Is It Normal?
What do you think?
Policing this site!
I fancy if we don't start policing ourselves soon, this site will get some strict censors on it. Surely we can sort ourselves out and start behaving like responsible human beings and have a site without interference from outwith!

What do you all think?

I wrote this. We really have to start to think about what we are all doing. Particularly with refference to the brother, sister, auntie, uncle, mother, father, incestuous type posts. We also need to get rid of the underaged elements here. THEY are what will eventually bring this site down. Simple really. The 'stories' printed here in are not suitable for kids. If you lot keep posting them and the kids stay, it is nothing short of a recipee for disaster!
The ball is in your own court so please, do think about this!
@: nearly
I disagree with you entirely, and think you should reconsider before I blow your ass up.
Well, it is quite simple. Carry on as is and the site will inevitably be shut down because of the 'stories' on it and the age of some. The two just do not go together. We either have to get rid of the under 18's or we have to moderate the 'stories'. We will not get away with the combination as it is. It is just a matter of time before it gets either highly censured or, ultimately, shut down altogether.
I don't want to waste anyones fun or freedoms but these two are a recipee for complete and utter disaster.
We have the choice to change things and I think we really need to look hard on this and moderate ourselves before we lose the opportunity altogether.
There are some VERY CLEVER people use this site but they chose to behave like morons. Eventually, they'll simply kill the site.
NONE OF US WANT THAT TO HAPPEN, DO WE?
@: nearly
Nearly, thank you for some very important and timely observations. This has been said before, but it certainly bears repeating, loud and clear. I enjoy the free-wheeling, anything-goes nature of this site, but we do need to be mindful of controlling our behavior before someone/something outside the site decides to control it for us. Some of the posts I have seen recently are not only pushing the envelop in terms of their capacity to be offensive in general, they also have the potential to evoke painful memories for those who may have been victims of sexual abuse and/or violence.

Since there is no official moderation at this site, we are the only ones who can do it, and I suggest that we start doing it now. As nearly says, none of us wants to see the site shut down. Therefore, one of two things must occur: The under-18 crowd must be eliminated, or the particularly inappropriate stories must stop. Otherwise, that recipe for disaster that nearly warns of is almost certain to become a reality.
@: JanIAm
Well, short of having moderators, we are not going to get rid of the youngsters. That really leaves us only one option and I feel most of us would prefer to moderate our own behaviour rather than having it done for us.

I am also quite sure there is at least one membership to this site which is legally orientated. We really should be looking at this matter as a matter of urgency. Every week we hear about different sites being investigated. We are in free fall here at the moment. We have to arrest this and keep ourselves free of sensorship or simply die for doing nothing. It is simply a matter of time unless we take the responsible course.
@: nearly
Its easy to see this site will eventually go down in flames but really we cannot do anything about it. The site owner has let the site run its self and he does not answer emails from anyone anymore. We cannot solve this problem. I guess its better to burn out then fade away sometimes..
We CAN sort it if we all pull together. We cannot afford to be complacent or negative. We HAVE to take control.
@: nearly
Its up to the sustaining members to just hold their ground and stay mature. The kids will come and go and new ones will always replace them.
Yes but when you get people like EW posting the next story up from this one, you see the battle we have. We have to ostrasize ourselves from him with stories like that. Make it known where posible who the writers are and make no comments other than outting them. SHAME them into better behaviour. Otherwise they will continue. Unfortunately all profiles are not open so we'll only be able to guess at some but hopefully they will see the wisdom of behaving better.
Sorry knucks. I was trying to decide if I like being called 'oldman' but I guess thats what I am eh! lol. You may well be right in your thoughts but things are getting way out of hand and we need to get a grip and reverse the trend. Either that or go down the tubes. This site is too valuable to waste so we HAVE to stand up and be counted.
I do appologise for neglecting to respond to you.
calling people names isn't whats going to bring the site down, it's the uncalled for sex stories some of these idiots are posting.
I am an old man aint I. I been called worse. It just takes a bit of getting used to!
@: nearly
I will do my part I promise you that.
Thanks rock. I appreciate that, as I also respect you for your other adjustment made recenlty :)
@: nearly
There you go Nearly all of us can forgive at some point.
It was a couple of weeks ago the other 'adjustment' was made and I acknowleged it at the time. It is sad when it takes a couple of gay guys to show all the 'straights' on here how to behave! Incidentally, I have never been dominant in my life and don't intend to be either.
Rock you should make some fake underwear for you and your pal in the picture.
He could make it edible! lmbo
@: nearly
I must say the thought of those has never turned me on in the least
Me either but hey, some one musta bought them!
...or flying spider monkeys armed with laser guns... whatever floats your boat.
Wow... do you realise that is some religious fanatic site? Here's a little quote from their policy:

1. Thou shalt not post pornographic material.

There is a common misconception that pornography is limited purely to images or textual descriptions of an explicit sexual nature. This is not the case. Anything that can evoke impure thoughts in the mind of the beholder is pornographic.
2. Thou shalt not post hateful material.

Any material that promotes or inspires hatred or violence towards any other person or group of people is strictly forbidden.
3. Thou shalt not post blasphemous material.

Any material that would lead one astray from the righteous path of the one true God must not be permitted on the Internet. These days children are gaining access to the Internet at younger and younger ages%u2014a time when they are most vulnerable and susceptible to blasphemous viewpoints and suggestions.
4. Thou shalt not post materials of an offensive political nature.
5. Thou shalt not post materials concerning bestiality, including interracial relationships.

God did not intend for different species or races to intermingle sexually. Any content that contradicts this natural law, directly or indirectly, is strictly forbidden.


Umm... What would my day be without pornography, hate, blasphemy, and a little beastiality?
@: nearly
If you see an inappropriate story, then flag it (e.g. Off Topic, Innapropriate, Adult, etc.). I'm not sure if this would work, but it doesn't hurt to try. Not just recent stories, any story. We can help keep Is It Normal? online by flagging any story that we see as inappropriate. So if IIN does get sued, then at least these types of stories will be in the appropriate section. We may not win the case, but it would hurt.
I guess I can't post my child pornography on here any longer. Damn fucking internet nazis.
Thanks for your responses all. It is heartening to see that you are all positive on this subject. Very heartening.

I yhink we owe it to ourselves to be vigilent. Either we do it or we lose the site, which, in my eyes, would be bad news since it is the only site I know of without moderators. They come in here and MOST stories would never make it to the public area.
If we try to be half ways reasonable, we can make it I am sure. Don't forget the net police may well have accounts here also and stupid stories with content which is not legal in any of our countries, either singly or totally, are liable to cause problems for the posters of these stories. It is not hard, with the assistance of Udi, to track the where abouts of the 'bad' posters. Something you should all think about before posting.
Keep the comments coming. I will pop in daily and respond. Thanks all for your spoken support in this issue.

LONG LIVE IIN.
people quick with this stupid shit
@: flikr
Why di your posts and answers never make any sense? Are you really that stupid or do you do it for a bet?
now why doesn't it surprise me to hear on "old" member say that? Thanks for that input. Would never have thought those two had it in them to be honest. Certainly wouldn't surprise me though.
@: Potato
There's a limit to everything.
@: nearly
There's nothing wrong with being old. People do it all the time. We just have to be more responsible.
@: nearly
LMAO
