Quoted from alveolus:

The problem would be the innumerable legit threads that will have the random t&a posts. It would be very difficult for moderators to police this themselves I think. It would probably require self-policing with punitive consequences to keep "public Pinside" clean.
It would be interesting if there were a way know how many potential Pinside users have been "run-off" as a result of the pockets of general adult and sexist content of Pinside. There is certainly merit to the discussion.

Quoted from wayner:

This would be a mechanism for the do-gooders to give the kiss of death to anything that even remotely counters their narrow social views.

Quoted from cosmokramer:

I did'nt even know who Bowen was until I googled his name....I play pinball at my house and on location, I don't give a shit about tournaments or expos.....he is just another pinsider, no more no less
