There has been, talk recently about the desirability of certain nicknames.
Now that it has been decided, that names with 'boy' and 'girl', are not desirable, would it not be a good time to look at the nicknames that are, shall we say, of a rude or uncouth nature.
Avatars on here are not allowed to be of an explicit nature, and i believe that nicknames should be placed under the same restrictions.
Now dont go thinking i'm a prude, i'm not, and i know this is a swingers forum, and chatroom, with all the sexual undercurrent that goes with these things.
However, i do believe that a bit of decency in the nickname department would be good for the image of SH.
The purpose of this thread is to check out opinion, and to invite comment on this topic, so that i can ascertain whether or not other members have similar opinions.
All that i have said above is just a personal opinion, and i'm not looking to upset anyone, rather to guage membership opinion.
Muttley
Is this in the chatroom or on here ... and how undesirable are we talking? language or those including pisstake?
C x
Both i would say Callista, its difficult to say i suppose, how rude a name can be but there are some that just stand out in that way.
never seen shit or cunt nomis, but they shud deffo be outlawed
The folk with crap nicks usually get ignorred or banned so fast they leave no impression on my life or my opinions of the boards. Nicks like "wannacumonURface" tells me a lot about a person before I have even been in touch with them. Just another restriction that is not needed really.
I think if someone has an nick with something illegal in it then that person would be banned before their foot was in the door. There is loads behind the scenes we don't see.
So in short, nah, as long as it doesn't break aup or the law, fine by me.
oooh this is good, lots of opinion lol.
Thanks Frecklebird, redstilletto, and little gem.
The OTT one that finally made me do this thread was the @dirtyfuckers' nick. Thats an example, of what we really dont need.
Youre right little gem, about the illegal names being kicked off, but i think that names like the one above are as said, OTT.
I don't believe putting restriction on what names you can or can't have. Pictures are a little more easier to ascertain what is legal and what isn't. We simply don't have genital shots in the avatars for legal reasons.
You can find swear words, sayings or nicknames that may be a little offbeat but they are words and everybody can say them to anybody. There are no laws restricting people from saying certain words in public so why here?
Personally I don't find many words offensive. But to restrict my vocab because of some people not liking them is wrong.
There is such a thing as too many rules and regulations in my opinion.
I agree callista, that some names are just 'cheeky', what im against is crudity that is uneccesary.
Can't see the point in restricting names at all. I've got a crude one but I ain't changing it.
personally I dislike nicks which have a pronounced sexual defination, but I accept them regardless. just because a nick suggests somebody wants nothing more than a good shag dont mean that they wont be decent people that you can have a good laugh with whether you have sex or not
I am guessing that Paul Mycock and Isacc Hunt have been considered ??
This is becoming most entertainig.
Thank you peeps, keep 'em coming.
