker on the forum. I agree with all these opinions.

But Henry P might not have been reading the forum so long and not have such insight.

He rationally said that comments about gay men and tons of vaseline and not stooping down around certain men in showers are very old hat
.................and to an objective gay man reading the forum (young or not) could be taken as insulting and excluding.

I think the reactions of everyone else who contributed (towards HP) were even more excluding.

If you read my first post on this, you will see you finally agree with me, it took a while but welcome onboard (Will that do Brett?)

Yes but i dont think it would be fair to alienate juniors without looking deeply into every single member of the forum.

I think some of the oldies have forgotten what it was like to be 15/16.

I used to hear a lot more filth then that I do now - 15/16 year olds are probably the least naive demographic in a wide range of areas.

I don't think there's been anything too bad on this forum anyway; we certainly don't need Mary Whitehouse (RIP) to come and sort things out.

Cheers. FHM arrived through my letter box on Saturday and that was a good moment and much more extreme than a few sexy pics of Holly Willoughby. Maybe we should just delete this thread, have a cup of tea and chillax
