Regarding the Sexuality Board

[Dave Herald]

Whether you posted in that forum or not, it's now permanently gone.

Recently we found out that a couple of other Proboards were shut down due to similar sexual content, much like that of which we had in our Sexuality forum. Content that violates the TOS and if left up, could very possibly get us shut down as well.

So to ensure that from happening, we had no choice but to take that particular board down.

We're extremely sorry for any inconveniences this might cause, but it's for the best.

Any questions or concerns regarding this can be PM'd to either myself or any member of the Admin team, and we will do our best to help you out.

I completely understand. I believe that Moon Cafe was deleted for the same reason. hpluto.proboards2.com

^Yep, it is my understanding Moon Cafe and Herstory have been deleted due to having sexual content that violates the TOS. We all just need to work to make sure that this does not happen on this board.

You know, I never thought it was a crime to talk about sex... guess I was wrong...

[Spazmatikal]

wow. that sucks. it feels like such censorship to have the board taken down because of that :/

[VanilleRum]

yes it seems like censorship! I use to go on Mooncaffe all the time. I can belive that they are taking it away becasue people were talking about sex. What is the big deal anyway. I agree with whoever Said "I didn't realize it was a crime to talk about sex."

/\ Moon Cafe' Two is up and running!


It wasn't that Moon Cafe and other boards were just was deleted, it was that the boards were deleted suddenly and without warning. One day there, one day gone!

In fairness, there's only a few people who actually own Proboards, and the slightest things or sayings can get you into alot of trouble these days. Some utterances can be misinterprested as unsolicited sex. Picture a scenario where a 52 year old pedophile comes on and starts flirting with the girls. He gets in trouble, but the owners of Proboards would also be held responsible. Is it fair? Probably not. Wise, right, censorship, or covering one's ass?

We live in a society where someone can sue you for wearing the wrong color pants because it causes them mental stress. But what else can you do, what would you do if in the same situation?

^ I still dont see how proboards would be responsible for a pedophile harassing anyone on a board. It could happen anywhere on the net.



I worked hard on my boards for a year, I had over 500 members and proboards deleted it without warning. One reason was for not deleting a discussion about oral sex. Which I think is complete bull. I dont see anything wrong with discussing sexuality, its completely normal.

Once you break the TOS and they find out about it, they will not give your board back.

I agree, but it all comes down to the owners, and frankly, they can do what ever they want, and we have no real say in it. Maybe the Sexuality board really wasn't a big deal, but someone thought it was, so here we are.

God, havnt they ever heard of freedom of speech?
