Threads about Sexual Practices

True, but maybe a more fair solution would be to put NSFW in the title.

And what would the W indicate there? Don't provoke me, I'm really not in the mood to be provoked tonight!

Fear not OBL - the W is definitely a well known abb for Work

And who would do that? the Mods?....I am sure they have got time to do that..... NOT.

Or the Poster? and then we are back to square one, it is all about peoples opinions, what i feel should warrant having NSFW, someone else might not.

Ok, not using computers at work other than when trying to "help" them through an IT lesson, it's not one I was at all familiar with and jumped to an obviously incorrect assumption that the W was for women - SORRY!

Can anyone please reply to my question-

Are you not breaking company policy just by being on an internet forum!?

I think londonblue's right on this in that most people have limited scope for personal use of the Internet. You'll probably find that more companies are becoming less draconian in their acceptable Internet usage policies.

Personally, my company allow me to access any site but I teh caveat is that I can't access anything indecent or offensive (e.g. Myspace pages with naked alleged paedohpiles on is quite a no-no). I think you'll find that a significant number of the psoters on here will be in an office during the day posting on here and guess it would be a near ghost town if none of us did. Marking things as work-friendly or more importantly not, I thought, was just good etiquette.

Trying to think within the boundaries of what you can do with the site, would it be possible to create a closed group called Over 18 or something similar? You could then put any user you know to be over 18 in to that group. you don't have to demand to see birth certificates but I'm sure it would be quite easy to do from what you know already.

I was going to suggest allowing anyone making a donation with Paypal in but then they could be 16, of course ;)

The worry might be a tight knit group of sorts whose name I daren't whisper but if you could make the forum visible with the caveat that you have to be age verified to see it then it might work.

I haven't yet worked out which forum I would use more yet - 'The Family Friendly Pub' or 'The Strip Club'. Still it could work to actually end this quite distinctly.

I do have to admit at having a good laugh at W possibly being meant for Women :)

Not normally an aggresive feminist, honest!

I was just about to post my long-winded and expertly-crafted thread on felching when I noticed this thread and decided with all the advice and arguments on here that I shouldn't post it. Those pesky internet filters are murder - I'll wait until I get home.

re: reading naughty threads - I was more offended by clicking on my TV remote and watching your game last night. Christ, that was positively Orient-esque. Sort it aht.

If you wouldn't talk about it (sober!) in polite company then mark it as NSFW. Easy.

FWIW, while I can see were the owners are coming from, IMO if it's not illegal it should be fair game in the pub. If a thread is reported as unsuitable then delete it if it hasn't been flaggd as such by the original poster. Otherwise leave it alone. I see no reason, like ESB said, why people should complain if they have been given a warning about the content.

This is a football club forum - am I right?
If you want to talk about "brown wings" etc then **** off to a forum that "enjoys" that. Me? I'd rather talk about football.

I hate to point out the bleeding obvious, but there are multiple sections of the forum for talking about football... you know, like the Shrimpers Chat, All Leagues Forum and if you wish the All Sports Forum...

This is the pub mate...

The site is, yes. I don't notice you talking about football in the PUB section though.....

As a poster said to me last night in the Spread "It's a shame you have put a block on it cos I wanted to discuss Coprophagia."
That is the very reason things have to change, where do you draw the line ?

Warnings on the title or not, this is taking things a tad too far. If you disagree I suggest you stop looking on here and go and read some of the sites that cater.

Can anyone please reply to my question-

Nope not all, I'm allowed to use the internet during my lunchtime and freetime so long as I do it responsibly.

By clicking on threads called 'Masturbation' and the such like I don't believe I am being responsible.

A couple of points here:

Does anyone here monitor employee web access for an organization? If so perhaps they could confirm or deny the following.....

First, I am not an an expert but I would imagine the monitoring software employed has a list of banned sites which no employee can access. I would also imagine that it scans each downloaded web page for various keywords, phrases and may also be able to detect pictures of nudity etc.

So, I may not open a thread about a certain practice but the scanning software will see it in the thread title when enter the pub. Depending on your employers internet access policy this may cause you problems.

I for one would not like to be called into an office and asked to explain why I had viewed a forum that contained a thread about female bun fum (sic).

This is absolutely on the money for me aswell Cyril and it was a point I was trying to raise in an earlier thread but I think it got overlooked.

Mate,

Recently you have posted on threads about Euro star tickets, a cat up a tree, Cats and dogs and branded cloths

Now unless you are talking about Nicky Bailey's pet cat stuck up a tree on the Euro star whilst wearing his Freddy Perry T/shirt then it is not just football that you would rather talk about is it??

That's a very fair point, but surely the question is still up in the air as one persons definition of 'overly sexual explicit' will differ to someone elses?

Not that I actually want to take part in these types of discussions, as I was obviously absent from the deleted thread, but just want to ask.
