I’m looking for an explanation as to why moderator "Sophia Thomas7" locked my thread on Apple and slapped me with a warning. There wasn't a single insult or any rule-breaking involved, so what gives?? I'm demanding this thread be unlocked immediately... It seems like if a moderator just doesn't personally like a topic, they shut it down right away. Is that really the job description? Just locking threads because they don't like them for moral reasons or whatever else?

You're talking about having sex with a 15-year-old girl. Do I really need to explain why I locked it?

I love how you "demand" things. The answer is no.

Moderators don't just exist to police the peace; they also manage subforums, which I guess gives them the authority to lock threads they deem inappropriate.

The 'request' is denied.

Look, you clearly have eyes, so you jumped to the conclusion that I'm talking about sex with a 15-year-old. What’s the issue if I'm not breaking any laws?

I am not violating any criminal statutes or any other laws because in the US, relationships with someone 14 or 15+ are legal... she's 15, and that's exactly why I'm looking for an admin or anyone else in charge to unlock this thread, because locking it was totally unjustified!

If I've supposedly violated some moral code, then go ahead and lock all those cheating/infidelity threads on Apple too!

Are the rules here supposed to apply to everyone equally, or what?

Look, I'm the one in charge here, and I've already said no.

That’s a total cop-out. As an admin, you actually need to answer my question: WHAT IS THE ACTUAL REASON FOR LOCKING THIS THREAD IF I DIDN'T BREAK A SINGLE RULE?

If a moderator's own little moral dilemma is enough to shut down a discussion, then we have a massive problem with free speech on this forum. It’s pure inequality—some people get to run endless threads about cheating scandals on Apple, while others get silenced just for bringing up topics with slightly more "moral complexity" than that!

When a man in his thirties—and if that birth year in your handle is actually accurate—decides to spend his time indulging in these highly questionable discussions about the physique of a fifteen-year-old, you might finally realize just how inappropriate and borderline your subject matter truly is. Under the legal standards established back in the early 2010s, individuals aged fifteen are categorized as children rather than minors.

Furthermore, while sexual activity involving a fifteen-year-old isn't always a criminal offense in the US, that is certainly not a universal rule.

To illustrate, I will quote the statute:

"Sexual contact with a child older than 15 (up to age 18) is punishable by law if the perpetrator was in a position of trust, such as being responsible for the child's upbringing, education, care, or mentorship."

When you look at it through that lens, it becomes clear how much of a gray area this topic occupies. It feels less like a discussion and more like blatant trolling when an adult man arrives here, sounding quite aroused, talking about wanting to hook up with a girl who hasn't even fully developed yet. This kind of topic is entirely unacceptable and far too risky for any meaningful debate. We generally direct fifteen-year-olds toward teen support resources, yet here you are, an adult male, making these comments.
Additionally, it is hard to imagine any reputable media outlet that cares about journalistic integrity and decency allowing such cheerful, enthusiastic, or suggestive writing regarding an adult having sex with a girl simply because of her physical appearance. (And yes, that is exactly the tone you used.)

It isn't that you have some underlying issue or that you've raised a legitimate question; it seems as though you practically showed up here mid-arousal to write this.

I am stepping in because I was actually preparing to close this thread myself, though fortunately, a colleague was a bit quicker on the draw.

Jane Doe has already made her position very clear.

That is all.

The reason is simple: we don't allow discussions regarding pedophilia here. We aren't ever going to permit that kind of content on this platform.

The thread will remain closed.

It’s not accurate. You clearly didn't read the thread because if you had, you'd see I already mentioned that the name and years were just thrown together during registration. For the record, I'm quite a bit younger.

Everything is inappropriate—I swear I say this all the time—like those cheating threads where women just brag about how they screw their husbands. I'd never ban those, though; I'd just lock them down.

Look, get back to the actual point. That girl wasn't under my care, supervision, or any kind of guardianship. She wasn't placed in my charge by anyone; she chose to talk to me and came over on her own accord. In fact, she was the one begging for it.

So, you literally wrote yourself into a corner saying sex with people over 15 ISN'T ILLEGAL as long as there's no coercion, it's consensual, and there's no legal guardianship involved. By every single standard, my topic is completely clean.

I'm telling you again: legally, everything is above board. And let's be real, these days girls that age—and even younger—are losing their virginity left and right to older guys. This girl lost hers a long time ago and was practically throwing herself at me without me even asking.

So what exactly is the problem here?

I've laid everything out clearly, so show some respect (since I'm basically the one running this forum) and just unlock my thread!

For the millionth time, we aren't hosting a discussion about sex involving a 15-year-old. I don't care how much you argue that it should stay open; it’s getting locked.

We aren't doing it. Because that person is a 15-year-old child.
