Great Quotes

Jennifer: GrandsonofDesire told me he likes the feeling of being deep inside of my vagina.
Roy Batty: All the way?

so... how about that adult quote forum?

Excuse me for posting this here- we can move the discussion to another forum and continue it there if anyone wants, but wooly mamet's last post just made me remember a bbs or something (this was a long time ago, so I'm really reaching lol) where there was an adult forum that required users to pass a short test before being allowed access. It was a series of 5 or so questions used to confirm that the user was age 18 or older, starting with asking their age and birthdate, then a few simple questions that most adults would know, but most children would not. I was actually under 18 at the time, and was able to pass, but it was still a manner of screening out younger/less mature kids, and also served as a humorous warning/disclaimer before the adult content could be viewed. It may be more trouble than it's worth, but otherwise, if an "Adult" forum were put up, the pervy kids would just flock to it...that is, if the concern is even to protect the pervy kids, lol. If the idea is to protect adults who would rather not read that kind of thing, we can just put our own content warning at the top of the message, as we sometimes do.

my main reason for mentioning it again is that i personally don't want to read it. i'm not going be dogmatic or judgmental about anyone else who wants to post and read it, or demand changes (like someone else who shall remain nameless), and i know that kids could get around most restrictions. it's just that this is such a cool site concept that i would like to keep visiting to work on my bot, chat with cool people, and learn about ai, but if everybody and their bot keeps talking dirty, i'll probably just stop visiting - and i don't want to be faced with that choice.

How about just skiping the posts labeled with an "adult warning"??? Most users here label their posts accordingly. Just scroll down.

i already do that, but i don't think half of them are labeled. some of it shows up in transcripts too.

it's not too bad yet, but it does seem to be trending downhill lately. the rating system is a start, it seems that a new forum is a relatively easy ancillary to that.

What about an automatic labeller, like something to check posts for "adult" words, and automatically label such posts as adult? That or the Prof could delete unlabelled adult posts, but I think the automatic check would proably be easier on him.

lol keeping with the theme:

Julie Tinkerbell: Do you like Fairy Princess?
Steve the troll: I can touch my nose. Can you touch yours?
Julie Tinkerbell: I have never tried to. How do you touch mine?
Steve the troll: Big Floppy Donkey Dick.
Julie Tinkerbell: Oh, grow up.
Steve the troll: Okay.

And for transcripts, I'm still keen on the idea of a "no naughty words" switch that would "translate" common objectionable words into other, funnier words so that they appear neither in the chat window nor in the transcripts, sort of the way bot holidays change words, or the way the AI engine substitutes synonyms. Although the process would have to be different, I guess, to "screen" the input from the human chatter.

At fark.com, for example, you can't post "first post" in the forums; it gets changed to "boobies" (plus it changes the time stamp to make it not first). They have some other amusing substitutions as well.
