Eh, it's my understanding that sex talk isn't allowed in any of the rooms, regardless of the title the room has. The adult room is only for PG-13 rated chat at the most, and only very sparingly.

However, when that was first being enforced, folks still made password protected rooms where they could talk as R rated as possible without the staff being any the wiser. Or at least that was what I was told.

So, whichever way you throw the dice, folks will look for whatever way possible to have an R rated sex talk via the chat service. Now, I can understand having more of that sort of mindset while in a mania, but I don't feel it should have any sort of place on this site. If folks want to have that sort of content in their chat, they can go elsewhere, as they're are many other places online that will cater to that sort of whim.

I hate to say it, but if people are constantly abusing some part of the site, regardless of how many rules and guidelines are being put forth, and it's hard to even enforce those rules and guidelines in that area in the first place, then why have that part of the site anymore?

It doesn't seem very productive or conducive to the site's mission or make the site look good of there is a weak part of it that users constantly exploit. I understand that if the weakest part of the site is done away with, folks will find the next weakest part to exploit, and constantly downsizing the site's features isn't an option (not to mention a very limited option as there can only be so many features removed before the site can't function anymore), so what is the answer?
