Adult threads...

I'd propose (if possible from a programmer point of view) adult threads (only accessible by people aged 18 or over) at RHP (and no, not for porn - before you start asking ;-)

Any thoughts, comments on that ?

How would admin verify a member's age?

well-how would you prove that your 18? with a credit card? well-you can imagine all those kiddies pretending to their parents to subscribe them, but in actual fact they're subscribing AND proving they're 18, or something along th ose lines...

twould be hard to organise etc. so, bascially, not such a good idea. the simple option is just for the mods to mod them 😛

They would be for paying members only, and only if they pay by credit card?

??

Perhaps the card charge could Read... RHP Adult Chess membership?

That way the parents can read what they paid for right on the bill?

Hmmm.... I didn't think of that, maybe it's impossible to implement then ?

It's just that I am quite sick of reading from certain very young and very annoying individuals at RHP everythime I visit the clan forum page ...

No you stole it, no you did ...

Very hard to implement indeed.And besides,I doubt an adult forum would be free of childish behaviour.
Prolly not a 'you stole it,no you did' but similar and with more harsh and insulting language.Overtime for the mods LOL
Not a bad idea though,but what would you discuss that kids aren't allowed to read?

Well, first off all I wouldn't moderate adult threads at all... The only reason (I personally) see in moderation at RHP is to keep the children safe from 4 letter words and other explicit language, but if (theoratically) and adult thread would only be there for adults, why moderate ?

And it's not so much WHAT adults would debate, but more the way of how and on top of that, it would be free from childish posts (apart from when Rob posts ;-)

there should be no forum with age limits, so their is no inapropriate content

And it's exactly posts like the quoted which annoy me as they bare simply no content whatsoever ... Well, when mulling over the theoratical chances of such being implemented I realise that from a programming point of view it is probably not easy and on top of that, I take the point of verification ...

There are a lot of younger people that frequent the forums that are a part of our community. Such as D43mon, Royal is 17 isn't he?, and T1000? What about LivingLegend? They shouldn't be punished because of a choice few others. Oh, and I think Remora is a part of the community, is she not?

this is right on nastasha!
rhp is not an adult community - it is a chess site where people of all ages and both genders come together to play chess and to engage in discussion.
i doubt if anyone's local chess club has an adult section - rather, both genders and individuals of all age groups simply behave themselves.

it is not too much to ask everyone to behave in a civilized fashion here - people do so all the time.
those that are somehow incapable of doing so for the present can always be put through some sort of behaviour modification till that capacity awakens within them.

in friendship,
prad

Spot on pradft.
The forums are here in RHP to help sponsor the community, not divide it.
A forum open to only a specific section of our community would be contrary
to that idea and thus contrary to the purpose of the forums themselves
