I used to belong to a womens only support forum, note WOMENS ONLY. Unfortunately the moderators were only there from 8pm to 12pm, other times we were on our own. The crap we had to put up with while the moderators were away was awful. Men would join making lewd suggestions and played on the fears that we were there to get support for. I eventually left that particular forum. Not enough moderation.
I feel that Ice In Space is a safe place for me to frequent. The gentleman and ladies that are here are well mannered and don't mind a bit of fun. I like that. I wouldn't go along to our overnight get togethers if I didn't feel safe.
I concider this my online home away from home. But sometimes the other family members here can get a bit naughty and cheeky. Discipline is sometimes necessary, and a 12 hour ban might be an alternative to a total ban. I mean if your kids are naughty, you don't toss them out of home completely do you? Some time spent in coventary to think over their misdeeds usually does the trick and doesn't leave any permenant bitterness behind.
