You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned (and your service provider being informed). The IP address of all posts is recorded to aid in enforcing these conditions. You agree that the webmaster, administrator and moderators of this forum have the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time should they see fit. As a user you agree to any information you have entered above being stored in a database. While this information will not be disclosed to any third party without your consent the webmaster, administrator and moderators cannot be held responsible for any hacking attempt that may lead to the data being compromised.
This would seem to be an appropriate consequence and is what every user agrees to when creating a fornits account. Or does being a survivor give one some special right to avoid consequences for their actions, and to spew hate and abuse around for the rest of their life?

--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---Most "free speech" public forums do have a protocol. It is there to safeguard everyone's right to free speech (which isn't an issue on an Internet site) but also to control hecklers (which is an issue here) and to keep the discussion relevant (which is also an issue). Even if the protocol is relaxed, it is impossible to justify the posting of porn on a Troubled Teen Forum.
I'm not being prudish. What set me off is a video multiply posted on the Hyde Schools threads of two girls eating each other's shit and puking into each other's mouth. (I didn't actually watch it; I was careful to Google it first. But why should every video and photo on Fornits have to go through airport security?) If I wanted that kind of entertainment, I'd reread the Marquis de Sade, or go to the appropriate Web sites. But it has no place here on a Troubled Teen Forum. And since I've been provoked, I'd say that's true of all porn, not just the above described.
The point is that you are doing more harm than good to Fornits by not regulating it. Of all people, you Fornits people should be able to understand the need for regulation.

I checked those out. In all fairness, they were LINKS, with writen warnings. Why would you even have to google what they are when you already get a warning? You upset over someone posting a link? He posted that he wasn't gonna do it again, and he hasnt. Not enough for you?

You obviously have not seen the wide range of photos, not links, that permeate various forums and threads. Some good ones have been totally trashed. I won't sink to the level of idiocy demonstrated by the original posters by linking to them here. Judging by the level of immaturity that runs rampant here, makes you wonder about the level of honesty of everything posted on fornits in the 1st place??? ::boohoo::

--- Quote from: ""Scarlett Chiclet"" ---Ok, I haven't got time now to find the Gook's words of wisdom on user blocking. Wish I did. But as to the porn content, I don't usually edit other people's posts unless they request it or at least give their ok. We don't make editorial decisions we just keep the site up so that each user can make their own calls. There's a whole lot of content on here that I find to be far more offensive than pornographic images. Sometimes I argue against it when I have the itch and the time but I don't make any attempt to control the content. And trying to ban someone is an exercise in futility even if it were a worthwhile endeavour, which I do not believe it to be. Generally, when the opposition comes out with porn, spam, ad hominem attacks then you know you've won the argument.

Well, I think you've lost one of the major benefits of this forum. And at least one of your admins is abusing their privileges, and bumping logged in users off, which undermines any credibility you might have had in a big way. You really should think about at least temporarily blocking IP's for those who post porn or continually ruin the threads in the name of free speech.
More than one kid who is in a program today would be safely home with their parents instead, had their parents been able to stomach this site, and actually acquire some useful information. And some kids who are dead might be alive. At best this forum has been reduced to not so funny entertainment for idiots at this point, and will never be taken seriously by any prospective parent, "real" survivors, investigator, journalist, or anyone else who has a sincere interest in exposing the abuse in the teen treatment industry. Congratulations.
My user account was compromised, so I no longer log in to post. I attempted to get information on the industry from this forum in an effort to expose what happened to my son. I sincerely doubt many parents would stick around for more than 5 minutes. So you survivors who get off on others' pain and abuse, have at it. More kids will suffer because of you, providing yet more entertainment for your sick minds. For those who post useful information and discussion about real issues, I suggest you find a real forum. Disagreement, discussion, and freedom to state one's opinions are great. This version of free speech really sucks.
And if I were you, I'd spend a teeny amount of time keeping tabs on some of your "admins"..... But oh wait... then you'd be behaving like a .... parent.....

I will find Gook's wisdom for you if it's in here: I have nothing but time. This is for while you're waiting...
--- Quote from: ""try another castle"" ---Okay, here is a lesson in blcoking images. You can right click on the image above, and there will be an option to "block images from _________" which will always block from that server. Obviously, you will end up seeing it once, but you don't even have to wait for it to finish loading in order to use the "block" function.
If you want to unblock it, you can go to the exceptions button next to the "load images automatically" in the tools menu. (In the "main" tab.)

I'll be back... Hope this helps.
