As im now 16, I am allowed to discuss romantic relationships in my journal (IRL relationships/crushes that is). And if so, should I spoiler it due to those under 16? Of so how do I spoiler a post
Please correct me if im wrong.

Being 16, you can discuss romantic relationships freely in your journal or elsewhere.

My comment in shoutbox regarding not doing it with pups was meant more like.. don't have conversations with pups on romantic topics in shoutbox, etc. Obviously this also applies to not making journal content on romantic relationship topics that involve pups on TG.

Thanks for clarifying

Not trying to start an argument, just PLEASE don't make this about sex, especially since this rule is specifically or pups. It's weird and kind of creepy that sex was the first thing that popped to mind when you read this.

Tdae, this really isn't about sex... you can have a romantic relationship without any sexual stuff, and I have yet to see any sexual stuff on here, even with the number of romantic relationships.

for some reason i feel like i played apart in making this become a rule..
other than that this is a really god idea, I've seen way to much drama about relationships here and have gotten quite tired of it

I'm about to remove my "mates" section on my signature after I post this ^^

Understood, Dusty. I'll remove it from my bio right away.

I honestly like this idea. I have lost a few friends over these topics even when trying to explain to someone that TG is an educational place.. Thank you Dusty.

We would prefer that part to be omitted, until you are at least 16.

As mentioned in the staff journal beforehand, the goal is to not have these topics come up while discussing stuff with friends on TG, that way we can also prevent the drama that comes from it. This means removing the conversations about it from this place as much as possible. So... signatures too.
