Request for a Mature forum

Given the recent posting of a very graphic video that was considered in poor taste by many members, would it be a good idea to create a new forum category for starting these mature topics?

It would preferably be hidden from guests and include specific warnings and additional policies to avoid degrading into gratuitous depictions of sex or violence.

As long as the tags are in use, I don't see much need for an additional segregation?



It may seem unlikely at a forum such as this, but once you have a "sandpit" set aside for this sort of thing, well, it becomes our own little slice of 4chan right here where people may get carried away under the cover of "well it's the mature area, so what's wrong?"

(on the upside it might boost traffic....)


There's my....oh let's say a hapenny.

"Request for a Mature forum"

Yeah, that'll end well xD

I know your intentions are good, but even with mods that's going to be a big hairy mess real fast.

Good luck

Mature? Do you mean adolescent!?

In regards to violence, if it's awareness, then the imagery is not required here to achieve awareness.

If its learning, I still personally do not see a need. But one of my favorite hobbies was recreating software simulations of real life aircraft accidents (most usually fatal) so the circumstances could be run through to understand the breakdown in procedure ie the evolution of human error into tragedy. Or what sort of corrective actions might have had different impacts. It's bit dark but learning from others mistakes could be seen as a possible part of community....

... so for violence, like sex, I dunno if its relevant enough here to justify. Remembering the purpose of this particular community.

I don't think an additional subforum would be appropriate, just as I found the original post inappropriate.

There's a whole internet out there already, much of which is for stuff like this. One of the reasons I come here, when I do come here, is for a break from that kind of stuff.

A Temple is and should remain a spiritual refuge, in my opinion.

Depictions of that kind of violence should come with a warning, and moderators have added that warning. That gives one the option of engaging or not. Mischief managed.

Death and violence are real and should be confronted with respect both for the facts at hand and the victim in this particular case. I suspect she never asked to be a show. That said, I do believe confronting death in a sober and respectful way has a great deal to teach us.

In terms of a Mature forum, one would hope that this would be unnecessary, as Jedi should comport themselves that way anyway, a little fun aside. It would be a shame if the rest of the forum became a defacto immature forum. There is a whole rest of the internet for that. I respect your intentions, but I think a better strategy would be to mind one's behavior set a better example.
