There is a time and place for everything.
No one is suggesting censorship. Just putting things in their place, is all.
Suggesting one hit the back button is like suggesting someone un-ring a bell. Once you've opened a thread to see what it says - by the time you wish you hadn't read it, you have.
The extreme vulgarity does not belong on a board dedicated to the discussion of such a serious issue. It absolutely degrades the integrity of the board; polluting every message on it.
I see no reason at all not to move such post, or thread, to a forum more appropriate. It seems like a very workable solution to Ginger's not wanting to censor; and others not wanting to have to wade threw profane filth to see if something meaningful might have been posted.
That being said, it's not as if I think their is the slightest chance any such change will ever be made. It is my opinion that this makes the board a lot less valuable as a resource - and so for that reason, I regret it.
I am never comfortable telling anyone to read fornits - b/c what they might stumble across could be grossly vulgar - not enlightening. It would be much different if one could say, check out this board - but avoid the sewer forum, unless you like gutter talk.
I'm not so sure Ginger's warning, up there on the left, is meant as a warning of profanity and pornographic topics. I thought of it more as a warning there are many diverse and extreme opinions expressed on social and political and religious issues. But maybe I'm wrong.
And sure, I could go away and not bother with Fornits. I have at times taken a break, b/c it just got so extreme I found it stressful to read. But I've always come back. I do at times feel like I need to sign off and never come back. Its not like the world would end - and no one would miss me. I would miss a lot of people here - but I guess I'd get over it in time. I just wish there was a less extreme way to avoid the Porn while not missing real posts. I am certainly not alone in wishing this.
