16 years and over forum.

Some ppl get pointless infractions though, such as double posting which has nothing to do with maturity

In that case it would encourage people to stick to the rules, making the rest of the forum better as well as providing a place for well-behaved members to have mature conversations.

Also, at first, you make it public for everyone and ban the people who begin to act imature and act foolishly from that forum. It would be easier instead of reviewing everyone

I personally think that should apply to the whole of the forum, but unfortunately it doesn't. It also would make a poor first impression, as people will see the immature people posting and be put off.

Personally I think that we should have that trailed as I think it could really help stop rule breaking around the forum as people would be much more encouraged to stick to the rules as they wouldn't want to get banned from that forum. Nice idea, well done for suggesting it.

I know this is slightly different to the original suggestion, but maybe the same mature conversation could be a achieved in a "perfect record" forum? Only people who have 0 infractions could view it, and they would have to be at least silver member or VIP to prevent people just registering new accounts and posting. This would also give expiration of infractions a purpose; you have to wait until the infractions have expired to view the forum.

But then why would those with a 'perfect record' want to post in a section where the rules are relexed when they could just post in another section.

That's just not a dig at that post by the way.. the whole idea is fairly pointless in my eyes.

If that is the case then surely the whole idea of having a forum for more mature members is self-contradictory? Proving that you're mature just to go to a special hidden away forum and spam away seems to lack logic to me, feel free to correct me.

I can see what you are saying. Personally I think the idea of another forum for better behaved members is more realistic.

I think this has gone a bit off the original idea! The best thing to do in my opinion would be to trial this 'Older peoples' forum and let people into it who want to talk to each other and have a laff and without the sily comments you can get.

i dont want this to appen soz.

[Lycan]

Leave the 16, get an 18+ Forum.

... and by 18+ i'm not talking about images i'm just talking about a more mature adult level of conversation on something other then "Look at that noob he has furni"

[Catzsy]

And what's the test for maturity?

[Lycan]

there is no real test for maturity, i guess you could tell from the way they act, speak, there level to commitment, if they keep a stable debate rather then abusive response, if they laugh at toilet humour?
