Yeah good luck getting all the porn sites and sites with adult images etc out their to change to .xxx domains :erm: now how easy would it be to block all sites in one hit if they did that ;)

Re: New domains on the way?
 

So should *my* site have a .xxx domain? There's nothing "pornographic" on there (unless you have a very broad description), I just sell adult products *to* adults, why should I be tarred with the same brush as sites that advertise "see innocent teens taking 12" monsters"?

This is just an attempt by narrow minded individuals to try to block *anything* which *they* don't approve of.

Re: New domains on the way?
 

perhaps there should be 2 adult domains then ? .xxx and .adult

.xxx is for the xplicit stuff .adult for sites like ann summers etc

Re: New domains on the way?
 

Are there images on there which your steriotypical middle class parent wouldn't want their 8 year old daughter to see due to their adult nature?
If so, what's your URL? :naughty:

You are right though, there is a huge difference between a adultwear/marital aid retailer and a pr0n site.
Course in a perfect world, pr0n sites would always have been xxx. rather than www.
If this could actually be enforced, so that pr0n sites have to use xxx in their domain, then search engines could finally be used by ford escort drivers and potential NHS nurses

I'd go along with the .adult, or maybe have ratings, like .pg, .12A etc

Re: New domains on the way?
 

If your site has no pornographic material on it then why would your site be required to carry a .xxx domain marker? If they were to bring out the .xxx domain then I would expect there to be a set of guidelines provided that would categorise what should be given a .xxx domain and what should not.
The .xxx catergory should be held for sites providing access to pornographic material, sites that are created to provide materials suitable for adults would gain by having the .adult domain as it would allow those sites to be clearly segregated from the porn sites and therefor not be impacted by a filter that sets out to block xxx sites.

See the information in my profile!

Re: New domains on the way?
 

Because there are those who want *all* "adult" content to be .xxx

And you can bet your bottom dollar that the Moral Minority would be pushing for the strictest possible definition/ interpretation of those guidelines.

Re: New domains on the way?
 

thats why having multiple adult domains would be a good compromise

.xxx for porn itself .adult for adult and marital related goods etc you could take it further but i really dont see the need

Personally then i would block .xxx at the router and block .adult on the kidz comps only. That gives us the end users the choice to be able to block what ever with the greatest of ease and enjoy safer family surfing, while still being able to get to some of the fun stuff ;)
