Now, if LUGNET hopes to retain the moniker “friendliest place on the
internet”, it is going to have to publically be more kid-friendly, IMO.
Kids need safe places to hang out on the net, and I believe that LUGNET
needs to be hyper-sensitive to this issue if it is going to make such a
claim. I don’t believe open, adult conversations such as some of the ones
that occur on LUGNET are “kid-safe”. Why not admin with an iron fist in the
open groups and lay off on closed ones?

It’s kind of funny, but I think that kid-friendly is an awful term for
the suggestion that John is propsing. Kid-hostile is closer, but a single
term for
kid-we-don’t-trust-you-until-you-reach-a-magic-age-even-if-you’re-plenty-mature-to-take-part
would be better.

The point is, Chris, is that that decision should be up to the parents to
decide, not you. If Todd wants LUGNET to be for everyone, it must cater to
the lowest common denominator, and that is about a 7 year old.

I don’t know, but if my kids found a big wall that they
couldn’t get around (but they could) behind which all the good stuff was
taking place,

Good stuff???? Are you kidding me? You’re mad! The “good stuff” you are
talking about is all of the off-topic crap that has nothing to do with LEGO!
The “good stuff”, sir, is the stuff about LEGO.

I think they would not feel all warm and cozy on the “safe”
side.

Honestly, I have no idea why you are arguing what you are arguing.
