A Place of Safety
I expect simple behaviours here. Friendship, and love.
Any advice should be from the perspective of the person asking, not the person giving!

Since I have to take some serious "me" time over Christmas, I am looking for a fair minded, straight talking, decent person to volunteer to moderate this forum, probably from this point until they hand the reins back to me to be passed to someone else. I WILL be available to advise, bit I am standing back from most things.

The duties are not onerous. I sometimes edit a post where a video could be embedded rather than linked to. I do remove the occasional spammer who registers in order to link to their own site and for no other purpose. I may still do the second part!

It is so rare that a post or a poster needs to be persuaded to be well behaved that we can almost discount it as part of the role. Even so it is.

I'd like to see the character of the place enhanced. It is, of course it is, a place to champion gay rights and to deprecate, campaign against. bullying. But it is primarily a place for conversation and folk to ask difficult questions well and receive good answers.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
