If the Adult worlds decide to have their own Cy's, that's fine. But, the
impression that I have gotten is that the Teens would be separated from the Cy's all together and have their own Cy awards. If it were with the rest of the community awards, and Teens had a fair chance at every category just like every other world and person, then that would be fine. From what I can see, it would not be so, the teens would be placed in their own Cy's, not being allowed to even attend the regular Cy's. J [View Quote] elykNov 8, 2002, 12:38am
No, it wasn't in GorVernA, as I do not visit that world anymore (previous
post) and no I am not trying to start up trouble. Do you actually read these posts? I was responding in agreement to someone. Why not, you say?! Adult content=adults only. The CY's are a "community" event. Community means content that is allright for everyone INCLUDING children to view. The content I saw was NOT for children to view. Therfore, it shouldnt have been promoted. Its like advertising "Playboy" on the Family channel....it doesn't happen. [View Quote] bowenNov 8, 2002, 12:44am

Teens are not in question, adult worlds and themes are. Therefore, using common
sense, they should be the ones excluded. --Bowen-- linn ironhead@digitalpassage(dot)comNov 8, 2002, 12:45am
if there are 2 awards no matter what the name of them one for adult
theme and one for reg community cits the teens should be part of the latter I am not in favor of separating anyone out of them but the adult theme jstone2004Nov 8, 2002, 12:46am
good. But what would this 'adult cy' entail? Would it be the same awards? or
different ones? J [View Quote] ncc 71854Nov 8, 2002, 12:58am

Not to worry SW Chris...the Cys will never be cheapened...viva la Cys!:)
antigoneNov 8, 2002, 1:18am
Well there little lady:)
I beg to differ:) I have seen grown upstanding members of this community speaking of BOB in the Bingos. You DO know what BOB is?...If not just ask some of our fine upstanding citizens:) And guess what? If a young adult doesn't know what it is they beg to have someone tell them. How is this release of partial info different than the Cys I ask you? *shaking head* antigoneNov 8, 2002, 1:21am
Me also jstone.
FYI...it might be put to a Community vote as to which the Cys will cover.....Adult rated or G rated. I reckon if anyone is going to make a decision it just might be you folks:) No promises yet tho. antigoneNov 8, 2002, 1:21am
Well jstone...it could go the other way...where adult themed worlds would be
hindered:( antigoneNov 8, 2002, 1:26am
Sorry Bowen...but teens are not in question...but are the concern.
Both at this time are at risk as far as I can see. Especially if the community decides via a voting process. I personally would rather see the Cys stop completely then to have to deal with making choices in matters like this. Either 2 decisions are going to cause pain and frustration for one group or the other:( antigoneNov 8, 2002, 1:28am
Ya gots a group of people that are willing to take on organizing 2 seperate
awards?:) bowenNov 8, 2002, 1:35am

Hardly. Teens are not the entirety of underaged people. If I'm not mistaken, there
are a great number of community members who also loathe the gor and other adult based themes/worlds. If we're going to use the Oscar example, like Rick said, X rated movies aren't allowed into them. Slaves in the true gorean sense (I don't care about the "we're not like that" routine) are considered part of the bondage theme, which is adult. Don't segregate things that don't violate ratings (to protect them). But do segregate things that could be offensive to almost everyone given their nature. --Bowen-- linn ironhead@digitalpassage(dot)comNov 8, 2002, 1:39am
I don't recall anyone saying just one group had to do this I realize
last time was confusing to say the least but there are other pal who can do this too [View Quote] elykNov 8, 2002, 2:03am
The whole time I have been working for CitBingo, I have never seen anyone
talk like that there. Besides, there is a host there almost all night who watches.....I doubt that ever happened. [View Quote] elykNov 8, 2002, 2:08am
If it was a conversation, then I'm sure one of the hosts would have taken
care of it. If someone came into CYAwards and was talking like that, then I'm sure one of the members of CY would bring it to their attention that it is not allowed. On the other hand, if you are promoting adult content, it is much different, because it is the committee who is promoting the content. Conversations are a little bit uncontrolable unless someone is monitoring, which Citbingo does. [View Quote] elykNov 8, 2002, 2:10am
I think two seperate CY Awards would solve this problem for everyone
actually, so I agree on that. If we could have one CY Award for "family" ("G"-"PG") and one for Adults ("R"-"X") then it just might solve the problems ...*G* ;o) [View Quote] sw chrisNov 8, 2002, 2:23am
It _doesn't_ have to be one or the other. I would personally give the adult
themed worlds another CY Awards ceremony. Why? Because their content promotes a lifestyle that kids can't be a part of. In a G and PG rated CY Awards, _everyone_ can enjoy the Cys as long as their _content_ is appropriate. Do you guys understand this? Please consider that point of view, because that is the correct way to look at it. Adults will not be excluded from a family-friendly Cy Awards, but kids _will_ be excluded from an adult-themed CY Awards. [View Quote] antigoneNov 8, 2002, 2:36am
Any chance you would be interested in helping out if things go that way?
And that's a serious question ok? Not being fecisious:) antigoneNov 8, 2002, 2:38am
Want to run this idea past ya'll:)
What if an adult world person who has their entrys in an adult world were to have a world to display their entry in where no r or x rated displays or chat were present in the display world? sw chrisNov 8, 2002, 2:58am
What about them, indeed? Create a different website? And call the award
something else? Maybe keep the same name? Whether you decide to create two awards or choose one or the other, my arguement still stands. SW Chris [View Quote] sw chrisNov 8, 2002, 3:00am
Such worlds would be minimal in number, at best. That would double the cost
since one would be maintaining both worlds. Then again it might just prove more economical just to not allow that kind of stuff in one's world. But that's just me being fecisious. :) Bad joke? Perhaps. Chris [View Quote] linn ironhead@digitalpassage(dot)comNov 8, 2002, 3:40am
