If anything it's less graphic than what I got shown at school in year 6 however old I was then.
You'd have to go pretty far to beat that, actually, lol.
I personally would disagree to the forum trying to cater better for 16+, I think the forum should continue to cater to Habbo members. If HxF was to turn into a "Teenager" forum or "Young Adult" forum it'll just die, teen forums do not stand any chance by themselves, people try create them but they always fail because they lack any direction.
The large majority of people on this forum used Habbo and that's why they used HabboxForum in the first place, if you cut the ties with Habbo and then you get no new members signing up, you lose people out the Habbo, Trading, Graphics and Web sections and they'll be no people to 'replace' the current members once they leave, eventually resulting in the forum dying.
I have kind of jumped to conclusions however my point is the forum should not become more suited to the 16+ age group by introducing certain forums for them, although in the short term it seems a good idea, I think in the future it'd be a bad idea.
The whole lot of 'em, nancies :@Quote:

Also, Habbo is for teens, but Habbo fail at life in so many ways that they've forgotten that "teens" are between thirteen and nineteen. Between those ages is when puberty is, and the sex talk comes out. The forum is fine as it is.
The rule needs re-writing is the main point I tried to create in this thread. Mentor's threads, as the rules stand, are against them.
Ahh I see your point now (well, MattGarner gave it away when he posted the rule).Quote:

The rule is soo badly written that it sort makes no sense and is unbelievable (literally). The bit in red, the main bit (thus coloured red, or I hope that's why they've done that) actually says talking about sexual intercourse in general is not allowed. Period, full stop yadda yadda. It literally comes across as, you can't make comments or references about sex, including what Mentor has said, sexual relationships (sex with someone else, duh, sex sex sex) - due to the vagueness of the rule.
The bit in fine writing though, completely invalidates the bold bit and confuses it, is it wrong to talk about sex especially graphic details, or only graphic details. What's going on here?
If you read the forum specific rules it elaborates a lot...Quote:

There should be a part of the teen forum only viewable to users who are 13 and above, I've seen a vbulletin mod like that somewhere
And how is saying 'She smoked my pipe' graphic, It could mean an array of things
got infracted for it
