I'm not getting onto you, I'm just saying this for future reference.  <3 |
It made more sense to me(and still does) to talk to FanDe myself and try to work it out with him one on one before nagging the mods to take care of it. It's sort of like how eBay Buyer Protection and Paypal take care of their problems; they ask the 2 ebayers to work the problem out among themselves, and if an agreement can't be reached then eBay and Paypal come on in and solve the problem. Sorry for the random example but it best fits the matter at hand.

I think that given this forums track record when it comes to mature/sexual discussions of any kind for the most part, an attempt to discuss sexuality without personally involving Alizee herself or her family will more likely than not escalate into a giant argument. That is a reason to further censor these discussions. It's sad, but it's the reputation we have set for ourselves and now we have to reap what we've sown.
However, if we decide to keep censoring certain topics, we could potentially lose significant contributing members of the forum (we all saw what happened with Fan) who may lose interest or feel that they are being unfairly silenced..

I think you're right on your observation that it is indeed a "pick your poison" situation: censor discussions and gain members
or not censor discussions and slowly lose members...
