I voted 'yes', simply because I think that if you make a promise, it should be kept. That said, I'm afraid I'm somewhat at a loss here. Exclusivity? On a web site like this? To me, that doesn't make sense. If you are exclusive, shouldn't you have only one friend? THE one? How can you be 'owned'? Or if you are owned, or exclusive, can you have multiple friends but only supposed to indulge in sex talk (or action) with only one person? Considering the nature of this site, that seems highly unlikely. It's rather like saying "I work in a brothel, but really only fuck you darling" (My apologies to Nicola). If I'm confused, put it down to old age and creeping senility.
I think the comparison to a brothel is somewhat off. Yes, Lush is basically a sex site, but unlike a brothel, it's not a place that only attracts people, who are simply looking to have sex. Of course many here do, but there are a lot of members, who come here to share and read stories and poetry, or to enjoy all kinds of interaction, that have nothing to do with cybersex. People debate, joke and like in offline life, they flirt and fall in love. And sometimes they decide, that what they have together is fulfilling enough, to fully commit to each other, online and sometimes even offline.

No, that's not depraved. The red sea (the one Israel and Egypt border on, you perverts) really is beautiful
Roses are red
my morning wood
between loving lips
now that would feel good
I'm sorry G, but you won't be using cock rings anymore. Didn't your mom tell you as a kid, that if you tied a string around your finger too tightly, your finger would drop off...? That is not only true for fingers....
Tried to, but so far I found, that I'm not very good at writing erotica

Edit: no; I don't knit

What is the attraction of the chatrooms? (I hardly go there)
Can I have both please? Oh well, fish then...

I think you advocated in another of these threads for a 3 strikes and you're out type system in which every minor infraction would be counted against forum posters. Yes, sometimes people go too far. I'm glad there are moderators to deal with the hateful mudslinging posts. However I wouldn't like to feel stifled & worried over being suspended for the slightest thing.

I did refer to three strikes out in an earlier thread, you are right. It was a response to an earlier statement, claiming the site would lose half it's members if rules were to be strictly implemented. I argued, that was not true. It was, as I stated, meant as food for thought. If you put extremes in either side of the scales, they might end up in an acceptable middle.

And I have no problem with people exploring different identities here. I think it's great that Lush can be a safe outlet for people's fantasies. I was just using that to illustrate that this site is very different from a work or school related forum. We should have a bit more freedom of expression here smile

I agree, I just think, that like in the real world, freedom of expression should not include the right, to personally attack, insult or bully people, and I'll never agree with classifying such behavior as merely annoying.
Quote by jollylolly


Comparing Lush to a school or workplace is absurd. I have a kid who is dealing with mean girl bullshit in school & that is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. No one is required to be on this website.

I agree, it's not the same. Does that make bullying people to the point, they flee from the site, acceptable? It's not about irony, or innocent mockery. It's about mean personal attacks, aimed at hurting people and not once, but time and again.
Quote by jollylolly
There are grown men posing as 19 yo lesbians here asking questions about boobs to get themselves off. Is giving a ridiculous reply trolling to you? Am I allowed to be ironic in the think tank under your proposed rules?

Exactly which proposed rules are you referring to? I never proposed any rules. I think the rules for posting on lush are clear, well formulated and complete and I don't believe they prohibit irony or a little mockery. They do however forbid personal attacks and insults. Al I've ever asked for, is the implementation of those rules. It is clearly stated that they apply in the think tank. Either make that true or remove that statement.

As for men, posing as women, yes, and? Lush is a site about sex, sexual fiction and sexual fantasies. There are very docile people pretending to be doms or daddies and housewives playing the role of schoolteachers, secretaries and prostitutes. To each his or her fantasy, I'd say. At worst they're exploiting the gullability of their fellow lushies. I doubt however, if hurting anyone is their objective.

How is creating all of these threads that go nowhere, threatening to delete one's account if one's demands aren't met, and trying to ban people who don't conform to your idea of forum etiquette more mature & responsible than just ignoring, blocking, and moving on?
The mere fact, threads like these keep popping up, could be an indication, that people continue to disagree about it. Cutting off a debate will only make it pop up somewhere else, because as long as people see injustice they will bring it up.
As for "my idea of forum etiquette", that happens to be excellently described in the rules for forum posting.

When I annoy someone on here, it really is no accident. If someone's opinion is laughable - i'll mock it, anything less gives it validity, and that's the last thing I want to bring across.
I do not think anyone could disagree with this, as it is an opinion you are attacking and that's what debate is about.

Quote by overmykneenow
You say trolls suffer from a social disorder but ask yourself, who has the more apparent psychological problem? The troll or a person who can't stand people disagreeing with them. A person who also creates conspiracy theories to explain why things happen
You are twisting the facts. If anyone has a problem with people who disagree with them, it's those who have to resort to personal attacks and insults, or to derailing a discussion, in order to not lose (which isn't the same as winning btw).

what is ironic about this, and i'll be very blunt here, is that this is aimed at Magical Felix. we all know it, so let's not beat around the bush. i'm pretty sure he's getting a kick out of watching it proceed, in fact. the result, really, isn't going to affect him at all. what it will do is annoy pretty much everyone else. right now, i'm annoyed - i've been dealing with a lot these last few weeks, and really, while i am happy to split my time between story and forum modding, it does grow old when i'm dealing with these kind of threads. Dani has waaaay more patience than i do, honestly.

so, get it out of your system. things will change organically, as they need to. now, if you'll excuse me, i'm going to go eat my dinner of jello and veggie broth. peace out.

No Sprite, it is not about Jack. Jack's behaviour may be the trigger for this this thread, but in fact it is about how people think, lush should deal with people like Jack. And if you look at the result off the poll so far, the majority disagrees with the current policy.

You are right about Jack though. He just basks in the attention he gets and if he feels anything, it is encouragement to go on harassing and bullying. He's been given free range.

In the outside world harassment and bullying is becoming more and more recognized as something, that is damaging and unacceptable. Hence, campaigns and initiatives are being launched to combat it, not only in schools among children, but also in workplaces, among adults.

Somehow however, what is seen as unacceptable in the real world, is put down as merely annoying in lush. There is a difference between being a nuisance and being a bully. Annoying people is not the same as posting things with the sole purpose, to insult and hurt people. And though being an adult implies the risk of encountering bullies, it in no way implies that we have to accept them and their behaviour. A responsible adult doesn't tell someone who suffers from what's wrong, to hide behind a block, he tackles and corrects the situation.

underwear.. just seeing these thrift stores and 2nd hand stores sell underwear gives me the creeps and think, why??
Probably because poverty really exists, so there is a market for anything cheap. as long as it's clean, used doesn't matter, not if it's all you can afford.

While you you two discuss who is second I will answer the question of who is indeed the sexiest...... Yes it is me
I can see where your username comes from. You are truly mixed up, there is no discussion. It's me, that's all there is to it...

Mr P.... I cannot deny your attractions.. but you must acquiesce.... 'tis I
I'll acquiesce to the fact that you're sexy, but I'll never acknowledge you're sexier than me (not on this thread at least)

Hi Kiera!
