Subject: Posting Links on the Chat Boards

Posted by: romeomikegolf
Date: Oct 05 09

Over the last few weeks I have had to remove several links to Youtube because of unsuitable content on the page linked to. Please be extra careful when linking to another site. Please check the whole page that opens and listen to any words/songs to ensure the content is suitable.

Don't mean to sound disrespectful, but if the link goes to a different website, what does it matter what the content of the page it's linked to. How would that affect FT?

Most parents with young children probably know what I'm going to say.

Because we allow children aged 13 and over to have their own, unsupervised, accounts we have a duty to protect them from obscenity whether on the site directly or on sites that they link to from FT. If we allowed links that led to sites containing adult material we would be failing in that responsibility.
I would have thought it was obvious.

Does this include all posts made on the video link?

Anything on the page that is linked to is included. The last one I deleted had several obscenities in the posts if you scrolled down just a few lines. We can't expect you to check every other page, but as long as the page linked to is 'clean' we'll allow it.

I would add that links to site which are 'commercial' in that they offer goods for sale is also a no. Yes, some get past us but we remove links when we become aware of them.

We are not here to provide free advertising for companies.

I would have thought that this was just common sense. Funtrivia makes it clear that this is a family site.

Usually, the actual video from the link is 'clean', but the comments made about it, are not. I'm always surprised at the things people post.

I am sure that I am not alone in being thankful for your diligence Romeomikegolf.

I have a 13 year old daughter who plays here. I am happy that it is a fun and educational place for her and she is proud to have her own account that she can pursue unsupervised.

I love that I can relax while she is visiting this site.

Thank you for the information, Sue & RomeoMikeGolf. I have posted several links to Youtube videos on here in the past but I never thought to look at the other stuff on the video pages! I'll make sure I check it out before posting any more links.(not that I post them very often, anyway!)Being a parent myself, I can completely understand the whole point in this! :)

The reason I love this site so much is that all that sort of muck isn't allowed in here. It IS a family site after all.

What happens to members when they deliberately ignore this warning?
