I've kind of got a two-part suggestion/comment thing. I actually didn't notice that the actual RP sites are hidden from guest eyes until I logged out to switch accounts and noticed that the site was shorter. I understand why and yeah, that's a pretty decent move in the discretion field to keep us from being shut down again, I kinda feel like it would stop people from joining. I don't really like the idea of a forum that forces you to join before opening its content to you. I like to get a feel for the structure of the site and the setting I'll be RP-ing in before making an account.
Also, maybe instead of hiding public content, we could great a hidden board with hidden sub-boards that people need to PM Rah with good reason to gain access to. It would be a board for all things lewd and graphic, and allow more graphic fun times and maybe some darker abuse as well. And the threads could be deleted or placed in a hidden archive once they're finished...?
Maybe? Yes/no?

I know we've been having issues with the more graphic content, and I think QC's idea is valid. I honestly hate when boards were hidden from me when I was thinking of joining a site. I like to get a feel for how people would rp, and all that jazz. And I can see how this would really deter people. And, having a hidden board would solve that problem.
QC = GENIUS.

This is an excellent idea!! And I think that if we just make sure that we aren't too crazy in our threads then we don't have any reason to hide them. I don't think we were even being that awful in the first place, but we can't just hide errything. SO I think the suggestion of hidden boards is a good idea. That way we don't offend anyone, but also allow visitors to scope us out and get a better feel for the site. =D

On a fourm i was a member on before they hid any high risk boards and kept the safe ones open for browsing.

It is a good idea the only problem is that proboards can still see it. Yes, the password board is a good idea. And I think we should have one too. But just because it's password protected doesn't mean you can do whatever in it cuz proboards can still see it. So if we did get a password board that doesn't mean we can go over the extreme there.
Also, I know what you mean about being able to see the content before you join, but we didn't even have any sex on the boards and we were shut down just for the fact that it was slavery. I wish we could show it, but this is just a safety precaution to try to prevent being shut down again.
A password board is good, we just can't go too far like extremely dark shit lol. But the invisible content is a safety precaution.

I don't think PB would pay attention to it, though...I had a site going for a long time that had all manner of horrid things on it in full RP form and we never had any troubles...Like, it has to be something obvious that a search would reveal if they were looking...
Also, there was physical intimacy on the board. It wasn't just slavery, I don't think...

I'm just saying, they've already deleted us once and we hadn't done anything wrong. Proboards can still see those password boards. I don't want to give them reason to take us down again.
And don't get me wrong, i agree that sex stuff can go in there, I'm just saying, don't take it too far
