 Posted: Mon Aug 07, 2006 7:33 am Post subject: Post your ideas about rules for this forum |
 |
|
Thread topic change:
This is now the thread where other woman can discuss what they would like the rules to be for this forum so that there will be no arguments and confusion as to what's allowed.
Post your ideas here, about whether you want males to post, what sort of posts, whether this should be a forum related to womens issues etc.
It would be awfully hard to pull off "women only" so we'll have to revise a way of dealing with that sort of thing.
A message board with sensitive issues like this cannot function properley with stone set rules, so we must create some 
Males - if you want to contribute about males and their rights in here, feel free to do so.

[quote="hale_bopp"]This forum is for women's issues, but males are welcome to post.[quote]
Bopp, maybe you should discuss that with the other women before making such a declaration, and while you can't prevent anyone from reading, I think you can ask men not to post here with reasonable expectation that that request will be respected.

A good idea.
It would be cool if women suggested some ideas here so we can establish some stone set rules. |

Well, if you my two cents (I'm not sure if you've asked or not), I'm much more comfortable with guidelines than rules. Basically, people should not post in the other genders forum unless specifically invited to do so in a specific thread. Too many rules sometimes leads to more conflict. KISS. Keep It Short and Sweet, or, if you prefer, Keep It Simple, Stupid.

Well, in my opinion, the gender forums should be where we can post without members of the other gender posting unless specifically invited. And I personally, as I've mentioned, would prefer that if perspective/responses from the other gender is desired, that the thread be moved to the Mature forum and *out* of the gender specific forum.
In other words, this is a space for us to chat amongst ourselves.

| i think it might be difficult if you banned males from this page because sometimes when a new topic is posted and it shows up listed on the homepage, a males might click on it read it, and post a reply without realizing what forum its in. I know that i had seen one topic on the home page a couple days an then in the last few minutes i've been looking thru all the forums to find it. |

| The forum heading says its for women only but then you allow men to post. I think there should be a way of allowing only females to enter the forum. Otherwise what's the point. It seems like a lot of posts get interrupted by some juvenile male poster. And that's another point shouldn't children be kept out of here? |

| I think men should not be allowed in the womans forum because they only come in here to insult and put woman down. It makes it very hard for real woman (not men pretending to be woman) to discuss among themselves there issues and concerns. |

I think men should be allowed on here, but the ones that say idiotic things should be prohibited from commenting.
I mean something where they're locked out code wise.
Only way something like that could work. |

I second this. I'll be a bit more specific on the idiotic part. This would include guys who type in the women's forums just to start sh**. Hellznrg would be the first name that comes to mind. |

| Is 'no attempting to pick up chicks' acceptable? I'll not mention names and the inappropriateness of the thread, as I'm sure you are all quite capable of finding that yourselves. |

It should be more than acceptable since there already is a love and dating forum on this site. It doesn't help that Alex posted this http://www.wrongplanet.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=16535 in Women's discussion. |
