A 18+ fourm?

I wasnt trying to make fun of your vocab dude. I just wanted to make sure you meant infractions. I woulda been insulted if you had accused me of having fractions. Fractions are the worst.

Can you PM the video? Im really curious as to what it was now lol

vid sent, it was honestly a really funny vid. If i would have posted somthing like "hey if u want to see a really funny video about ball pythons but it has swear words in it just pm me" would i have still gotten in trouble?

[Mike41793]

Lmao that was hilarious!

Uh, i dont think you would have gotten in trouble for that but im not positive.

So the QT room is kind of useless? I have permission to get in, but never really participated there. I thought the whole point waS a "free for all" type of place.

[irishanaconda]

i didnt think so either, but i did lol. Live and learn!

While I didn't even watch the video as my connection is too slow to bother with vids, plus the issue was dealt with. I agree that these rules are needed. While I am not highly religious I still do not like to see blasphemy as one person did maybe on page 1 (I'm on my phone and its teious to go look exactly where)

There are all sorts of different people here with one common interest - ball pythons and reptiles in general and the site aims to keep everyone happy and unoffended. So to exclude swearing is a minor inconvenience in order to respect those who do not wish to see it.

Looks like you already have access - it's a sub forum of Off Topic.

I'd like to point out that the QT room is not "useless" simply because it's not a free-for-all 18+ sort of environment. It's where people can talk about hot-button issues like religion or politics...where folks can rant about idiocy in Craigslist ads or YouTube vids...where folks can bicker and argue among themselves without their messes littering up the public forums. Our standard rules are slightly relaxed in there....if a curse word happens to slip out in normal conversation or an argument, you won't get dinged for it. If a thread spirals out of control with over-the-top cursing and/or name-calling, then a staff member may step in and tell folks to cool it...THEN you'll get infracted for cursing in QT.

But still, videos full of curse words are NOT allowed there, even though the rules for basic conversation are somewhat relaxed. If you would need to label a video NSFW (not safe for work) then it is not appropriate for BP.net.

It's not a matter of what I personally find offensive OR what I find to be humorous. It's a matter of keeping the entire site appropriate for members of all ages, and keeping it a place where parents can feel safe allowing their kids to browse.

There are places all over the Internet where one can engage in 18+ activities and conversations. And it's not even that difficult or expensive to simply make your own place that will suit all your needs and wants perfectly. Create a reptile-centered forum with absolutely no censorship or content-related rules. It might be a big hit. In the meantime, BP.net will continue to do what it does, in the manner that we've chosen to do it. It's worked out well for us, so far.
