31. I'd allow sex threads and encourage copycats.

I'd encourage sex threads. Lots of them. I'd start a sex thread forum. People who don't post nekkid pix when they tease that they will, are immediately granite cookie'd.

Philboy, HynoToad, Rabrrrr, and sniffa would be my deputies. SPK, Ohiosmith, Rug, DS1, and Dick Steele would have the run of the place.

And every night would be ladie's night. With nekkid pix. Sorry, those are the rules and the reasons why this shall not happen. And should not be allowed to happen. Don't give a 12-year-old the keys to the kingdom.

51. I would do nothing but delete and lock copycat threads.

I've been a member for a while and never saw a copycat thread I liked - or even thought was funny. If I had the power to shut them down, that's all I'd have the time to do. You guys could run any other thread you liked and violate all sorts of DU TOS in the other threads, because if they weren't copycatted I'd be too busy to even read them.
