OK, answer: Maybe Hard to predict any better than that at this point. Though I notice that the poll has ticked up to 3:1 against...Ok I set it down. XD

True that. You just never know.OK, answer: Maybe Hard to predict any better than that at this point. Though I notice that the poll has ticked up to 3:1 against...
Yeah, I expect this is gonna be a 3-6 day tantrum, it'll get spanked for most of that period, and not long after, we'll hear no more from this particular specimen as it slinks away with its tail curled tightly between its legs.True that. You just never know.
Thats actually what made me laugh when I voted. It reveals the results and I had a nice chuckle.
Not sure what this guy expected but I don't think it was that.
?How many roads, must a man walk down, before you can call him a man...?Sounds to me like you want to create what some would call an echo chamber. You can delete posts you dont like, and you get to decide whose points of conversation are included on your chosen topic.
Is that facism or totalitarianism I smell brewing?
Don't worry I don't include you types to my general low opinion, I'm all for live let live, just the types we're discussing I enjoy when they stomp in and make a scene.FTM piping up in here... I do not care, because first and foremost this is a zoo forum. Not everyone is going to like the same content. Not everyone is comfortable or attracted to certain body types, biological sexes, genders, species, etc. And that's okay. Preferences exist. Some people don't want to see trans content, and that's OKAY! Just like some people don't want to see dog content or horse content. It's ALL OKAY.
I'm really getting tired of the trans community trying to dictate how people should feel about transgender bodies. It's a two way street. I see this as an unnecessary temper tantrum that's only going to do more harm to the trans community and it's fight to gain acceptance and tolerance. This is the type of shit that makes my education efforts 1000 times harder. Please... Stop.
We have a section dedicated to us. It is a good compromise that includes us, while also respecting the preferences of others. This isn't like the bathroom battle, since nothing is being witnessed or viewed, just go do your business and get out like everyone else. But here, this forum has accepted that we exist, while also accepting that it's not everyone's cup of tea. And that's okay. If you don't like how a place is run, then... don't stay.
I have a ton of issues with a lot of the opinions shared on this forum, but I don't go looking for it. People can accept that we exist without having to be exposed to every aspect. Respect a forum's rules, or just don't be a part of it. Having civil discussion about the rules is one thing, it's another to go completely off the walls over them and try to get drastic changes that just alienates literally everyone, myself and other trans individuals. In the end, this is a forum, and when you make a post, you're going to get opinions that you don't like. If it's something against the rules, report it. If not, ignore it or block that user and move on.
Now, can there be improvements? Sure. Could the trans exclusive forums be made a subsection of the male/female areas? Sure. But I'm not about to piss and moan and rock a boat that isn't even mine if it isn't done to my liking. Please, stop making the trans community look bad, and understand that not every place has to bend to transgender wants and needs. The simple fact of the matter, we are still trans, and we still have differences that not everyone enjoys or wants to see. And again, that's okay. There's a space for us when the staff didn't even have to bother including us at all. Would I like to see the transgender area organized better? Yes. But we all need to pick our battles more wisely, because this shit ain't it.
So, instead of addressing some of the concerns people raised about your suggestion, you make a passive-aggressive remark.It is comical how the use of one word has lit afire such drum beating by the crowd... R-I-G-H-T-S... LMAO....jump on that low lying fruit I left there for you....LOL
They do have that right, before posting. Once you post in a public forum, be it internet or a crowded sidewalk, you do not get to decide who gets to voice an opinion. Doing so is called censorship and runs contrary to public discourse, free thought, and the freedom to express opinions and arguments. Be reminded, freedom of speech does NOT protect an individual's popular opinions, rather, it is there to protect unpopular or offensive thoughts and opinions.I can see your point, but does the OP not have the right to keep unwanted opinions off of their thread. If the opinionated reply deem it necessary, they can always post a separate thread with their own opinion.
This is actually not what this would do if it is implemented. There will be no change to the software of the forum.You can delete posts you dont like
So here are some points where this could go wrong which I pointed out in the dumpster fire also:There's no possible way that this could go wrong, that's sarcasm by the way.
No.
Too many variables to even consider, and if it was even possible. Still no. Mods would still remove it either way without the OP's consent if it violates the rules anyway.
Hallelujah!!!!!!! Another one with comprehension! I'm feeling less and less lonely by the minuteThey do have that right, before posting.

A decent amount, see above.How much additional work / stress / time consumed would this add to mods
Again. Porn only. Otherwise this is a public forum.reported posts of users get removed, because out of thin air they don't like those in their own echo chamber?
It would, it is the same thing. Nothing in the software or user privileges is changing.Wouldn't the existing “report” button on every post do the same thing? Or is this something different?
That's for sure, but especially in the "porn" category (with sub categories, like the initially relevant non-animal related "woman" category) there is quite a lively share of "semi"-porn with hundreds of comments.Again. Porn only. Otherwise this is a public forum.
Yes, the usually applied analysis of "why is this posted here" does not work any longer in this case.Another is that currently if for example someone posts a guy with a dog in the woman with dogs subforum, it is automatically assumed that they do not know how the forum works and posted it wrong by accident.
The thread is moved to the correct category.
With this change a mod would have to contact the poster, ask them whether they are trans and want to keep the thread there and only then find out that they do not understand what women with animals means.
Since it's been maintaining something reasonably close to 3:1 against, I doubt it's going anywhere but down in ? even without DF-grade input. (Which I've been being fighting every fiber of my being to remain VERY CAREFUL not to inject enough of to be objectionable, I'll thank everyone to know. I'm amazing even myself with the restraint being applied.)I think the most uncomfortable part of all of this is how OP has zero interest in the concerns of anyone else. Mods, other members, anyone who actually supports this, nada. A close second is how bad this could backfire if it passes. There's more than one echo chamber possible here.
I don't really care about the organization of the porn section, aside from the fact organization makes abuse easier to spot and snuff out. I do care about everyone having to deal with the backlash this could cause everywhere else. Like the possible pages of poles like this one just for one example.
I doubt it's going anywhere too. But plenty of people vote on things they don't know about because of who wants it.Since it's been maintaining something reasonably close to 3:1 against, I doubt it's going anywhere but down in ? even without DF-grade input.

This! This right here! You just described me to a "T".Don't worry I don't include you types to my general low opinion, I'm all for live let live, just the types we're discussing I enjoy when they stomp in and make a scene.
I understand this is an out lier and doesn't represent you all..
The OPs "rules" would always be sub-par compared to the forum rules, which are active anyway.Since it's been maintaining something reasonably close to 3:1 against, I doubt it's going anywhere ..
Yep, precisely. I suspect he's enjoying the roast "quietly" before dropping the hammer.I'm still waiting for ZT to pop in, lock the thread, and post a 2012 era rage comic meme basically stating "ain't happening chief." ?
