I don't really like the whole "no discussions in the pics thread" rule. Oh sure, I weild the sexy powers and could tell everyone to comment all they like, but that's not how we do it round these here parts. I'd like to get opinions from users and my fellow mods about possibly changing this rule to "no comments that could make a person feel uneasy". Now I know this is fairly loose, but we're not trying to rewrite the constitution here
but I think the mods could be trusted to interpret this in a way that would allow for discussion, but still let people feel comfortable posting pics of themselves (no pervin' basically )
If you're still awake, feel free to amend the thread as needs be.
If you're asleep, then I'll fix it to suit the new arrangement in a few hours time.0 -
I just wanted to offer some general feedback about this forum, and just say what I think about it.
I've been wanting to do this now for a while, but I just never got aorund to it.
For the last few weeks I've been thinking about C+H and the topics that are discussed and the threads that we have (I started thinking about this before we got so busy). The thing that I was mainly thinking about was that the topics being discussed could be thrown into any other forum, that C+H isn't exactly special, though we do have the yaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh and arrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh threads, also the Soundtrack to your Angst.
Basically, I thought that C+H was just a bit silly and didn't have much point to it.
As well as that, some ideas were "borrowed" from other forums, so I didn't think we'd be able to evolve and start our own topics.
BUT!
That's not the point of this forum. The point is that it's a place for the younger members of boards to come and talk and to discuss various things with people their own age. It took me a while to realise that, so I started to dislike the place sometimes.
The Nocturnal forum serves a similar purpose, only it's for people who are awake really late, then there's BGRH, tLL and a few others around the place.
I really like that there's no particular topic that has to be discussed. We don't even discuss things that are necessarily related to teeens, it has fairly general discussions, which is lovely. Then of course there are tpics related to us young'uns.
So yeah, that's it.
Thanks to the mods, who do a good job. Also, I think it's necessary to thank the guys who campaigned for this forum in the beginning, such as Insect and JKC, and of course to the admin who approved C+H.
And to the other posters here, you guys are lovely!
I'll end it here before I start to sound even more gay and sappy

Well I don't want to be all barging in and saying "rule's changed!" maybe leave the suggestion up for a day or two and we can see what people think instead of me forcing my opinion onto everyone >_>0 -

I think it should be a "No Picture, No Post" thing. At that, no harsh criticism of pictures or anything.
same here.
Because I remember some randomer (thats just one of those new posters that write something and never log back in type) and they commented on a C&Her's picture with something that was quite rude before it got deleted. And even if a mod does change it, the poster of the pic might still see it and be hurt like.
But then again, thats just my opinion. We are talking about the no picture, no post thing in the know your *description thingy* thread, right?
edit: scratch that, bythewoods' idea is better now :P0 -
Yeah but I'd hope that when a person puts up a picture, they know it's only a matter of time before some troll comes into the forum and someone could post a rude comment and the pic poster could see it before it's deleted. Just remember that when you post up a pic.soccymonster wrote: »same here.

Ya, I saw that post! Didn't really care though. Anyone who has to put someone else down to feel good about themselves is a douche, plain and simple.soccymonster wrote: »same here.

As amazing and all as we mods are, that sort of stuff will happen whether we have a "no posts without a picture" rule or not. There will always be trolls saying nasty things, and while we're usually ninja enough to delete the posts, sometimes it's up long enough for users to see them. Just something to be aware of when you're posting pics!0 -

Before anyone says it, yeah, I know him in real life, and no I am not agreeing with him for this reason. In fact I was mulling over how I would say this for a week or two now, but seeing as sycosised has gone first, I'll say it now.
I agree to an extent with what sycosised has said, and on the other hand I have another problem as well. Firstly, I think the discussion of alcohol is a bit inappropriate here, with such a young user base, and even though, yes it is the young adult forum, it isn't JUST the young adult forum and as such the older folk here need to be appropriate and yes, shockingly, a bit more mature.
Speaking of maturity, some posts in Insect Overlord's "Playpen" thread were just plain silly. And not in a funny way. I was going to report some of them but it was dealt with in the end and justly too, I feel. But unfortunately it doesn't end in there. In particular, some of the posters in "It's half 4..." go way overboard for a teen and young adult forum. I have held off reporting, but I shan't anymore.
I'm starting to sound like a conservative 40 year old here, but that's not who I am in the slightest. I am incredibly liberal in thinking, but there's a time and a place, and for some posts, I feel this forum is not the place.

Going to have to agree with the guys here (and I don't even know either of them in real life!
). As they say, it's a teenage forum first and foremost (god, saying that makes me feel so old 
), and it's meant to include everyone. Even for that reason alone, the aforementioned discussions are unfair/inappropriate. I don't see in any harm in discussing alcohol or anything else for that matter once it's not in an "OMG I was so hammered last night LOLZ" etc etc. As D4RK ONION said, we could maybe try to be a bit more mature about it? :P
I'll add to this when I have a proper think about it, but seeing the guys post here reminded me of it.0 -

Insect, I know it was dealt with, and it was dealt with well, especially as it was your own thread. I was only using that as an example, it was the culmination of a growing trend tbh. And I'm glad to know your eye will be watching because, I'll say this now everyone in the nicest way I can, I will not answer any stupidity. (silliness will be answered with great pleasure
