Jesus, I forget sometimes how much more relaxed things are here. It was definitely a lot stricter in the past from what little I recall of my more casual EOFF days. And you know what? As far as the overall atmosphere here, I'm pretty happy with where things are. I don't see much need to make anything more family friendly. For the most part we have a pretty good bunch of people so I don't think tightening rules would do anything but alienate us all at this point.

But I think even if we're to put the question of how family friendly we want to be on the table, it shouldn't be done solely to try and get more members. Really I think tightening the rules would do more to drive away the people we have, and making them more lax probably won't bring in new members because this is the internet and it's not known for its decorum on average. If people want to be complete unaccountable assholes, there are better places than an FF forum.

Any changes to rules to make this place more or less family friendly should be approached from the angle of what do we want this community to be, and do the rules as is support that goal, work against it, or do nothing at all? If it's one of the latter two we can probably think about getting rid of or loosening them up.
