Renew Deal

OK, the fun's over [View all]

We really tried to cut you all some slack, and permit occasional, low-key discussion of topics of a sexual nature, provided that you don't go too far.

It's clear that this has become some kind of game for some of you: See how far you can push the envelope before you get your threads shut down.

Well, you've pushed the envelope too far. You're thumbing your nose at the moderators, and wasting their time. Game over.

Here's the new rule: No sex threads, period.

I am instructing the moderators to delete all sex threads. Not lock, delete. Anyone who feels like testing our willingness to enforce this policy will have to accept the consequences of their actions.

I'm sorry if you're disappointed by this turn of events. Blame the small number of people who can't control themselves and have spoiled it for everyone else."
