The Poetry Feedback and Discussion Guidelines are here. If you post here and you haven't read them please do so. The guidelines are clear that nothing should be about underage sexual activity. Neither posts nor poems should refer to or suggest sex with anyone underaged. It's not just a matter of avoiding a number under 18. Poems (or posts) that suggest someone is underaged or is being groomed will be deleted. If a user is warned and continues to post questionable material regarding age their account will be banned.

We want to keep the forum and site safe and free for everyone so please follow the guidelines. If you have questions message me.

I can't begin to explain how much I hate being a cop. Live and let live is my credo. But I really love this forum: the creativity and camaraderie that thrives here. Sometimes you have to be a hard ass to protect what you love.

So many effing JackHoles who post this crap knowing that they can shut down the site.

Yes lots of spam bots all over the forums lately. Thanks (to everyone) for reporting them. One very persistent bot is now banned. But they pop up like weeds.

Stay safe and warm Lez and all of you expecting snowmageddon over the next few days. My county just officially announced a blizzard warning.

I am looking for understanding, not a debate. I fully understand and support not telling stories or sharing content that discusses sexual contact with minors. Even if that means banning content that involves minors with minors. However, If someone were to discuss the journey of self discovery, how does that earn them a censorship? If a writer said I first noticed that I had urges to (fill in the blank) when I was (an unspecified age) and that would latter influence my love of (use your imagination). Does that get you banned?

Yes it does.

A sexual scene involving a minor is a sexual scene involving a minor. The timeline doesn’t magically sanitize it. The narrator’s age doesn’t sanitize it. The framing doesn’t sanitize it. The fact that it’s “in the past” doesn’t sanitize it.

Correct. Any underage references of a sexual nature are against forum (and all site, to be clear) rules. It's not negotiable. This applies both to material submitted for publication and posts here on the forum.

Funny, I manage to tell stories all the time from Way Back When and never give away anyone's ages.

Get creative. It is a fiction site. That doesn't cater to Certain Types (that word is cause for bannaciousness, too.)
