Mods also have a life outside IF. They cannot go through every single post. Topics are almost always locked because they are reported by members.
I have loved some of the mature FF's written by some of the writers. I don't think it's appropriate to name them so I won't. I think most people understand the beauty of their writing that's why their FF's are never locked.
But unfortunately some people don't write as well as they do. I remember reading two-three FF's/OS's my reaction was W*F. Let's just face it...not everyone is a good writer.
I don't know the about the FF in question here so I can't comment on that.
@red: who doesn't? 😆 we're not all complete losers you know, just because we come here to write, discuss, gush about the latest episodes, etc. 😳
@dark blue: YUP. Agreed right there. Which is why I always "liked" your posts and never commented on them! LOL. Cos I found it intimidating to even say a word on ur threads. 😆 But then again, as a writer, I'm not just writing. I read too. You'd know what I mean. You write, and from what you just said, you read too. And everytime I read someone else's work, I learn something from it. What to do and what NOT to do. 😆 We're all here to learn, discuss, share... People shouldn't be restricted to post, just because their english isn't good enough. They'll learn the art of writing, and learn to see beauty in language gradually. All we need is time to get better at this art! 😳

I have a different POV here. Although I am an adult, I find some of the Os/ FF's not up to my taste. Some of the writers do write very well and handle mature contents beautifully and it is a pleasure to read, but few other writer's can't and don't.
I don't read all the FF's written here because I don't have enough time anyway. And if I do read them , I usually read FF's written by people I know and who's works i like.
IF has different sections and this section is primarily for discussion of the shows and not only for OS's and FF's. That's why I feel there should be no age restriction in the TV show section s as most shows in India are for general viewing.Why complicate things here ?
IF registration is rather simple and I think it should be kept as it is. Even if age restriction is put,people will come up with fake ID's.
I don't think they should put age limit in the TV show section just so that people can read mature FF's.
I think it is easy for us to say that it is only the responsibility of the parents and the kids.the admin and the DT's of IF also have a responsibilityand I have no problem with the current IF rules. They are running IF for so many years now, I am sure they have made the rules and thought over them thousands of times.
@Pink: I never said to add an age restriction. I meant, the writers of the "mature" posts can add the simple HTML COMMAND PROMT that will restrict users of 18 and above to view the post. Just like you post the NOCOPY or the MEMBERSONLY commands! SImple as that! In that way, the 9 year olds can be protected and the older ones can be refrained from viewing what's not to be read by their ages.
@green: none of our problems. If they do such a thing, it's their choice. it's their own business, and if their parents are fine with it, I don't know why we should bother. If their parents don't know about it, well, they're failing at their jobs then.
@grey: EXACTLY MY POINT. if the admins have a responsibility towards the younger generation, then they should not in ANY CASE forget about the older generation. We are users of India Forums as well you know?
@black: times change. people change. you as an adult, has lived life and experienced more than most of us here. You'd have had the privilege to witness such a change. and if this change is occurring, I don't see why IF should not reform with times. It's not just the establishment of a unit that's important, it's its maintenance that also matters. keeping the essential groundwork of what's been established, and also moving forward with times. You will probably not believe this but i know 16 year olds who DID THE DEED. and this was 4 years ago. :/ IN INDIA OKAY! NOT SOMEWHERE ELSE! just a small example. In HK they DO IT when they're 12 yrs old. According to my classmates here, at university.
