You must be misunderstanding, I was present and not reading some logs I have no desire or ability, that I know of, to access. Being mindful and having even a minute amount of respect for ourselves and others goes pretty far, even in a chatroom. My point is that if anything goes by way of speech and links to imagery and the consensus is that forum rules do not apply to the forum's chatroom, then why the need to create and enforce rules for practices in the chatroom on the same forum that discusses them?

Hi & welcome to the bums

Reading this, the phrase, "God's gift to women" comes to mind. Somehow, I do not think that this the whole truth of it.

Of course we do, and bowing out of the conversation when things get uncomfortable is the thing to do lest we add to the juvenile, pompous behaviors by laughing it up about chocolate molded male genitalia, complete with links to photos. This forum does not condone the use of graphic or sexual imagery and I do not see how chat should be any exception. You might be correct in saying that chat will never be moderated in real time, however, there is a big push for some form of moderation, and one person's concern is no greater than another's. Let us not forget the founding principles of this forum. Anyway, I hope the future of the chatroom is decided upon with benevolence, precision and grace, sooner rather than later. This fiasco has gone on long enough.

It can get downright uncomfortable at times with the juvenile sexual innuendo. But of course, when it is done by the good ol' boys it is all no harm and no foul.

I do believe dawei has been investigating this approach, in some form, ever since we (admin, mods & members) had the discussion in chat about its use.

Yes. There were arguments against the chatroom being monopolized through structure of any kind for anything other than chat.

We had a discussion in chat several weeks ago and I brought up this idea with the few who were present. The consensus was that it was not a good idea. Perhaps brainstorming with a broader group will lead to new ideas.
