Default ZuneBoards: After Dark

I posted this in one of the Staff Sections before in order to get the opinions of the Staff but I wish to know, how do all you members feel about this?

Now what I was thinking (keep in mind it's 2 in the Morning as I type this it may be all bull****) is maybe a new forum that sticks with the ZBAD formula.

Essentially a 18+ Forum.

I understand we had somethings like that before, but what I was thinking was something a little more tasteful rather then just Porn Discussion. For instance Neowin has something related to this (It's possibly a Premium Member feature I dunno) but it's centered around more 18+ Topics.

However they keep it clean but yet it's still NSFW at times and is kept tasteful.

I'd love to be able to have something like this since it's interesting and could amount to some fun discussion. I'll take full responsibility in case of anything as well, so if anything goes wrong blame me.

I'm for it. >.>
Of course, it'd have to heavily modded to keep immaturities down to a minimum. Maybe a sub-cat of serious discussions?

Well, I don't believe it'd actually be 18+, just the discussions being held would hold an adult theme. Members would have to be aware that the section's contents won't be suitable for those immature of mind.

And if I'm wrong,

I don't see why not. I mean, as long as we KNOW that the members are 18+. you know? But you really wouldn't be able to tell from the new members.

Imposing an age restriction seems rather futile.

I think it should be a 3 strikes and you're out kind of thing.
Every time you are immature or spam, it's a strike.

Get 3 of them and you are removed from the forum.

Personally, I think it would have to be highly moderated to prevent it from getting too... mature. If you know what I mean.

by that logic there could be no other sections, and the forum would be much more dead.

Moral moderator lol. I do think that this is a good thread to start but in addition to the 3 strikes rule I do feel as if we will need the 18+ rule as well. As it will allow us to weed out all of those who already claim that they are not 18+. Yes people can create a second account but that will get them banned within a few days.

There's no way to be sure that people are 18.

In any case, a persons age is not a very accurate may of determining their level of maturity.
