I'm going to preface this by saying I do appreciate the freedom I have to say pretty much anything I want here without fear of "offending" some candy-ass and getting perma-banned.
That being said, I'm getting pretty sick of all the restricted access. Apparently I can say whatever I want, just not anywhere I want to say it.
What's the point of closing a forum off to one group of people over another? Isn't the idea of any forum for people who aren't all like-minded to get together and compare ideas? How can someone do that if they are closed out?
Say what you want about O.com, but I've never been kept out of a forum.
At the very least, I think Admin owes us an explanation. After all, I don't know about you, but I was asked to be here. That's like being invited over to someone's house for a party and being told "Oh, just don't go in the kitchen with those people. Or in the bathroom with those people. But you can hang out here in the mud room."
And don't cop out with a "Just ask so-and-so to let you in". That's bullshit. either you have a legitmate reason for keeping me out, or you're on some grade school power trip. Period.

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

To clear up things about restricted access. First of all, many people who visit this site have kids and I think it should be up to the parent to decide if their child should be able to view some subjects on here. After all many kids use the same computers as their parents. Hence why the adult sections are restricted.
Secondly, this forum is not meant to be lets just sign up and talk about sex type deal either so after posting for awhile it should be a perk to get into the different threads.
As for The Family Catergory there are many topics that concern only the GLBT community and does not need the opinion of someone who just wants to be a smartass. People do have serious issues to share and to be honest not everyone (including myself at times) are adult enough to act that way.
Also for the guys and girls thread, there are issues just like Family Catergory that does not need everyone and their grandmother to view. Some things are personal and that is why a sub forum is created.
And your right you can say whatever you want, but not where ever you want just for the reasons I stated above. There is also limited thread changes or post deletions and thread closings on here.
As for your comment about say as you want about O.com and never being kept out of a forum, that is because you meet the criteria to be able to post in all the areas. Just don't be pissed off that you don't meet the criteria to post everywhere on here. After all how many people on O.com can't post in ask a cop section because their aren't LEOs. Another thing, this isn't O.com this is The Other Place.
If your having issues of not being able to see a topic, well that seems like a issue that you have to deal with not a issue for everyone else to deal with.
I have recieved nothing, but positive feedback for the things that are done with this forum and alot of what is done I seek the opinions of other memebers before actually doing. Whenever someone needed access to an area if they meet the correct criteria they have never been turned down.
I appreciate the fact that you have come over here, but like any house as you used as an example there are rules. Hopes this clears things up.

I'm with Centurion, kind of. If Quopper can get in without a PM, why not Centurion. Fair is fair. The only thing I can see in restricting access to a certain number of posts is to weed out the ones who register and never post or only post a few times and leave, never to be heard from again. If you've proven yourself that you're going to stick around, by all means you should be given access. Just my opinion. Kittylynn has asked a few days ago, even by PM to be let in to the private sections and still access hasn't been granted yet.

Actually, Quopper got in before the min. posting rules. As for centurain he has not PMed me about anything and if he has in the past he has been given access. To clear things up Quopper has PMed me heck, she even created a thread dedicated to it.
As for Kittylynn not getting access, I am not around 24/7 to give access to everyone right when they ask, but actually she has been taken care of. I don't always reply either to a person getting access because of the amount of PMs I recieve at times.
