Should there be a watershed on MN??

No sex, swearing...ERRR....

UNTIL AFTER 9PM?

IMO, this is far to controlling. If I don't want my kids to read something I tell them to go away!

I don't think there should be any sort of watershed but it would be nice if people were thoughtful enough to censor their thread titles - even a few well placed *s are enough. The one that particularly pissed me off was the one about the 4x4 ad which, unnecessarily, had FUCK in capitals in the title.

i do think thread titile are much more explicit now than they used to be.
peopel were more uraded
i rememrb when i put bloody in a titile adn relaly felt daring.

i htink theres a half way house here
title can be less risque so you cna browse the whoel window wihtout clicking madly

16 y-o DD found me on the bj thread - she was totally grossed out

Very true, I've had to start ignoring emails from some friends until I am well and truly alone after I opened one and scrolled down, with DS playing in the room behind me, to see a very, very nasty picture.
I hope he didn't see.
And why would I want to?
Damn I need new friends...

it's just some words on the thread titles god i sound like mary whitehouse but my son is 12 and can read from miles away

I usually have 2 screens up anyway so I flick over if I don't want LO to see anything if she comes in the room (else I just minimise the browser).

At least if it echoes it means it's clean...

expatinscotland · 01/09/2006 15:07

I have to agree w/you there, LGJ, the Judge Flounce flounce thread was one of the best!

MN Hall of Fame, that one.

Beware Dinosaur or you too shall have channel 5 knocking on your door to tear your family to shreds, just give a bottle and dump out on the streets with mine!

When Judge Flounce flounced, my DS figured out how to do bread and jam for himself.

It was either that or starve. Now that was a rivetting thread.

Holidaymum · 01/09/2006 13:28

kitchen? mine are left to rummage through bins in the street!

Saturn74 · 01/09/2006 13:25

Thanks, Dinosaur.
