James and all,

I'm having difficulty making a distinction between the Terrestrial, Telestrial and Outerdarkness forums as of late. Seems the ratings have become so blurred that I'm finding myself blushing at some of the dialog in the terrestrial.

I have appreciated the integrity of the rating system as it was one of the reasons I found this forum welcoming. It has been a place where I can work through things I am unable to discuss with those immediately around me. Lately it has been quite the opposite.

I would like to see the forum return to what it was even several months ago. Thoughts?

Thanks,

Inc.

I'm afraid you'll have to be a little more specific.

PM me with examples and we'll go from there.

Lots of F bombs, Sh.. bombs etc, though they are censored to be F...ing or of that sort. Also some lonks to some pretty gross stuff. One that Merc posted really needed a warning. It was ugly!

Pretty much what I'm talking about. Now I feel like my community has been graffiti'd by a bunch of taggers.

I'm also talking about many (but not all) of the sexuality threads as well. If I want to discuss/read topics referencing masturbation, intercourse etc. I know I can most likely find them where they belong - in the Telestial forum.

I suggest the elimination of all forums but Outer Darkness. Then make me a mod.

Belial,

I get a sneeking suspicion that if ratings were enforced, I may not know you even exist. But I agree, you would make a fab mod of Outer Darkness.

Give me a thread link and I'll have a look.

Although I'm a Goddess, I can't be in all places at all times. ;)

Threads regarding sex are allowed in the Terrestrial Forum as long as the conversation is kept on a PG-13 level. They should also have a some correlation with the culture of Mormonism. Runtu's recent thread is a good example of an appropriate thread on sexuality for the Terrestrial Forum.

I need specific examples or links....otherwise I don't know what people think is appropriate or inappropriate. Otherwise I just go by the minimum guidelines laid down by Shades.

I echo Bond...James Bond and Liz3562. Without a link to a specific post or thread, I won't know what you're referring to.
