I still agree that if you make a better one, it'd be worth keeping. =P Try doing it in the Writer's Corner, though.

I made one that got sent to writer's corner, and nobody posted in after that. I don't think the writer's corner is the place to start one, though the FFIX forum wasn't a good choice either (I was just trying to generate activity there).

And what do you mean a better one? One that you like better? I like the kind of one I made, that's why I made it. The whole point is that it is made good by the posts.

As ed said, people were having fun, and I thought that was the whole point of coming here. Well it's the only reason I come here anyway.

[Loony BoB]

Well, for a start, it belongs in Writer's Corner, and that's that. No way around that one, sorry.

Good? I mean, like, not people going on about their spears :joey: ...if you know what I mean. Make a love story rather than an orgy. And once you come down to it, it's the staff that get to decide what's good and what's not. Of course, that's why you should post threads like these, so you can dispute it. I personally think that that one was crap, so yeah. Of course, if you dispute it and the majority of staff agree that it should be ammended in the future, we'll look into it. *nods* But you gotta realise that sometimes what you like won't be what the Staff allow, and sometimes it's for reasons that you won't agree with either.

But dispute away, I aint gonna stop ya. It's cool.

Still, it does belong in Writer's Corner. If enough people like it, then you'll have success. You can't put threads in the wrong forums just to pick up traffic, otherwise everyone would post their help / feedback / lounge / gaming threads in General Chat. Y'no.

Yeah, and I'm the one who makes the decisions, not you.

Exactly. I like looking at naked women but do I go asn make threads about them all the time? Nope. I have porn sites for that. This is a FAMILY FORUM. No way could that thread have been classed as appropriate for a family forum.

[eestlinc]

sending these threads to the writer's forum is even better than closing them! that's like sending someone to work at McDonald's in Greenland.

[PhoenixAsh]

I appreciate that it would probably be difficult to put in place, but wouldn't it be possible to setup some way that threads can get age limits so you can only access them if your registered as being that old. I don't really care about story threads, but there are quite a few times in EoEO that important issues are a bit out of family range.

I agree with that thread being closed, as it's been said it's the staff that runs the site, and if they see a problem that's fair enough. R=U on the other hand, well some small strategic attacks should get that back on the allowed topics list MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA.

*Goes to have nightmares about working in a Greenland McDonalds*

[Loony BoB]

Phoenix, it's possible for someone to change their registered age whenever they feel like it =P We just can't do that. Sorry.

[PhoenixAsh]

Yeah I know that, to be honest it doesn't bother me much, I was just suggesting. I dunno if it's on a legal basis or not, but surely if the protection is based on family worries then it would be up to the family to make sure their children aren't registering older than they should be.

[Del Murder]

It's hard for people to see or realize this, but Eyeson would be crap if it wasn't famlily oriented. The vague 'family-oriented' blanket that the staff uses to eliminate so much content is actually preventing this place from turning into another teen hormonefest that comprises most of the internet today.

[Loony BoB]

Well said, Del. *golf clap*

[Spatvark]

*buys Del a Pint*

[PhoenixAsh]

Well yes of course, I was only suggesting giving the ability for some people to discuss certain topics whilst keeping children reasonably protected. The entire point of this thread is about giving people freedom of speech without hurting EoFF.

[Leeza]

Agrees with everything that BoB, Purgatory and especially Del have said. If this were like any other board out there, I know that I wouldn't be here.

I went back and looked at the thread again thinking that I missed something that was actually not pointless. But no, I didn't.

...if you want freedom of speech there are plenty of other message boards out there that are completely unmoderated. Personally, I like the idea of the limits of tastefulness being enforced.

It didn't elude me, but the fact that you meant to come across as rude doesn't make it any less rude.

Thank you Unne; finally someone actually gave a crap enough to back me up. Cheers guys.

Unne said pretty much the same thing I did.

Now the main argument here seems to be what some people find entertaining versus what other people find entertaining. Much of the people here who have the power to act on those opinions and close un-entertaining threads have made their choice, and I suppose everyone else will just have to deal with it. That's what keeps this place from doing all that stuff Del said.

I didn't mean to be rude. I really thought it did elude you. I am not kidding.

Well...we seemed to have relived the ed of days past in this thread. I just wanted to try and fight for freedom like in the days that have long gone...again...I don't know why but I did.

As for going to another forum like people always say...I do so nay
