When is "too much porn" a problem?
All kidding aside, it is great to see the forums are consistently becoming more active with new people posting. We've seen exponential growth over the past eight years that shows no sign of slowing down. We always want to embrace and encourage new posters. I'm hesitant to push for the forums to become "over moderated" in a way that would descourage posters new and old. The moderators walk a fine line to keep this balance and in my opinion, they do a great job.
I'll comment on a couple issues we deal with all the time. Since day one, the "ENF" forum has been a challenge because there is quite a variety in how different people perceive what constitutes "ENF". When a new thread is created that doesn't remotely fit the theme, it will get moved to the best fitting forum. Beyond that, it would be nearly impossible to micromanage every new photo in every new post that shows up in the "ENF" forum.
Generally, if a thread has anything that shows penetration it belongs in one of the "hardcore" forums. Yes, you'll find threads that might be 99% softcore in one of the "hardcore" forums. However, it only takes one photo or video to tip the scale to make it belong in a "hardcore" forum. That's the way we have always managed things here. If you were to ask the moderators, I'm sure they would all agree that the most common scenario where a thread needs to get moved is because it contains hardcore material and has been posted in one of the other forums. This is also tricky, because some threads start softcore but eventually on topic material can be added that warrants moving the thread to a "hardcore" forum.
My view is that kindness and encouragement goes a long way. Rather than getting frustrated (or wishing off topic posts were deleted) I think it's better to encourage people to keep posting, but point them in the direction of the most appropriate forum or existing thread. That's something we have all been doing together as a community. Keeping a friendly and supportive attitude has served us well over the years and this really sets us apart from most of the other sites out there.
Thanks,
