WHEN / IF the members are acknowledged by staff...perhaps the discussion of offending material will die down.

ummmm...because for years, now, staff has given the impression that members' opinions do matter...? If a small group of the privileged few are allowed to voice their opinions, and no one objects, then admin (or whomever) think that's what the majority want. Sadly, it looks like the 'privileged few' have taken over this board, and it no longer interests admin. We certainly are 'guests' here; but donating members contributed under what now looks like was misleading information:

Yorkie Talk Rules and Regulations ( excerpt )

You agree that you will notuse the YorkieTalk Forums to post any advertisement or other commercial message except expressly allowed by YorkieTalk. You agree that you will not post any knowingly false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, harassing, obscene, sexually oriented, or threatening message or material that is illegally invasive of another person’s privacy.

Had I known that the rules only went one way - toward members, and not to be upheld by this board, I most probably would not have invested monetarily.

I hardly think that anything being discussed in that thread would interest a child.

yeeeaaaaaahhh....right. LOL

And parent do monitor me on computer, but think about it. I tell my mum I am on dog website, she see the header saying Yorkie Talk..She's not watching me read every thread. She doesn't expect there to be sex stuff on a dog website. (She knows there breeding stuff though.)

I'm rather neutral on topic, but I just wanted to say this to everyone who say oh well parent should be monitoring. Mum is behind me cooking dinner right now, she has checked what sites I am on and in ten minutes she will come look again. To say that child will not be 'interested' in sex thread or that they won't be on this forum anyway is just ridiculous and extremely out of touch, not to mention deluded.

What about kid who come on and are NOT member? They can still read. Like I say, I don't really interest whether this should be kept or not but maybe there should be a members only section or something .

Thank you, Disney! Yes, now you know exactly where to direct your under-aged friends to find their 'adult toys'! Just think of the convienience! No more skulking about behind parents' backs or trying to gain illegal entry to porn sites!
