My Computer

Default 18+ forum

what does everyone think of having an over 18 forum possibly a sub-catagory of general chat, where people can post funny pics or vids with sexual references or with swearing in them, although, i don't know how you would only get the web filter to only filter out that specific forum, and only allow users with their age set over 18 access to that forum, or even over 21, what does everyone think ?

or even have different rules that apply to the specific country the use is from

any more ideas ?

LOL! This is a computer forum not a porn website! There's plenty of other websites where you can find that material!

agreed, also we will lose out on advertisers/sponsors even if we had age restrictions in place, simply because they don't want to have their services/products associated with such sites.

While I don't need to really reiterate the other staff comments, the general bent of the staff is that we don't want HWF to be blacklisted as "adult". We're fairly liberal in the language allowed, and images, to a point, but we want this to be a forum open to people to help them, and introducing an "adult" section would not benefit this goal.

Anyway, I'll close this thread since I'm pretty sure the question has been answered.
