AB and moderators
I would appreciate some feedback on this idea for a forum or sub forum.
I belong to an American motorbike forum which in ways is very similar to this one with many similarities in personalities. They have a sub forum called the hotbox and you have to apply to gain access to it, therefore it keeps those that are easily offended safely away. It still gets moderated but the rules are relaxed up a little. Is it worth trialling?
Cheers
Ive actually thought about this before, a section that only "Forum Sponsors" can see which is a bit more relaxed in "some" ways.
However, I never went ahead with it as I never wanted this forum to turn into a place where people could abuse each other, not that it would be like that but the targeted audience for this website is males aged 20-40 so a separate private section was thought of for blokes to talk blokey things I guess....lol
Ah kinda like a "Pub" sub section on another forum I'm a member of. The only rule they have is what is said in the pub, stays in the pub. Good idea but people will still get their back up out of the sub forum and it will carry into the family forum. Very hard one to moderate I would think.
Need a NSFW sub section IMO. Where bewbs can be seen

Thanks guys, it sounds like we are on the same sheet of music. Moderating seems to be the hard bit.
I do not think that it would be such a good idea, as it will have to be moderated the same as the current one done to the fact that we will still get families viewing it as well.
It always great to see suggestions on how to improve our forum coming though.
How willthat effect the google rating. We also seen what happened to another trol forum that got a nasty virus from dodgy links etc
