There are many types of people who visit SH. Amongst whom are:
The genuine Swingers.
There are those who want to get into the Swinging Scene.
There are those who like simply participating in one of the Forums, but who don't want to go any further.
There are those who think that they can 'get laid' easily.
This list could be very large indeed, but for the sake of brevity I won't go on and on.
Each group can form cliques within their own small circle. Many may never meet each other, ever, on a personal basis.
Many do however, participate in Swinging, Swingers Parties, and go to Munches. These people develope friendships way beyond what can be achieved simply by 'Posting'. This often results in changes in their 'Posts' especially when replying to 'Posters' they know personally, but to other Forum users they appear to be just another clique.
I personally have no objection to anyone joining SH, provided they obey the few rules that have been made for the smooth running of the site in general. But, there are others who come here with no idea at all about what Swinging is about. Their 'Posts' are frequently rude, crude and well out of order. In these instances it is quite right for the Moderators to slap them down and/or lock their posts.
If there was no moderation, this site would degenerate into mayhem, as has happened to numerous other Forums on other sites. Newbies are, in the main, welcome here, and many do contribute and therefore add something to this site.
These comments do not simply apply the the various sections of The Forum but also to the Chatroom. If you think the moderators are hard in the Forum, see what the SyOps do in the Chatroom to the unruly and bad mannered.
If people just read and followed the rules of this site, it would save a lot of critisism from other members, and a lot of hard work for the Moderators and System Ops.
With any job, club, society or social group you join, it does take a little time to settle down and get into the 'swing of things'. (excuse the pun). If you cannot 'go with the flow', when you first come here, try to adapt to the way things are. If you have difficulty in doing so. Well, thats life, I suppose.

Still amusing tho'.
Hells Teeth,
Whatever happened to tact and diplomacy, not to mention politeness. I couldn't see the 'Fat Slags' out of VIS magazine replying positively to that. Whatever do they learn at school these days.

Despite my venerable age, I have never actually owned a mini, I did drive a mini van on odd occasions during the 1960's. Knees around my ears it was so small.
Having said that, the nicest mini I have ever seen was that worn by DebsUK at the Midlands Munch last weekend. lol. Not so much a mini, as a pelmet cover. Wow.

Hello DJohn,
The New Scientist was mentioned as the source of this information in the AOL report.
Whilst I, and I hope every member of Swinging Heaven, believes that all paedophiles should get their ' just deserts' under the full weight of the law. The article states over 100,000 of these bots have been sent out. Therefore a large number of chatrooms must have been visited on numerous occasions, possibly including ours.
Not being a computer whizz, I am wondering if there is any way these bots can be detected? We have an 'Adult Chatroom' which is, in the main, a very friendly place to visit. The rules and indeed the system itself automatically bans anyone entering the room with the words: boy, girl, and child in their nickname, but beyond that the SyOps have to use their own judgement as to the age of any particular room visitor.
We do not want genuine members being frightened off, by the thought that they are being watched by Big Brother.

Hi Steveg,
Munches are addictive, have you put out a health warning? I'll be there, even if I have to walk. Just the thought of meeting up with some of the ladies who were at the Midlands Munch is more than enough incentive to be there.

Don't think your getting all the ladies to yourself mate.
Having viewed numerous thousands of postings since joining Swinging Heaven some years ago, may I point out a few items that may make your post more readable by others. Please bear in mind that the majority of swingers are in the 30+ age range and have had a good education by modern standards.
Please try and construct your sentences in plain English, not local slang or phone text.
Form sentences.
Punctuate your words correctly.
Form paragraphs.
Spell words correctly.
I appreciate that there may be some people who have difficulty seeing words correctly and that others may not have paid enough attention to lessons at school. However, with the aid of Word, WordPerfect or any other similar document producing programme, you can write out your 'Post' or advertisement first. Then check it for spelling and punctuation errors, prior to cutting and pasting it into one or more of 'The Forum' rooms.
A well written 'post' is far more likely to be read, than one with numerous errors, or which is produced as a thirty line block of letters with no punctuation or paragraphs. We all make mistakes, but there is no need to compound the error, when there are simple ways of avoiding or correcting them.
Please try typing your message out in one of the word processing programmes first, and count how many errors the spelling and grammar checking part of the programme picks up on. I do realise that many spell checking programmes are based on American English and a few errors may creep in here and there, but overall, it should improve your 'post'.

Having written the above straight into a posting box, I bet there are a few faux pas.
