I've posted a couple topics on here, that were subsequently closed because their nature is not suitable for children. They weren't sexual, but they were dealing with materials that children cannot purchase.

So, I am suggesting that a forum for more mature topics be created, as a part of this board, not necessarily the 'other chat' board, but as a part of the PokeCommunity. This way we can discuss topics related to pokemon that children should not necessarily be exposed to.

I don't want to seem threatening, but the absence of one really speaks to me, that the PokeCommunity does not wish to have adults present. If one isn't made, I'm not going to hang out. I want to talk to other fans of pokemon who happen to be adults. If that's not going to happen here, then I'll see you.

Hm ... why not talk about the PG-rated stuff on the forum, and reserve the more adult natured conversations for PMs, or Instant Messengers? Majority of the members here are probably not accustomed, or interested, in that type of conversation. And even if you did make a thread like that, I'm sure some of the naughty little buggers would still sneak a peek. I know I would. XD

Well perhaps it would be a small community, but I can't just PM every adult person on the forum with a mature based question. I'm not necessarily talking about the 'lack' of adult topics, I'm talking about the inability whatsoever to post adult topics.

Wow, you really seemed determined.

To tell you the truth, I can't really think of topics that are mature and poke'mon related except for "Ash is Gay" or something weird about the Poke'mon breeding center.

It's not that poke'community dosen't want adults present, it's just that poke'mon can't easily made into mature topics and most of all, poke'mon was made for kids over 7. What possible reason would poke'community need to add a mature poke-ralted topic section? That kids on PC would go into and look at anyway?

It wouldn't be secure if it was just put in the forums, and members underage would look through it. And if you put it into a secure place, Young members would find it anyways and still look at whatever topics adult members would think of.

I meen, as I type I already would know where are some possible locations could be anyways. You see, if a 11 year-old can find it, how could it be secure to just mature members?!

...

And what the heck topics would you think would be mature and poke'mon realated?! It's poke'mon for god's sake!

Well, what you're saying inspires me a little bit.
Pokemon actually does deal with some mature themes, like if you were to breed a pokemon with the pokemon that bore it.
That's fairly mature.
I think so is catching wild pokemon and forcing them to battle other pokemon.
Even in the show, in Japan they have cultural influences that are not allowed to be shown in America because 4kids feels that the themes may be too mature.

Another thing I get from your post, is that you're right, kids of all ages would be able to get to it, if they really wanted to. But those same kids would probably find that their time is better spent looking for adult topics on different, more explicit websites.
And that most of those websites filters are just as strong as the ones that would be made here.

So, after looking at your view, it makes me think why should we censor anything at all? It's not like they wouldn't be able to view it anyway.

I know this is kind of off topic, just had to say it, that annoys me that they show episodes of the show in Japan that they don't in America, American kids are just as mature as japanese kids! ok well thats all I had to say, back to the subject

well I'm sure many people could come up with mature topics about pokemon... but I'm just not interested, I'll stick with the non-mature stuff
That's fine, I don't want to make any one see something they're not ready to see. That's why an adult forum would have it's place.

Inspire?!

WTF?! that was not the point!
you see, you don't get the post!

although,
Some soccer moms think poke'mon cannot be exposed to children because they think that the show is purly based on kids puting animals anganst thier will to battle and give them porformance-inhancing drugs. But poke'mon cannot be put into mature themes that easily.

tell me 10 threads that could possibly be put into that forum.

I know, I'm not even a little kid or anything, I just like pokemon for the lighthearted nature of it, I could care less whether there is an adult forum or not

As Amachi mentioned, we did have the T-Dome. It degraded into a hotbed of flaming and bigotry, among other things. Not really the best results from the experiment. There are other places online to discuss "adult" Pokémon themes.


"One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts."
Albert Einstein

"What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative than mathematics."
Benjamin Franklin

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show."

A while back, such a forum was created, called the T-Dome.

Didn't work out as planned, and it's not likely to be revived either :<

And besides, there are plenty more "mature" members around these parts who don't seem to have any issues with the lack of "adult" topics.
After 2 attempts....

Sadly, most mature members left the forum. ;o;

от_Ian, it's a pokemon forum. Each forum is different.

Well, it wouldn't just be limited to discussion of pokemon. and if I could come up with ten threads that could be on there, then I'd probably get kicked for spamming it.

But I mean, you guys have so many 'other' threads, an adult one would be suitable too, so we could talk about M rated games, or Roleplaying that isn't as cute as the current threads. Some that involve maybe rocky horror picture type of stuff.
You know what I mean?
But it seems so far that I'm the only one who's fighting for it. Maybe this thread just needs more time and publicity.

You can talk about M Rated games in Other Games.

There's a difference in talking about Resident Evil or God of War or Manhunt, or even talking about the morality of drinking/smoking/drugs/porn/whatever. But topics like "What do you smoke?" or "What do you drink?" or "I think game companies should give away free cigarettes and pot with games." are totally different and really not acceptable on many forums, especially Pokemon forums.

Well, what if I were to talk about 'what brand do you think Solid Snake Smokes' in the other games forum?
I think it's a little wrong to say that mature themes aren't allowed in one thread because people of all ages visit the forum, and then allow them in another thread, totally ignoring what you were saying a minute ago.

yea, I agree with that, there are some things that can be discussed that are more mature, and others that shouldn't, it's a balance

I would have to ask you why you came to a Pokemon forum if you're obsessed with talking about tobacco and alcohol then. >>
I'm not obsessed, my feathers are just a little ruffled because I was having a pretty good conversation going on with people I haven't met before that was ended abruptly because apparently it was inappropriate. But If I was talking about how much blood comes out when Leon from RE4 is cut in half, you wouldn't bat an eye.

I mean, really, is smoking/drinking worse than violence to that extreme? If so, I'll go to your house and I'll show all kinds of displays of violence in front of your home. Because you're basically telling me, that violence is ok at any age, because the government only condones drinking/smoking when you're older.

Dude. Give it up. Threre isnt enough support for that here. We tried it and failed and lost valued members because there was too much flaming.
At first, I enjoyed the T-dome.
But as time marched on, it degraded rapidly. It turned from a good place to discuss hot topics like abortion and such to a place where people openly expressed their hatred. Many people were offended and left PC. I dont know how many time I saw my friends under fire. It wast pretty
There was much racism and anti-[insert your religion here]ism. There was also many 'I hate [insert member]' or '[insert vulgar phrase] [insert member] threads as well.
No one here who experienced the T-dome will ever want to see it again. Especially not the Staff members that were in power during it's life. I know I dont.
I agree with Amachi. I'm 19 and I still love pokemon and I certainly dont mind the lack of 'mature topics'
Sure, It means I have less to reply to but Overall it allows me to spend more time focusing on what I enjoy most. Seriously if you want to discuss mature topics then make some friends and Discuss it via PM. or even MSN.

What you're discussing is lack of moderation. I'm for adult themed topics, but not hate.
