Content Creation What topics are not allowed in your forum?

[Heatman]

Most forums don't allow porn contents except for few of them that have adult section for mature discussion.

Aside from not allowing porn contents to be published in your forum, what other kinds of contents do you not allow to be posted even though they will boost traffic and discussions?

Just the usual. If it breaks the forum software's TOS, it's not allowed. If it's just spam/trolling/flaming, it's not allowed. I don't disallow specific discussions on my board whether it's religion or politics, but I can always close a topic if it gets too heated.

I am pretty laid back when it comes to topics that can be discussed on a forum I own or help run but there are a few things I will not tolerate..

Anything illegal
Certain topics such as politics or debates unless done in a specific forum for those topics and rules are followed.

Abuse, trolling, bullying and flaming are also something I am completely against.

My forums are family friendly forums, and I use Adsense so I do not allow NSFW content. On my niche forums, the posts need to be strictly on niche as I do not have a section for off topics.

Adult-rated topics (including adult activities) or anything illegal.

I also don't allow people who constantly post negative and toxic content. Those people will turn my mood into a bad mood so I'd rather not have to deal with them at all.

I think this is very important. If you have people who post negative content, the will create a toxic environment in the community. There is already a lot of problems in the real life, why should we corrupt our virtual environment.

Yep - and it puts me in a bad mood. When I visit my forum, I get a feeling of strong excitement and happiness as if dopamine takes over. I'd hate to visit it and leave with a frown.

My forums are pretty laxed, but I don't allow adult content on them. If I ever do have a 18+ section, it's blocked off from guests and anyone not part of a certain group. Also of course any type of hatred towards a group of people isn't allowed.
