Okay so I read this the entire 20 pages of comments instead of eating lunch. And I am surprised that this thread is still open 😆. This is the best discussion I have seen in a while. Compared to others, I am still a relatively new member on IF. And more so, I am just a newbie.
Here is my opinion...
As per my information, if a person has a criminal record, they are not allowed to be a police officer or work for the law. I don't know the person...Hell I know no one in IF so nothing against the person. But if someone is breaking the rules, then they should not allowed to be "promoted". I agree that being respected for the hard work they do is nice, but questions will arise when the person who is likely to break the rules will take "care" of us. I think Coolbies are next in line to be Viewbies...I think...
MODs should unbiased people. They can't close threads just for the sake of it or because they don't "agree" to it. IF members should be allowed to post anything as long as they are not insulting or bashing anyone (Constructive criticism allowed). I don't know IF or any MODs so I am not viable to say anything but can't help myself. Its funny how some "fun" posts are opened yet the actually fun posts are closed.
I never knew about the 16+ rule but I know FOR SURE there are people who are in their early teens. You do know that people are still going to join even though they are younger??
How is saying the word SEX breaking the rules. Hell even kids these days say it. TV shows it and everything. Having some gutter fun lifts everyone's moods and threads should not be closed because of it.
My View...Time for class so cant type more
Cya All Laterzzz
