I would like to make a request and start a petition of sorts, for an "Adult Section". This section will not be "x-rated" or contain any type of pornographic or overtly sexual material. Perhaps it could be called "Between US". It will simply be a place to safely and freely (candidly) discuss adult matters in a more private or restricted area of the site. These topics would include (but is not limited to) the following: Motherhood, Personal Relationships, Feminine Health Matters, Mental illness, Death/Dying, etc.

This section would have guidelines for access (i.e. combination of membership length and number of posts, age restriction, etc), and would have strict "Respect" rules where certain online behavior would lead to removal from the section. This new section is not mean to be divisive, but rather, allow those with a more common goal to have a place to dicuss issues among other discerning adults.

I know that there are already sections somewhat similar to the topics I've previously mentioned. However, these topics are often inundated with cyber bullies and the likes, that intimidate others and stifle the members from sharing worthwhile information. Some members like the drama, bickering, unnecessarily mean posts, locked threads, or other various debauchery. However, there are many of us that yearn for the deeper, perception-changing threads that are far and few inbetween, because the environment is not always ideal for sharing at that level.

With the "Between Us" section, the more serious posters that want to learn (i.e. grow) from the experiences and knowledge of such a diverse
group of women, will have this possibility.

Anyhow, this is simpy an idea. So ladies, please vote and post "Yes" or "No" if you agree/disagree with my proposal. This way, perhaps the LHCF admin can determine if there's even a real interest.


Thanks.

How would this be different than the previous board for Xrated discussion? I think it had all those things you mentioned.

I voted No. We already have a Motherhood board, a Relationship board, and a Health/Fitness board, even a Natural Living board that deals with health... and all those other topics you listed fall under the Off Topic board. And the majority of women here are adults so I don't see why we need a private/restricted board for certain adult members. :perplexed

Yes.

I think it's great b/c it'd be a "safe"/respectful place, seperate from the other off-topic stuff.

I voted yes because there are certain topics that many people want to discuss but just don't know where to post or if the topics are acceptable to post on the other forums.

It's not going to happen...we had that years ago and it was closed and we were informed that it will never be resurrected.

It is what it is.

I voted Yes, for this exact same reason.
Even if it never comes to pass, maybe they will give it consideration.

@Incongnitus, Could you achieve something similar using a group? It can be moderated and people would have to join? Just an option.

I think it would be helpful to have an "Anonymous" user posting. You have to be logged in, only the mods know it's you. But you can choose to post and respond Anonymously.

What about that?

I voted yes. This would be great to have a place where it is like talking to your best friend without the criticism!

The problem with that is that people will use it to be passive aggressive. That always turns to drama on every other site I've seen.

I think it would be great, but I don't see any of this happening. Thanks for the idea OP.
