RE: Make the "civil" discussion part of the forum invisible to non members
On the day when I give a fuck about your opinion I'll let you know.


Today is not that day.

RE: Make the "civil" discussion part of the forum invisible to non members
I don't get the point of all the other sections, if we are going to lump all them into one basket in the civil place. Shouldn't every subsection have a civil discussion part and non-civil discussion part or something.

Or else, if we all decide to become super-civil and join and participate just there, what's the point of all the sub sections to organize?

Did you perhaps mean participation, rather than partition?  (Although I can see a good case being made for either.)

Yeah I was on my phone and apparently it doesn't like that word.

What's wrong with you, woman.  Got to keep it real.  How could civility possibly be real???

Fixed that for you.

How do you see it as a private club?


I hear only those that choose to participate are allowed to post.  Brutally repressive.

Shits like you getting special privileges is offensive.

I haven't joined A69 but only because I've been too lazy to apply. I'm on board with keeping pornographic and graphic images separate from the rest of AF but my view is filtered through the lens of having a young child.

The reasons for the civil forum being members-only is a little more hazy, though. I've never been much of a club-joiner and I'd rather stick with AF at large, where all members can freely participate (within AF rules, of course).

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Then could the folks in that sub-forum be encouraged to label their threads in a manner that makes them distinguishable, much the way mafia threads are?

Oh man, what I would do for a good looking lady to tell me that. Wololo, you lucked out bro!

I am going on a date as soon as that date super hot date, is not busy and has time. She is busy with school now, it's that time of the year.
