MATURE CHAT

I personally am getting tired of "controversial" subjects booted out of Chat A/B because some people find them unsettling.



I am suggesting a Controversial chat so that we can talk about more "adult" themes without getting shushed. "Adult themes" does not mean sexual content [as that's kinda best hidden in the adult section of the forum] but things like taxidermy, roadkill, outdoor cats, unfixed animals, etc etc are all things that are NOT 18+/ADULT but keep getting shushed in Chat when nobody is getting out of control just because the younger players don't like talking about it. I can see it having the same type of rules as Chat A/B with no swearing and if it turns into an argument, it can be sent to the debate board.. but I just hate not being able to talk about things like the above because there are children around.



If someone doesn't like talking about gore or hunting, they are 100% free to go back to Chat A or B and leave the rest of us to talk about this kind of thing maturely.



Support? Why or why not?

What do you mean? You mean discuss whether or not hunting is bad? That would be more suitable for Debate board

I don\'t mean be upset and stop talking about it because it upsets me, as it doesn\'t really faze me even though I disagree because I have friends who hunt and what not, but I mean discuss the different sides of different topics.

<i>Using your hunting example I strong disagree with hunting, so if someone were to start a discussion would I be allowed to disagree in a mature fashion?</i><br /> If hunting is an upsetting topic for you, you are free to leave the chat. Other users should not have to stop a normal discussion in mature chat [if it were implemented] because someone finds it upsetting. That is the point of mature chat.

I support if one was still allowed to disagree as long as they are mature. Using your hunting example I strong disagree with hunting, so if someone were to start a discussion would I be allowed to disagree in a mature fashion?

Support :D I think it would be very useful.

I should mention that this chat would not be a place to say things like `I just shot a raccoon in the face!!` but things like `I just went hunting with my dad and shot a nice buck` without someone going `I HATE HUNTING!!`

Jingle, it`s not really. Currently we aren`t allowed to talk in chat about hunting, not letting animals roam, taxidermy, roadkill-taxidermy, death, pit bulls, etc because people get so <i>deeply upset</i> about these topics. Having a chat where we can go and talk about roadkill-taxidermy or the death of a pet without having someone saying `MY GRANDMA IS UPSET OVER THIS TOPIC!` and a mod shutting it down.

Support!<br /> Perhaps instead of a 18+ chat, just a warning like \\\'this chat may contain mature content\\\'<br /> <br /> Clay\'s response above is exactly how I feel.<br /> This would also prevent other players from feeling uncomfortable with certain topics that others thoroughly enjoy discussing.
