Stricter Rules

I HAVE OFF CAUSE OF THE WEATHER. IT SNOWED BY ME.

IT'S SEMESTER BREAK FOR ME. WOOT. I'D RATHER SPEND TIME IN HELL THAN HAVE TO GO TO GYM TOMOROW. They literally have Marines come in. O_O

--It's a teacher work day here, so I'm off. Hooray for teachers working! Also they scheduled it today because finals ended last week.--

Pfft. You lucky ducks. I have a social final tomorrow, and a math final in seven days. And trust me, I'll need at least five days to get ready for that math.

Didnt this forum used to be PG-13 anyways?

I remember that being the rule, so if the parents are complaining, maybe they should make sure their kid is was over the rating before complaining.

On that note, how exactly did the parents contact you? I forget if theres a way for guests to contact the admins on forummotion.

And if they used their kids account, well, theres an internet rule that goes along the lines of account sitting, and they kinda would have broken it by using thier kids account, as it isnt theirs. -.-

I was discussing this with Sunshine the other day and we both agree that it was the paren'ts fault. But...when you label a thread PRIVATE or MATURE then I want the mods to read it to make sure no rules are being broken. The parent doesn't want any sexual posts to be made or sent. Period, your missing the point.

My thoughts are the average age of this site is 13, so, 13 years old, 7th or 8th grade if Im not mistaken, well, theres some sex education in 6th grade, and 8th grade, so they should know what it is, and I dont see how it affects them in any negative way if the posts are not including any details, if its just like 'we went into my room, and came out an hour later, blah blah blah' its not even clear if they did have sex in there -.-

Most kids these days know enough about this subject to not be traumatized by it, its just that most Parents are wayyyy too overprotective and clueless to how mature their child is, mine still think i dont swear -.-

Just my humble opinion,

oh and admins, can you guys check my new char and accept it please?

I hate it when people ask me if I can accept their charrie. It's rather anoying. Just sayin'. Er...back to the topic though. Parents are wayyy too overprotective. My uncle, the other day, was like you can't go to the mall alone with your friends because your too young. And I'm all like, "I'm fifteen." And he's all like, "Your too young." And I'm like, "You must think I still don't know about the birds and the bees and sex and swearing and drugs right?" He was just stunned. And then I was like, "Dude, if you heard my mouth at school you'd be horrified."

I know when I was Admin I hated when people asked me to Accept their character, but I'm just saying it's one of their jobs. I know you can say "Look who's talking" because I'd spaz when people asked me, but seriosuly.

I looked for his charries, but I couldn't find a recent one...

-.- my charrie topic is on the first page of rules and regulations, page 5 of the topic

Its freaking easy to find, its called Gazimu's chars -.-

Let's not get off on the wrong foot here, guys. Back to the topic.
Yes, parents can be overprotective, but its also parents who have authority over the majority of things in this world. As always, we're going to need a majority of users who would like to have pregnant characters be still available on the site if we're going to have them allowed. Personally I have nothing against it, provided nothing gets too serious. And if something is inappropriate, you can always take it to PMs. There's never anything wrong with that.

Of course, the unfortunate thing is that we cannot accommodate all of the parent's suggestions as mainly we don't have control of those things (such as parental control, emails, etc.).

@Gaz: That may be the average, but there are TONS of younger users that are unbeknownst to any of this.

I like the idea of rating the topics, so I think from here on out, that will be the case. Please be sure to rate your topics, such as G, PG, PG 13; no further than PG 13.
One thing the parent was concerned about was online predators, which was linked the the sexual content. We cannot do anything about that except avoid any sexual content. I'm willing to keep pregnant characters, if you all are mostly for that.

YAY. I just wanted to keep my character Piper preggo. Dan, I'm clicking your eggs until my hand breaks, if you accept my new character too.

The who is online map should really have a disable option, now that I think of it, and that you mentioned predators/pedophiles etc, it is basically a map showing the locations of users and its usually accurate, should send word to forummotion on the issue -.-

You can disable that, so I say, we do so. This site won't fall because of possible sexual pretedors(SP?), which also means that the kiss-on-lips policy is a must.

--Dang it. I can't go on PG-13 posts. But still, I guess it's fine. Two more years. *Sigh.*--

Actually Music, im pretty sure its not currently disable-able, I have not seen an admin panel as of late, so we'd have to talk to Dan or something to see.

I saw it when I was in my admin panel.

Ahh, so yes, I move that we should disable it, as it kinda makes things a little, um, personal.

Yes. Even though it is mostly off (I apparently live in a parking lot), it does say the state and city of it, and if it's spot on, a picture of your house.

Yeah, but its still sorta accurate, it shows me in a field, but the field is right beside the road I live on, and its only about 3 minutes(Car) from my house -.-

Not very encouraging for parents or kids.
