Folks:
We have a problem, the solution to which which we need to consider. Some of you will have noticed that we've renamed the 'Less clean jokes" topic, which we did because we felt that some of the jokes were not simply 'less clean', but actually too explicit. However, this hasn't resolved the issue, for reasons which I'll explain.
The forum is accessible to Google and is also able to be read by non-members. One consequence of that is that RSS feeds can and do pick up the latest postings and display them on any site to which we have been linked. As a forum, this is good for us, as it encourages folk to join. However, when explicit comments from here appear on someone's blog, say, then the effect can be to deter potential members from joining, which is clearly not what we want.
There's also the problem that we can't make the 'Less Clean jokes' topic totally removed from the forum, and another factor is that those of you who have children or grandchildren don't want to have to close down the computer every time they're around.
While I accept we're all adults in here (AFAIK) I think we might have to consider carefully about the image we want to project.
What's the general feeling on that?
