madmanhoagy Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I am an 11yr old boy living in East Dulwich and I think the forum is great. I mentioned it to some of my friends and they thought it would be great to have one for the kids of East Dulwich. Do you think this is a good idea and could the makers of this website give me any tips if I decide to make it?:))Thanks;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1695-east-dulwich-forum-for-kids/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 We are thinking about having a parent + child section as there seems to be quite a few discussions about schools, East Dulwich NCT classes etc but we just haven't got round to it yet, would that be good idea?A seperate kids forum is a good idea but it would need to be more strictly moderated than here, but please feel free to drop me a Private Message (PM) and I'll help someone set it up.

Michael Palaeologus Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Hate to be a misery, but having a kids forum could draw the attention of those whose aim is to groom rather than befriend. It would need some very close moderation and would still be open to abuse.

mockney piers Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Mike!!don't get all south london pres on us. I think it's a great idea. I think it'd be interesting to see what the younglings have to say, especially as they have a significantly lower incidence of chipshoulder than the grownlings.We can't let blimmin' scaremongering get in the way.But yes, it would need careful moderation Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1695-east-dulwich-forum-for-kids/#findComment-46933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChavWivaLawDegree Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Definately not - they should be running around instead of spending hours sitting in front of a computer Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1695-east-dulwich-forum-for-kids/#findComment-46972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanhoagy Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 If you can spend hours on the computer then why can't we? Isn't your childhood supposed to the time when you can have fun? Anyway adults are supposed to have jobs which stop them from posting annoying comments on forums, you seriously need to get one. Also with all the traffic around nowadays lots of parents don't let thier kids out alone (including me) especially as a girl i know got run over and nearly died.

Because we said so. Now go to your room.Personally I think it's a fine idea. It will prepare children well for their adult working lives (ie surfing the web and cyber-chatting whilst the boss is looking the other way) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1695-east-dulwich-forum-for-kids/#findComment-46979 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeckhamRose Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 And one for motorcyclists.Seriously though.I think it's a bad idea to have a separate forum. We're all in this world together. The kids can access ours to see the crap we come out with and learn from it and we can access theirs to see they're spelling p a w n correctly. Good for the kids who thought of this idea though, see? I love kids!ChavWivaLawDegree Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> and one for chavs Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1695-east-dulwich-forum-for-kids/#findComment-47039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Bob* Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Perhaps the forum should have 'junior members' - with their names highlighted in a different colour? Otherwise someone might unknowingly have an pop at them, only to discover they're only 11. Registration under a certain age to require consent of an also-registered adult. Private messaging to be disabled for members under a certain age.Everyone else who uses the forum can keep and eye out for anything untoward.

AnotherPaul Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 For kids, probably a good idea although bob is right, I would feel so bad launching into one to discover the recipient was 11.For parents a designated area would would thrive. Doesn't need a separate forum, parents aren't lepers.ap Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1695-east-dulwich-forum-for-kids/#findComment-47244 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mockney piers Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Ask them who sang "It's Raining Men". If they answer Geri Halliwell they're can register for the kids forum.Hmmm, rather given the game away now haven't I.

Ted Max Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I like the idea of a squad of 11 year olds handing it out on here and generally /pnwing everyone. Get a job. Move on. Get a life. I think we need to be protected from them, not the other way round.

*Bob* Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Well obviously, you can't, Ted.At the moment, nobody knows who or what anyone is. There may be six year olds posting away for all we know (it certainly seems so from some of the postings).

*Bob* Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Considering the constant 'child-free' whining that goes on here week to week, an incursion of under-agers would probably be the final straw.In which case - I'm all for it.

madmanhoagy Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 I reckon there should be a question whether you would like a kids or adults account. No paticular differences just to let people know. Only thing is i can't figure out a way to make them tell the truth. Any ideas?(?):-S(?)madmanhoagy(?):-S(?)

*Bob* Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Well, no-one here actually has to tell the truth about anything anyway. But (on the whole) those that don't either get sprung sooner or later, or just get bored after the novelty of causing a bit of a stir wears-off.If you're a child and you register as an adult, then you should expect your posts to be treated as adult posts - so I suppose that decision is down to you. If you're an adult who registers as a child, you're either a wind-up merchant (see above) or the kind of person your Mother warns you against talking to (disabling PMs should eliminate any threat - perceived or otherwise - on this score)I think it would be an interesting addition to the forum. Children are constantly 'spoken for' here.. it would be nice to here what they think with regards to the stuff which concerns them - for a change.
