Marc Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Hi All, We have been having some discussions regarding the rules of the chatroom and have decided that we will no longer be allowing the access of users under the age of 16 to this area. We have come to this decision as this is primarily used late at night by the adult members of the forum and we would like to generally take a more liberal attitude toward the rules we have in place within this area. Therefore as of now there will be no limitation on language that can be used within this area of the forum. This does not remove any other ruling regarding the chatroom and anyone using foul language to flame another member will be treated harshly and should expect as much the same as you would on the forum. Although these rules have now been relaxed, please can I ask you to use a little common sense. We have not removed them for it to be a running joke. Regards, Husky Owners Staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kroush Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Why don't you add a second chat room for those, say, 13-17 or whatever age range, separate from the adult chat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 This was my idea guys so enjoy it and please dont make me wish I not done it Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proximity Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 This was my idea guys so enjoy it and please dont make me wish I not done it Enjoy Worst case scenario is that you can be sure the only 'grooming' going on under your watch is purely husky related. Not a bad position to be in Keath, for any browsing that I don't want appearing on my (government) work logs, I VNC back to my home computer and browse from there. Is something like that a possibility for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Spider_Crazy_Removed Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 TBH I think I liked the rules as it was clean, please bring them back i as im happy with my [ops iv got a potty mouth] in place of swearing and the cleanness. Peter EDIT: Why not try a young peoples chatroom or make it all age untill like 8pm when the more potty mouth language comes in, I dont know how many under 16's we have but speaking for the young voice I feel its excluding owners children.

Sorry Peter but we are all adults. There cannot be a timed chatroom as we are not a UK only forum, we are worldwide and since there are massive differences in time this simply would not work. In answer to the excluding members children, I currently have 2 on the site and they are also being excluded from the chatroom facility. There are extremely few member of that age. Lemme put it in context:- Under 16 Members in Total: 31 Under 16s who have ever used the forum: 12 Of which has logged on in the past month: 5 Of which have logged on in the past week: 1 Under 16s who have posted or used the chatroom in the past month: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dygosamikita Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I honestly think this is an excellent decision....well done you lot. BUT......I personally wouldn't lift the no swearing. We are all intelligent enough (well most of us) to be able to talk freely and in the same vein (filth) that tends to happen in the chatroom, without the swearing. Believe me I swear like a sailor and think nothing when swearing in conversation as I treat swearing as any other word. But there are people who may want to join in the filth of the chatroom but find effing and blinding a bit much. Just my humble opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
