Just an idea

[Glen Coco]

Can there not be a sub forum or something that is 16+ where we can swear and stuff and not get warned for being a little bit offensive? I'm sure everyone over the age of 16 can put up with a little bit of Internet banter. Obviously if there's racism and stuff that's a different story.

but that would take away from the activity of the main forum, so I know there will be disagreement to this.

i want one

but we'll never get one.

But there would also be a lot less pointless warnings and upset about 'rude' posts if there was a bit for 16+'s where the rules were a bit more lenient

Why would you want to be offensive? This isn't the sort of forum where you swear at each for entertainment. One would hope this is a place to escape from the youth stereotypes which only know how to communicate in swears or by banging their heads against poles. The current system is fine, and this suggestion comes up far too often and doesn't really promote forum activity.

Anyone can lie about their age and some people under 16 are more mature than those over.

idk about a subforum and i wouldn't know about losing the filter, but just somewhere we can loosen the mature rules (e.g: no spoilers for "mature" content) etc.

No holds barred banter thread...

i don't agree with a sub-forum as it would probably decrease activity on the main forum but couldn't we have an option to remove the filter or something? i'm sure i've seen it implemented on another forum and it seemed like a really good idea.

I don't think it's possible, but if there was a way to "lose" the filter the filter when you reach a certain age.
Example, if you're 15 years 364 days old or younger, you see ****s for swears, and 16 years or older, you can see the swears?
Obviously this would have to be monitored so younger users don't find a way to get around this potential "priviledge".
