I'm 18, and if I want to "mouth off", I do it in real life, i.e: over the phone, text message, face-to-face, hanging out with friends, etc. I personally do not feel like it should be tolerated on a private forum. This isn't yahoo or myspace, or AIM. Being that specific age myself, I feel like I enjoy coming to a "place" where there are stricter rules, because it helps me feel safer in a way. This is possibly one of the safest online forums because of these rules imposed by T and the mods.
If the rules were lessened, I wouldn't feel as safe. Plus, it would be hard to understand what people are trying to say, and disapointing to find that there isn't at least one place where I can get away from all the sickening aspects of other more public forums.
This really isn't the place to act immature..
I find this website fun, and I'm pretty much addicted to it. So, its up to the individual young adult and everyone else to determine what their definition of fun is, and to perform whatever actions necessary to satisfy that fun need in the appropriate place and format.
