Moderation Sex Board

619 replies

onirgellep · 13/04/2023 23:06

Back in February Justine* committed to an urgent review of moderation of the Sex Board subsequent to the considerable concerns mainly arising from the longstanding Sex Chat thread

Unsurprisingly, issues continue

Would it be possible to have an update on the progress of the review?

And hear when do you anticipate it being completed and the new moderation put into action?

Thank you

I'm afraid I'm unable to link Justine's post on the thread References to Underage Sex on the Sex Board* page 13

We can continue to do this without a sex board, as we did before the sex board existed, by asking on another topic where the discussion will hopefully stay below the radar.

I thought the Sex topic was set up to keep sex threads off the other boards and Active Conversations etc and enable them to add restrictions like membership duration. I'm sure it was set up after requests for a sex topic.

The thread had not refreshed on my app before I made my last post so apologies for the repetition.

I'm not sure why you are telling me this? I haven't defended that thread in any way either here or on the deleted threads

Because you were justifying the thread with the link in.

It's an idea @WavingAtTheClouds but allowing men to pay for access to women seems wrong. There's a word for that, isn't there?

I've thought ever since the start of this that returning to the 90 days to post on the Sex Board would be a simple and effective way of keeping out the wronguns.

I wasn't, I was saying what I thought the intention of it was.

@Surplus2requirements I see on the rugby rimming thread you made a couple of jokes. Shit ones but still jokes, despite being surprised that the thread was on the board it was as it was more descriptive than anything on the sex board.

It seems to me that you thought it was fine to be there, I’m using the joking and not reporting as evidence of that. You even discussed that kids were able to view the video on their phones and the distress to the rugby mans own children. But still you thought it ok to joke around and not report. Wow.

The thread was unnecessary, PMs between the sex people would have spread the word. You were justifying the thread.

There’s some wronguns already here causing issues repeatedly.

Good point. I hadn't thought of from that perspective

More from angle the perspective of keeping underage users away from that type of content.

Mumsnet was fine for years without a sex topic. MNHQ said it wasn’t something they felt was right for mumsnet in threads right up until 2014/15 when they decided to have one.

Before this they said they didn’t want a ‘shed load of pervs’ on the site and that it would be a ‘troll magnet’.

TheBayTreeMurder · 16/04/2023 00:08

So you were fully aware of that thread then @Surplus2requirements as, despite being shocked it was there, you jokingly posted on it several times?

I thought you weren't interested in any sex type threads..

Well they were right about that, as it turned out.

I'm not interested in private sex chats. I am interested in many subjects across a variety of boards across MN.

As a life time supporter of rugby union I'll take any opportunity to take the mick out of rugby league.

Why are you making this personal?

But you were interested in a thread about analingus. Right.

An extremely popular thread about a cheating rugby league player, yes

Surplus2requirements · 16/04/2023 00:23

I brought up the rugby league thread as a consideration in a discussion about safe guarding and moderation and how those concerns may apply to MN as a whole.

I thought it might be constructive, why I'm being singled out from the probably thousands of MN users that read it is beyond me

I expect it's because the other thousands of people who've read it aren't on this thread, Surplus.

Your probably right. The question is does it have implications for safeguarding over the whole of MN?

I'm just going to sneak in here with this...

The sex board is visible to people who aren't logged in??? Im absolutely gobsmacked at that.

I'm trying to have a constructive conversation about moderation and safeguarding both of which I believe are important.

I am not a 'sex person' any more than I am a 'chat person' or a 'property and diy person'.

I am not on a side but believe that the sex board plays an important role and that safeguarding is important for many, primarily women and children.

I say that as a survivor now can we please stop thinking in terms of sides and discuss moderation and safeguarding which is far more important than petty personal squabbling* *
