I have never personally given any infraction for language so as far as I am concerned this site is pretty leaneant (sp).
The fact is that reptile keeping is far from only and adult hobby. I started keeping them when I was 11 as I was allergic to dogs. The ability to have a place that I liked going to AND that would have had parental approval would have saved many of my pets in the early years.
Seems better to prevent such language and subject matter problems then to keep picking at them after the ball already starts rolling. As Brandon said....there is plenty of space for PM's  |
it is easy to ensure. you set up and adult usergroup, and an adult section. set the permissions where only the adult usergroup can see that section and closely monitor who you allow into the adult usergroup.
