First off Steve doesn't like talking about the T-dome topics outside of the T-dome, so if you could avoid that it'd help. And yeah, the comment quoted by JK was OOC. We don't let ravenous things go in there such as blatantly perverted topics. But when you're discussing such subject matter that stuff is bound to pop up. That's why it's a request forum, some people don't want to see it and hence then can opt not to. And I will agree we need more topics in there that are though provoking beyond religion and sex. That's another matter though.
As for Dakota's…birthday thread. Yeah that started out fine but did kinda go downhill. Some of that really could have continued off in IM, but save maybe the last 5 or 6 posts it wasn't anything too bad.
In regards to modding, it's a shame if you disagree so strongly with someone being modded, but the senior staff unanimously agree on any staff that's promoted so you kinda have to trust us. The forums are generally clean and any serious violations are dealt with. Not always in public mind you, but they are. We're aware there's all kinds of age groups here and we try to cater to them all. But if you see something you think is breaking a rule or too suggestive, report it. PM a mod. See what they think. They'll be happy to either act on it or explain why they shouldn't.
