[URGENT] Threads on distasteful topics in the Lounge. Please vote your opinion

[aaronng]

Hi all,
We the mods really need to get your opinion on this urgent issue. Due to the recent rise in number of threads on topics with either distasteful topics (brothel thread) or on topics which lead to distasteful spam and arguments (homo pole), we need your votes on this issue.

Some members like Type S Tony said to close the whole lounge altogether. In my opinion, having a lounge is a great thing because you can ask about all sorts of issues and get opinions from people in the know (for example, the passport validity thread). So instead of closing the Lounge, I would like for you all to vote on whether we should disallow threads with questionable topics. Questionable topics would include:
- What drug do you prefer to do?
- Which brothel is best?
- Do you donkey/falcon punch?

You know, the type of topics that have illegal discussion or generate many complaints from members through the post reporting function.

those are just stupid
vote no for all

closing the lounge is a very hard thing to debate
it may solve the prob
it may not

our lounge is on par with all other forums honda tech etc
but our technical section isnt as big as others because of our small size

Yup, that is why instead of closing the lounge, I would prefer that we stop the stupid threads. Keeping the lounge open is what I prefer.

Don't worry about the technical section. In this poll, it is only about the lounge.

Even though I don't drive a Honda I have a little blurb..

I think its fine to have this level of moderation in the forum, even within the Lounge thread. The topics started by some are offensive and even the ones that are started tastefully are bombarded by spam (eg. Nikki's hotmail issue).

I'm not sure what has happened, but I believe the level of respect members have for one another has depreciated throughout my years on this forum.

Some people have to be reminded that this is a "family friendly" forum, and the content has to be monitored. Just imagine a child was to click in on the "brothel thread" reading material that they shouldn't even be exposed to, its appalling, and to think that the thread lasted so long is beyond me.

From a personal perspective if the Lounge thread wasn't open I would reconsider visiting the ozhonda forum, as I am no longer a Honda owner..

Hopefully this is constructive.

I voted YES to stopping all these rubbish threads and to making this forum a more appealing place to the majority of people out there.

The Brothel Thread was very informative, It saved me $30 one night!

[Red_EG4]

Yes, however the line between an acceptable thread and a bad threads needs to be clear.

[Type S Tony]

if the brothel thread was such a bad thread why did it recieve 6000+ views in the matter of 2 days??

Thats what puzzles me... I'm surprised it stayed open for so long.
