I'd say it's worth a try...if for no other reason than to see how far people could 'push the envelope' before having their thread banished to the basement... I imagine it could get pretty exciting after a while...lol.. I like it! I vote try it for a week or two, but only as an experiment...lmao.
Yeah - that thought did occur to me. But seriously folks - don't you agree that some of the images are Way across a line?
As for banning - speaking hypothetically - b/c I know no such thing will ever occur here - Guess I'd stay pretty busy banning IPs for awhile. It must have some effect, b/c other boards manage to control rampant and offensive trolling that way.
But back to my original thought - is it possible to have a block user feature? So, individuals could have some control over what they are subjected to - with out having to abandon the board all together?
For the time being, you might be 'safest' not reading threads Who is involved with. Seems the troll derails the thread with porn when Who derails the discussion with BS and program propoganda.
Don't click links unless it's clear where they go. After a couple of days with no comments, then it might be safe to take a peek if you're still interested.
As always, you must tell parents etal what to expect here. It's an open free for all. For all its 'negative' aspects, there's nothing to compare in terms of accurate info on the industry. The 'Cliff's notes' sometimes comes with a price. Give parents direct links to what they are looking for. Warn them about clicking on links.
Life is not 'safe'. Never was, never will be.
