We ( the mods) have been wondering if the younger members of the forum would like an area of their own - the adults have the sewer which is over 18's only - would you like an under 18's area to chat, tell jokes, etc? We don't want anyone to feel they aren't welcome all over the board, the idea is to make you feel even more welcome by giving you your own space too. Suggestions for the name of the 'room' welcome too as are comments!

But if its youngsters only, older people could join pretending to be young just to speak to the real youngster and us wrinklies wouldn't be there to protect them. just me being an over-protective nan Back to top jaydee67 Moderator Joined: 14 Apr 2005 Posts: 4776 Location: Shetland Islands Posted: Sun Sep 09, 2007 7:10 pm    Post subject: That's why mods will be allowed access to supervise Jan.

Is it feasible to allow only the younger members to start threads but allow anyone to reply? Presumab;ly that would require another user group?

If so it should be youngers and mods only. (I haven't voted to say this though) Personally I think I'm too young for The Sewer Itsybitsy Back to top debcat Moderator Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 8259 Location: Isle of Lewis Posted: Sun Sep 09, 2007 9:28 pm    Post subject: the twins want to join as well now I'll never get on the computer Back to top Sue B Joined: 18 Oct 2005 Posts: 350 Location: Lincolnshire Posted: Sun Sep 09, 2007 11:01 pm    Post subject: What Magpie said Back to top stephen Site Admin Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 4882 Location: Billinge, Skåne, Sweden.

We can also make it so only the younger members can reply to them, also. The visibility and access tools in the forum software are quite flexible. jaydee67 wrote: Unless we block one mod in particular! What's Nigel done to offend you? jaydee67 wrote: That's why mods will be allowed access to supervise Jan. We would never put the children on this forum at risk. Indeed. Already, anyone under 13 has to get permission from their parent or guardian to join. We've been pretty good at policing access to the sewer and bar area.
