I'm still cross you know.
I don't actually want to create more work for MNHQ you know and am sorry that it already has with people emailing you directly to say they don't want a sex topic. Interestingly, only 2 people said that on here and nobody on the other thread I started. So, having no idea what they said, I can only respond with 'no they didn't, it isn't like that and they're all wrong'.
I genuinely don't see the attracting weirdies thing. Because of everything I already said. They're here anyway, this isn't a weirdy topic it's a genuine topic for consenting women who are old enough to be able to talk about sex with each other but sensitive enough to understand that perhaps others don't want to see it or it isn't necessary to splash it across the entire website.
And I know bugger all about internet law and procedure but it does strike me that if having a dedicated topic means that you have to add filters then aren't we in a strange loophole here? Because the threads are already there, the content is already sexual and graphic, yet we don't warn for it atm. And I've never had an adult content warning for Netmums and they have the topic. It's a bleak day when they are more progressive than we are.
It is ridiculous that we can start threads with whatever profanities we like, describe whatever sexual scenarios we like, link to any old image we choose to but somehow it's the putting in its own topic that is problematic.
What if it was 'Sex, health and contraception' like Netmums? Because actually there are oodles of contraception threads too, as well as sexual health threads. Would the amalgamation make it more acceptable to you? Journalists less likely to titter about a dedicated sex topic if they could see it was a serious topic that pertains to us all. Which is what it would be.
And oh but magnate was the only typo. I was going to start a new thread campaigning for members to be immediately banned as soon as one post contains more than 3 spelling or grammatical errors but we'd have to lose our dear leader and the esteemed cdo (sic).
