We've had a puritan RR for something like 2 years now. How's that working out? .

BS. You can do all the X-rated talk you want in the RR. I doubt dirty pictures will attract more viewers, but we'll have to hear from The People.

Retail, you talk about chancing on gay porn. That doesn't happen. Nor will it if expectations are set. There won't be an explosion of cocks in your face. At least not on the site anyway.

ya, Retail doth protest too much. It's always the uptight fussbudget with the little boys' dirty underwear hidden in the bottom drawer. I don't mean to call Retail a pervert, that goes too far, but my gaydar is flashing like a disco ball.

What do you really think is going to change even if the romper room is considered "R?" Other than removing ambiguous, subjective regulation?

This is what has always made things difficult. I can see Skins perspective about not making the RR a G rated section because it is about adult conversation topics. But at the same time RG is right that people look at work. I would lean towards the one that brings more posts because it is the most common complaint I have heard for some time. I could see the adult discussions taking place in the RR but once post are linked to other content outside of PackerRats things change.

So if I'm reading this situation correctly, the choices are:

A) Choosing a more liberal point along the posting spectrum (Skin's view).
B) Choosing a more conservative point along the posting spectrum (RG's view).
C) Choosing a different point all together along the posting spectrum.
D) Not making a decision, and perpetuating the ambiguity.


I believe D is the worst answer.

In your shoes I'm going to try and choose the point that spurs the most good content creation. A rule is no good to you if it kills off good content creation. Even if there are otherwise valid reasons for considering such a rule.

I just want to be able to write dirty words when ever I want. I don't need to see dirty pictures outside of the garbage can. I have an imagination.

This hasnt really changed. I dont recall threads getting GCed over words in a post. Always over a fight or some pic.

Enough with the Yoda shit. Im here for answers not questions.

I really dont see why R conversation needs to be blocked from RR. Im on the fence about embedded images or videos because those show up as hits on peeps work accounts.

This! +1

I doubt anyone at work or at home with a child nearby will be "offended/fired" if the word fuck shows up.......its when it accompanied by a picture that causes a problem.

RG, makes a great point. its not so much that a thread with the Title NSFW, but it when a picture of an ass is put into a Nascar thread that I'm following. That causes the problem.
