Dear members,
I'd like to get back into this site because I love and loved the discussions around sexuality. I know sometimes feathers are ruffled between posts and it can get out of hand, but it's the forums exchange of ideas around the lives and culture and perspective of LGBT people and of the sharing of these ideas and opinions that I do crave and miss.
What I find is a barrier for me to full enjoyment and participation on the site right now is the saturation of explicit threads on graphic sexual acts and the subject headers thereof. However, I accept that there are many users who like these posts, and these days i believe in live and let live.
So.. isn't there a simple way of just creating a sub-forum for these posts signposted simply with PLEASE POST SEX STUFF HERE on something? or many sub-forums to meet the expanding needs of everyone here? A sub-forum for different themes, not divisive, simply organised so people can reach what they want to reach. It's quite common in other forums to do this. I can give examples of what I mean if need be.
I really find reading the constant references to porn/cum/cock/pussy in subject headers makes me
a) grumpy, uncomfortable, awkward. Being bisexual doesn't make me automatically immune to feeling uncomfortable constant explicit porn. :(
b) paranoid about someone finding the site open on my ipad or computer (I never used to be. I'm not ashamed by being bisexual, but I am ashamed by being caught watching porn. Aren't most people?) :yikes2:
c) feel like this is no longer a place for a community of individuals, just a porn stop :eek2:
and
d) makes it difficult to find the stuff I want to read as there is no index or sorting system for my needs (above) as user. :confused:
Simply going down the list of subject headersis enough to create these feelings. Do I need to say why? However, if there was some kind of subgroup system which meant the homepage was the welcome portal page to the rest of the site, and users could split off and go to the parts of the forum that met their needs. Fine, keep the porn, organise it somewhere, so it isn't splurging out on the front page for all and sundry. I feel like when I go to the site, it's become that teenage feeling of not wanting to be seen buying a gay magazine because it's got a load of smut on the front page. It makes me at times embarrassed to be a member here and embarrassed that we have allowed this site to become riddled with cheapened, wank speak where once was really meaningful and deep expressions of our loves and sexualities.)
so im not advocating getting rid of the porn, I'm just suggesting a better way of organising the forum so that
people can access what they need to access
newcomers are not turned away by intimidating, inappropriate (to them) porn content
old timers can regain some of the magic of communication, sharing and debating, of ideas and issues.... that we used to have everywhere. not just in the spaces between every other cum/cock/pussy poll.
for me easy answer is sub-forums. no problem. like in a book...where you have a contents page. simple.
Fair enough, if that is not what people want, then I understand, but it is AT LEAST worth suggesting or putting our heads together to think of a better solution to this often...OFTEN..voiced problem that we have here at the moment. I would suggest writing a letter to Drew about it. I'm not sure if he reads these forums anymore, understandable as its time intensive for one man to keep track of everything. Drew if you are reading this, would love your input too.
Best.

Good points Daf
I'll come back to this thread but I agree with most that you have written.
As far as smut showing on the front page I definitely agree that it is inappropriate. Did Drew talk awhile back about getting credit card use had a problem when the credit card company found the front page inappropriate? Second pages no problem..lol?
Your sub forum idea will work as well. Large General Headings would be visible and you can click to read the title of a thread under that sub forum heading. i.e.
Bisexual Questions about coming out, finding other bisexuals,
Bisexual Relationships(with other bisexuals, heterosexuals, gays etc.)
Bisexual Health and Welfare
Bisexual Politics and Society
Debatable Subjects , Rants
Sports and sexuality (athletes that are hot, NHL games, Olympics etc.)
Arts and Culture( music, visual art, movies connected to bisexuality or other cultural issues)
General Chat (what doesn't fit into other categories)
Personal Grooming (shave what?, body piercings etc.) (maybe two sub groups under the Personal grooming ..male personal grooming sub sub forum and a female personal grooming sub sub heading?)
Toys and other ideas for Bedroom fun
Welcome Questions about using the Site (blogs, main forum, groups what are they for?)
Do you like? (specific sex acts, places to visit, food, etc.)
Raunchy as all get out (you name it show it and chat dirty pictures and talk)
One flaw/issue may be that some may post under the 'wrong" heading. Others may get upset. (Raunchy in General Chat)…might need some moving of threads if placed in the wrong heading. Nothing is perfect though..lol

These are all some great ideas--actually when I said I wished I had the money to buy this site--it was this sort of division of things that I had in mind if it were possible for me to do so. I know that Tenni sort of thought I was about not allowing some of the wilder kinky sex stuff---that wasn't my meaning at all---because at times---I admit-I like to get into some less "thoughtful" sexual stuff as well--but that for the most part at this site--I do prefer the sorts of "real" conversations that dayfd talked about.
I would like to see things divided into sections--with the main forum section being for those more "meaningful" exchanges, and then with areas that people could go and post up the wildest things they want in terms of sexual matters.
Glad that others are thinking along the same lines---hopefully what gets said here will be noted, considered and implemented if it's at all possible to do so.

Good idea OP, I have been busy and have not been on the site since the end of December. I noted our pig sex friend is in cooling off, and yet my inbox here still got blitzed with the same troll in different guises (usernames) about "how [I] should respond to the Circumcision thread more", but I digress.
Anyways it would be nice to have more topical forums to relegate certain subject matter. I agree that we do not need to many, anyway from 3 to 5 sub forums ought to do it.

The site already allows for the creation and use of groups. One could
argue that either the sex folks, or the intellect folk could make group,
allowing only their respective types of postings. Groups may also be by
invitation only, further limiting the scope of a group.
This same issue was addressed regarding the chat. It wound up being
silly. Folks using chat were allowed to create their own chat rooms,
even make them invite only. And yes the chat controls to do so, same
as the forum controls to create groups are intuitive enough as to be
simple.
What I feel needed is possibly a unit of the site set aside to instruct
on the uses of these tools, as well as instruction on using the ignore
feature. Seems fairly obvious that folks do not know how to make a
couple clicks with a mouse. Maybe if it were spoon fed to them?
Yet that may also fail to address the issue. One could point out a
choice to not bother learning. This to me defines stupidity, immaturity
and folks whom don't merit my time. As I stated regarding the so called
"pig sex" threads even text based browsers provide title information
about links. Usually for those threads it was clear in reading what may
show up in the thread.
If you chose to not look, great, you steered clear. If you chose to look
at that point it was on you for choosing to look, you have no right to
complain. The threads did not just pop open and display themselves in
all their glory, a person has to click upon their links.
So yes, I see this as a matter of personality responsibility, common
sense. And get tired of hearing of stupidity. If you do not like
something, do not view it. If you do view it, then you have no ground
to complain, you made that choice. If you don't want to see images of
folks having sex, don't visit an adult themed site. Drew has made no
misrepresentations here. He operates other adult themed sites as well.
Sorry if I sound too jaded over this, or too strongly opinionated. But
the issue for me seems a total non-issue. If you want to see something,
you click through and see it. Otherwise you don't click through. If
you click through you cannot then complain, not when reading the title
expresses what the link is about. How is that difficult to comprehend?
Oh right, we have that bloody stupidity bit ... *sighs*

That is good to know. But do you not recall the chat room hub bub? I
believe it was over folks having cyber sex in the main chat room. At the
time the bedroom chat room existed as well. At the same time there was
also an ignore feature in the chat room. If you did not want to watch
cyber sex you could click ignore. Several did. Someone objected, so we
got many more chat rooms which no one really uses.
My point is the site is fine as is. The users need to learn to use the
site as is, and yes that applies to each case. I am not arguing for one
over the other. What I am arguing though is each user take personal
responsibility, learn to use the site. Obviously yes, there is something
said of tact. I am not denying that. Also something said for choosing to
not look at what you don't want to look at too. If you choose looking at
anyway, you void your right to complain.
Seems counter-intuitive to me to profess you don't want to see x but
yet click through a link which clearly says "hey we're showing x here",
then, complaining about seeing it. If you did not want to see, you
should not have clicked the linked saying that. I mean it warrants a
patented "D'uh".
N.B.
And I understand an argument may be posed, "why do we need to
click ignore?" Well, in all fairness the inverse holds true. Why do folks
need to only post X in the X thread, or group? Who has the onus?
I believe it lies with each user in regards to perception. Action
precedes perception. I.E. Someone does something that others
look at. So, I think it lies with the lookers. If you don't want see
that particular action, don't look.
To try forming it in the reverse can often be difficult at best.
Not saying it cannot be done. Am saying tastes and issue of tact
vary widely on this site. It is simpler to let each user choose what
to look at rather trying to pigeonholing a thread or subject.

It's the initial avalanche of sex threads that gives sensitive souls (IE Dafydd.:tongue:) the impression that the members here are all debauched sexual deviants with little interest in discussing the finer things in life. Yes ok, that's true a lot of the time and it isn't a wholly false impression.lol But it would be nice if those delicate creatures could come here and feel at ease posting threads about their emotional turmoils etc without the sense that they're going to get overlooked for the 27 varieties of cum threads.
A 'Filth' forum would IMO provoke an outlet for all the sexual frustrations, curiosities and fantasies for any in the need (horned up). A 'General' forum would provoke the less horned up to have a nice think about stuff.
Lets face it, we won't be able to keep it clean! But it's worth a shot.:tongue:

You can divide the forum up all you wish, but the "trolls" who cause most of the problems will post to wherever they wish, despite any rules or guidelines. I don't think anyone has issue with some of the sex oriented threads, but they do (myself included) have issue with threads being peppered with graphic pictures that have absolutely nothing to do with the thread subject. This particular poster has done this in the past, on this site and on others....and his MO is to shock and disgust and he is often successful at doing both. No rules will change how he/she/it operates.....Drew just needs to be aware of such posts so I encourage others to use the report button if you find such a situation.

you have misunderstood my original issue.
This site looks like a porn site from the home forum page. You do not need to click on a link to regret coming here.
The subject headers are gratuitous in the extreme and put people way off. This site looks dirty. I only want to suggest making it more accessible to current and new users. Your comments about 'stupidity' make no sense. However i understand you feel the site is fine as it is. That's great. Thanks. I guess my issue with the site isn't supported by the majority of the users. Also cool. But to say its down to user savvyness to interpret this site as anything other than a filthy porn hub is ridiculous. Just reading the subject headers of the forum is enough to make most people run.

Unfortunately giving the climate of internet forums, and the anonymity of posting, there will always be trolls. My suggestion was simply to make this place as great as it was and since the influx of total porn related content on the main page...it isn't. But I guess I'm in the minority about wanting a social hub here. Porn is not about socialising. It's about getting off. And then logging off.

Dafydd for President. Er, Prime Minister? Maybe forum community organizer?
What I mean is… To me, it seems like a good idea and nice to promote something more erudite around here for a change. Smut is fine, if/when you/I/we/they want smut. But, that's not always. It does seem that the heavy smut content of late overshadows the conversations on more general topics.
Practically speaking, I suspect that sorting and policing such a thing would be incredibly time consuming. The "trolls" who post the smut out of context seemingly intentionally likely wouldn't stop because they have a designated place for smut. Who's going to manage all that?
That said, I'm in favor of the idea. Call me sensitive.

No, I was only being sarcastic with the 'sensitive souls' & 'delicate creatures' bits (sorry for that), the rest I fully agree with you on.:thumbu:
That Topfucker's pig-thread crusade was an eyeopener, and I suspect that was his intention as he's not just any dumb troll IMO. But for me personally, it was that bloke from Belgium's thread that really dug the forum into a depth that I had little interest of climbing my way back up from after opening it.

As you express this as such, I understand and respect that. What I lack respect for is those users whom
were not as clear in such expression. Then, them seeming to have issues because they saw content they clicked
to see. To me clicking to see something you don't want to see and then complain about it, is stupid.
I had not really noticed the thread titles being any more or less offensive. What some did seem to have issue
with was the content in the threads. Again, to complain about seeing it if you click through to me seems stupid.
And that is what some seemed keen upon doing.

It should not surprise anyone that two posters who have been members seven or eight years would not need some guidance as to how to behave on the site. I don't think that the purpose of the sub forums is to educate long time posters. The sub heading would guide newbies. I've notice a change in the tone of the threads since the discussion has turned away from specific monotonous threads such as Do you like…etc. I think that is good but perhaps others waited too long as Cat posted to kick some ass. Sexual freedom does have limits. Sexual anarchy does not. I think that the site has been sexual anarchy for at least four months. Some long time posters do seem to support sexual anarchy to the point of encouraging new posters to post grotesque images. These sexual anarchist newbies were eventually put in cooling off but not the long time posters who encouraged the sexual anarchy. Then again, the long time posters did not post such grotesque images themselves. The sexual anarchy grew and grew..newbies thought that behaviour was how to behave and post.
"Practically speaking, I suspect that sorting and policing such a thing would be incredibly time consuming. The "trolls" who post the smut out of context seemingly intentionally likely wouldn't stop because they have a designated place for smut. Who's going to manage all that?"
I've noticed on another bisexual site where headings are used that the volunteer mods do spend a rather small amount of time moving a thread under the wrong sub forum headlines. I think that is done less than three or four times every six months but I've not focused on it. The trolls do not seem to post smut since new members are slowly given "rights". I've never seen any smut on the front page but I suspect if any one tries that they are banned from the site and their posting ability is over (like this site's cooling off) None of the main headings available to the public or new members permit nudity. Only after a certain time /number of posts are they permitted into a section where nudity is permitted. I've never read any reference to fisting or waterspouts as in reality neither directly link to bisexuality. That is not to say that some bisexuals may practise such sexual kink. I don't know of any rule on that site forbiding such discussions but the nudity restriction delay might deter a person interested in such sexual behaviour. Discussions are civil and differing views tend not lead to personal slurs.

Those posters that you charge with sexual anarchy are removed in a timely manner. If they attach you or others on this site, confront them with their intolerance and boorish behavior. Otherwise, don't go away, but do reread my previous post about extending a little bit of tolerance.
Suppose this my view of tolerance. *chuckles* "Moderation, even in moderation."

I agree with you, though. Often it seems Drew is fairly on the ball, no pun
intended, as it were. Kind of why I maintained this seemed to be a mountain
made from a molehill. That and I had not comprehended exactly what had been
said regarding the site needing to be "presentable" in mixed company.

I brought this up in site feedback before Christmas but I'm still having problems with it. No it's not me or my computer and a couple others have said they're experiencing it too.. This is the only site I have this problem with. Skipped key strokes. It takes forever to post because I have to keep going back to make corrections. As a result I've become more of a lurker.

Yes that happens to me all the time (like right now). Hope it gets fixed soon. Otherwise, I am learning to keep it short or create it in MS WORD and copy/paste here.

The site keeps it's equilibrium partly because of the diversity. I think we are made better people by discussing our disagreements. Otherwise, intolerance rules.
