I have gone onto some other sites and noticed that they have a separate section that is unmoderated for members who want to talk about subjects that may be risky or taboo to some.........
subjects such as politics, religion and sexuality.
They put these topics in a forum and name it something like the 'shark tank 'The name kind of speaks for itself.
The reason why i think it would be a good idea is because many of these topics are subject to judgement and I don't think it is fair to the mods or the members to let these subjects be monitored.
That way people can feel more at ease chatting about some possible off topics and it frees up valuble mod time.
Its just an idea or suggestion.Don't hate me for it.
Damn girl------You need to join a sex-forum or something!!!

IF I 'wanted' to do 'that' I would have by now.
I just thought it would be good to have subjects that are so diverse and opinionated topics that it would not be fair to ask a moderator to step in. How can one moderate that fairly for everyone? Its absolutely impossible for 'us' as humans to not be judgmental no matter how hard to try. Its just ain't happenin. Sp how can an individual be neutral about such topics?
A few times I have accidentally posted in the politics section and it is brutal in there. Members are constantly attacking one another but if it is not a topic of interest to a mod then it isn't moderated. If the topic is of interest then it becomes moderated. Since everyone of us has our own unique personality and character with difference lifestyles, different personal experiences, how can one be involved without having their own opinion? You can't.
I have noticed religion is not moderated. That is another topic that gets really heated. When a religious topic is brought up each one of us has our own ideas and beliefs. These topics can get very nasty and heated.
I don't often find threads about sexuality heated with anger but it is not like a hang out in that section of the forum either. BUT this topic is unde the same scrunity as the other topics.
Or what about spirituality? What if one does not believe in life after dealth and others do? Why should these topics even need to be moderated? What about science fiction or people who believe in u'f'o's?
And more importantly, how can they be done fairly? I honestly don't think it can be.
I did not start this thread as any kind of criticism towards the site or the mods and certainly don't want to chat about sex all day.
so sorry but I did not understand your comment at all.

Hey Lacy, There are unmoderated threads on here. Unless there are personal attacks, that is when a mod steps in.

It's been my impression that the politics section is a free-for-all. A 'shark tank' if you will.
I would much prefer a warning system where 5 different warnings from different users (or any arbitrary number of warnings) on one post merits a second look by the Mods.

It was just a suggestion. If 5 does not do it for you, please note I also said any ARBITRARY number would suffice. Simply a system designed to notify the MFIC of a possible problem.Ok thanks chiceh. I did not know that.

This is what I was told. In that area (Cannabis Cafe) we are only pulled in if there is a problem and have been pm'd about it. It is up to us as moderators what we want to do. So I guess it depends on the mod and how they want to deal with it. If there is personal attacks, threats or abuse though, that is not allowed here at all in any threads or posts.

Thanks, I still can't rep you after the last one, sorryBTE chiceh. I just wanted to add that I think the idea of you as a female mod here is awesome. We really needed a female moderator and to have one that is also Canadian ROCKS!
I am proud of you gurl. You have the perfect personality for the role.
You is doing a f-i-n-e job.
oops
. I hope I am doing a good job, let me know if I am not, lol. YouTube - The Show Must Go On (Pink Floyd: The Wall)
In The Flesh (Waters) 1:36
So ya
Thought ya
Might like to
Go to the show.
To feel that warm thrill of confusion,
That space cadet glow.
I've got some bad news for you sunshine,
Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
We're gonna find out where you folks really stand.
Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me,
Get him up against the wall!
That one looks Jewish!
And that one's a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There's one smoking a joint,
And another with spots!
If I had my way,
I'd have all of you shot!
