I remember when I joined this forum in April of last year. MCM was a place for me to talk to and do deals with people who liked collecting "OG" names as much as I did when they first became readily available. I was pretty active and I enjoyed the forums overall, in fact I still very much do. I was later kindly gifted premium in June and I noticed a chatbox had appeared on the side of my screen which was filled with people I regularly had discussions with. I was greeted with messages like "Hey, Doge has premium!" and "welcome!". The shoutbox then mainly revolved around discussions relevant to the forum and interests such as OG collecting, Building, Server Creation, you name it! Needless to say, I loved it.

Unfortunately in recent times, the shoutbox has been plagued with people having sexual discussions; most of which are extremely immature and filled with nonsense. This happens nearly every single day and it's getting quite annoying and repetitive at this point. This isn't something that belongs in a marketplace at all and I wonder what non-premiums think after seeing the chat filled with this stuff.

If you don't believe me, have a look for yourself:

That right there is exactly what we don't want or need to see and is what this suggestion will hopefully put an end to. (There are pages and pages more of this stuff, but I figured this is enough to get my point across)

This would improve the chat quality and would be a step forward to restoring its overall greatness.

IMHO I'm not even sure why a marketplace has a chatbox (it's not social media), but I agree.

Doge was it necessary to add my shoutbox post? That wasn't even about sexuality/sex/anything of the sort. I was simply asking avster to donate me 40 dollars. Using f*** for emphasis isn't the same as using f*** in terms of sex.

I didn't crop the second screenshot because it would've been too time consuming picking out the messages, sorry.

Let donors say whatever crap they want in the SB if the majority of it allows it. No trashing or flaming but cmon, sexual subjects are just too fun to avoid XD

Just to give everyone a heads up, since the issue has been raised, I'll be taking action when I see such discussions. Obviously I'll give fair verbal warnings before issuing warnings and bans.

Sexual/inappropriate content targeted towards a specific user (even as a joke) will be dealt with under the following rule:
1.10 Do not post content that is intended to defame or harm another member or person.

And the darker discussions I've seen will be dealt with under the following rule:
1.14 Do not post content that is pornographic or sexually explicit.

This is nothing to say that the odd innuendo isn't allowed. It's moreso the.. more.. in-depth discussions that people tend to have.

Looks like another win for the "innocent" children whilst older users are thrown under the bus again.
