[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2654003, member: 4235"] I suppose I'm for it, because I think it would lead to more or less what I really want anyway -- a GD with more relaxed rules and moderation. What would happen is that the "Adults Only" section would become the new GD, and the original GD would go by the wayside, as most people who frequent GD would probably prefer being able to discuss things a little more freely, and everyone else would want to be where the action is. It is no secret that our more "colorful" members make GD such an interesting place... like a bad wreck that you can't help but stare at :) ... and my guess is that most such members would make the Adult forum their new home. Of course you could save yourself all the effort and just relax things in GD a little. I personally don't care about porn (though a boob gif every now and again is nice), or being able to use ad hominems freely (I generally try to avoid debating at the level of an 8 year old), and I don't feel too stifled by the way language is currently moderated; but I would very much like to be able to freely discuss certain topics that I believe to be of grave importance to the future of this country that are currently off limits, like the threat to freedom posed by police misconduct. If supplanting GD with some sort of "opt in" forum is the only way to make this happen, I suppose I'm for it. [/QUOTE]
