18+

I understand what you are saying S-Type. I do live in the real world, even though some of my opinions lead some people to think otherwise. Yes, this is a multi national board and yes, it appears that 16 would be the general age of consent if we take up a tally of all ages in all areas and divide it by the amount of areas. There still does, in fact, exist place from which this board can and is accessed from, where 17 and 18 is the age of consent. So in an environment such as this, shouldnt we work from the top down to encompass all of the age of consent limits? At the very least regarding implying anything sexual through comments?

I understand that I am fighting a losing (or lost, depending on who you ask) cause here, but I cannot help myself. This is my nature. I appreciate you addressing me. I fight on because it doesnt feel right to open a thread of a 16 year old and see sexual comments. It just doesnt.

 

Not gonna move it again, this is the forum for threads such as this in the Celeb Section. Besides, vixen's thread in CP can accommodate the same converstaion, which in turns it has.

BTW, once a poll closes it's closed. There's no way for an admin to reopen it.

 

Without the poll the move would be insignificant to me. Far more have voted than typed in an actual opinion. Didnt know that about the polls.

 

Good, detailed post S-Type. I believe you regarding the extremes that exist. In my mind, it just seems so obvious. Apparently, even though I recognize this as being a multi cultural place, I still view thing from a point of view reflective of my little slice of life. Myself and others find the comments and general attitude towards under 18s to be offensive and unnecessary. I suppose that not being able to post under 18s would be viewed as offensive to those that enjoy them. I am as surprised as you that we even have to have this conversation. I have never seen the need to include under 18s at phun. To me it just doesnt fit.

I now know who some of the creeps are around here and I will stay away from them and the underage girls as best as possible. A shame really. In becoming what one group wants, it completely alienates another group. You may say that if we adopted an 18+ across the board ruling that it may alienate a group here as well. My answer to that is: Dont we all like women 18 and over? This is an adult site right? I would hope that we arent catering to a group that only likes under 18s. So at the end of the day, who would we really alienate with the 18+ rule?

 

I'm not sure why age of consent is being brought up all the time. If age of consent was the key factor, then why do most seem to feel that graphic sexual comments about 16 year olds are vulgar and in bad taste? After all if you can actually have sex with them legally, why can't that be expressed? To me it it is more about young girls being allowed in an adult place. These same girls are not allowed in nightclubs with adults. Having said that, I understand that 16 year olds are allowed here - but no matter what anyone says, they are not fully mature. If you think I'm wrong save a photo of skinny as a rail Jenner now and compare it to when she turns 18.

Also, I find amusing the sentiment that the loss of a few high school aged pseudo celebs would damage the mighty Phun. Is that what it's come to? My view is that the Celeb forum has been under-moderated for YEARS and has become a bit of a cesspool. Technology keeps advancing, but the quality of posts in Celeb has continued to deteriorate. Why is that? The vast majority of posts are LQ or MQ.

I keep asking this question but have NEVER gotten a response from any Mods: How popular is Phun now compared to 2 or 3 years ago? Members have answered the question by doing a minute of research on the internet. Phun's popularity continues to wane while other "fora" take its place.

No doubt the server issue contributed to the decline, but my opinion is that a lack of direction and an anything goes philosophy has rendered the Celeb forum far less attractive than it once was ...

I also think that it's telling that none of the moderators have much of a background posting Celeb pics ... what we have is many who come from the chat side of the house. Quite telling that it was a priority to clean up the General Forum because "there were too damn many pic threads". I've not seen nearly the effort (until just recently) to rid forum of all these "I want to fuck this 16 y.o." or "I want to fuck her 14 year old sister, she's hot" comments. I'll give Scribe credit for doing his part. The rest of the mods just show up with their justifications as to why the age needs to remain 16.

 

are you interested in debating or making progress.

my view is that the Phun Celeb section has lost much of its appeal because too much crap has been allowed, lax moderation, rogue posters and simple neglect.

tell my why hasn't the march of technology affected the popularity of the sites that have long since surpassed Phun in popularity.

the place is being run into the ground and NOW you'er asking me for a grand scheme to fix it? I've been on a soapbox with my concerns forever ... apparently my schemes are not favored by the team.

my point about under 18 is that if a few skinny immature 16 year olds are that critical to Phun volume, them Phun itself is a mere shell of what it once was ....

 

^^^^^ don't we know all that?

 

you guys just like to talk & talk & talk. In the meantime nothing happens.

... with all due respect!

 

Fair enough S-Type. I have no qualms with the first topic of your post. I will do my best to patiently wait for the reds to do what they feel is necessary to cut down on the comments.

Just to beat the dead horse one more time. 18+ across the board still seems an easy fix to me, in spite of the valid evidence you have presented. I still have yet to hear one compelling reason for having teeny boppers here at phun. I suppose that is what I am continuing for at this point. I know I have pretty much lost, but have no good reason why.

 

I get what your saying Tbone. In reality though, this is social forum. Social being a key word. Social begets talking & talking & talking. How long you been here now? Lets concentrate on the real issues. Talking isnt one of them.
