I think you need an explicit group

poet Anonymous

Hello, I notice countless times, inappropriate sexual content being placed in places like word group. Maybe this site needs an explicit group so those who want to exercise that subject, can do in an adult only group. Where younger people can’t see it and those adults not wanting to see it, don’t have to

Just a thought

The site as a whole allows sexual content; why is it considered inappropriate in a group?  Because there is no EC warning? Does the group's guidelines prohibit sexual content?  Would having an "explicit group" prevent such postings in current groups without guidelines prohibiting them? Just asking for clarity's sake.

So what is 18 + ?

Is using the word fuck 18 + ?

Is talking about sex , 18 + ?

Is saying I fucked an angel , 18 + ?

Glad you are not a mod...;)

And I know 13 year olds who use language similar or worse than that

Time to grow up

I do not have to back off...it is my opinion of a suggestion , I feel is overboard...

Now if admn feels to do it , of course I will honor it...yet I still have the right to express my opinion...

You have a problem with that ?

I am meaning explicit sexual content. Admin ask if you post a poem with such content in it, to post it 18+ they even have a sexual content subject matter that prevents anyone under then seeing the content. Yet in groups there is no such control. What is the point of it with poems if you are going to then allow pornographic writing on groups and forums? If you are going to set boundaries do it. I just thought having a group option for people to exercise that subject freely would be better. I notice there has already been a post about an adult content area so this ins’t a new idea. We should be able to discuss concerns and ideas openly without having to have people become defensive or intimidating. We are not talking about the odd swear word here. We are talking about graphic sexual content. Something that actually normally would have an age restriction on. DUP is no different to any other site

Actually , the longer you are here , the longer you would find ,
rules , and realities , do not often match...just sayin'...:)

As far as "any other site"...  

And "fuck an angel" should be age and term restricted ?


Hmmm....

Thanks Blackwolf, yes it would appear to be the case on this site. Though I am aware there are rules for how adult content such as porn is regulated on the internet. For instance WordPress ask sites who use their servers to always have a disclaimer and age 18+ request. Which the poems section here does have. However if such explicit subject matter hasn’t got this you can have your site suspended. The internet still has boundaries although like you say, people don’t always abide to them.

Many thanks for your input :)

I do understand your concerns , good sir...

Yet , as in many sites , people view reality , as we call it ,
most differently , and over time , I myself , have found
what passes through the "cracks" on DU , to be quite
arbitrary , and most interesting...

So to control a whole website of creative poets ?

No , I do not think it will happen easily...

I am not against your point...just stating a reality of
perception , as well , the judgement call of censorship...

Maybe the site is so big and busy it’s just too difficult to man every post placed. I know you can set it so peoples comments are not listed until given permission by admin. But this is a large poetry site. As you say, there are limits and things will slip through the cracks as it were. Funny other sites manage to control such things. But maybe they don’t have to admin staff for here
