A couple of other things I'd like to raise that I believe fit into this discussion:
The site rules are very clear on two things: no rooms that encourage illegal activities, and no references to minors in usernames.
The first has been the subject of much debate and resulted in a change to the rules for rooms referring to certain articles of clothing because of some of the types it attracts (who are in the minority). However there are established BDSM rooms hosted, and those for dogging and cruising. Whilst I agree with the reasoning behing preventing the former, the latter demonstrates the issue is not being handled consistently.
I'm a firm believer in the rights of the individual to participate in any consentual act providing it does no harm to anyone else (e.g. BDSM) but it is nevertheless illegal. This inconsistency causes confusion for members.
With regard to minors, this rule clearly isn't being enforced and there appears to be no simple way of unacceptable nicknames being dealt with. Just take a look in any chatroom and you'll find plenty of people with "boy", "lad", "girl" in their names (most of which are middle-aged).
My second point is regarding Ops. I believe the process for applications and acceptance criteria should be more transparent. There are plenty of people who appear to be suitable for the post and we are desparately short of them. Those who already hold this position do an excellent job for the most part and I hope would welcome additional help.
Having been through the application process twice without success I'm still at a loss as to exactly how it works. I have no desire to apply again but I'd hope that something better could be put in place to deal with applications.
Perhaps the site Admins should consider some sort of buddying scheme or monitored probation period to attract more people.
After my friend told him he was out of order we were both told to go elsewhere if we didn't like SH's rules
