I'm going to comment on this because I think it needs to be addressed but after that I'm going to close the thread, any further comments or questions should be directed toward a moderator. If you don't get a satisfactory response from them you can pm me. Do not start new threads on the topic.
As we all know there's a lot of flirting going on here as well as a few questionable topics. Mistakes happen and it's easy to forget that we're not just our online personas but real people - some being children. Before posting something flirty or anything that can even remotely be considered sexual I would strongly recommend you check the person's profile for an age. If an age is not available and you don't know for sure that they are 18+ it would be best to keep your remarks to yourself.
Even if an age is available and they appear to be 18+ you need to keep in mind who you're talking to. Do you know the person well enough to make a comment of this nature toward them? Also be aware that just because someone's profile says they are 18+ that doesn't necessarily mean that they are.
There was an instance recently where something inappropriate was said to a minor. It has since been dealt with and that's why the recent thread discussing it was removed. We have no reason to believe it was anything but tasteless (and inappropriate) humor. It happened weeks ago and nothing has happened since so we don't need a thread now insinuating that the person in question is a child molestor.
If you have concerns about someone's behavior it needs to be reported. If you don't get a satisfactory response you can pm me about it.
