But also the fact that "sex" is not under pregnancy may work too.</p> <p>Eta: you can only see subcatag in the title so nevermind. Intimacy would work best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613981 Mon, 05 May 2014 15:25:39 +0000 mrbee 1613981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: @CupQuakeWalk: We could create a separate board just for that. We already have a "Gender/Sex" board, so maybe a different word (like "Intimacy") would be less confusing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613957 Mon, 05 May 2014 15:13:26 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1613957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: this.</p> <p>I don't think we need an TMI category but there def needs to be a sex category because there isn't a place to yield all those qs. There are a variety of them from sex in a marital relationship, to sex pasts and more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613940 Mon, 05 May 2014 15:09:40 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1613940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think there should be a taboo or "naughty" board becauae sometimes I am tempted to ask ridiculously personal sex questions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613931 Mon, 05 May 2014 15:05:41 +0000 Crisark 1613931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think TMI is probably enough in the beginning of a thread but I don't hate the idea of a Taboo category either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613920 Mon, 05 May 2014 15:01:38 +0000 kjpugs 1613920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think just putting TMI in the subject if you're worried is sufficient. Then anyone squeamish can choose not to open it. I think all TMI posts would fall into another category (so feeding TMI's, sex TMI's, TTC TMI's, etc) so it would be hard to truly categorize. I think putting TMI or "TMI??" in the subject line warns people enough and I don't really see how it's different than selecting a TMI category for the post you're writing.</p> <p>I'm like you- I don't shy away from stuff! So I will probably be more likely to open TMI posts, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613918 Mon, 05 May 2014 15:01:23 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1613918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think just writing TMI is enough, personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613894 Mon, 05 May 2014 14:53:33 +0000 sorrycharlie 1613894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know it's a pain but I think putting TMI is the best bet. Sometimes I'll see, "...and we BD every day this week. Tmi sorry!" Or "I had the runs - tmi, sorry!" Or something equally as innocuous. I'm usually like, why is that tmi? LOL.</p> <p>To me detail is the tmi..ha. Describing words. Gag. Idk. But again that's just me, so I feel like there isn't one size fits all TMI tag..so if someone hid that board they may miss threads that they could benefit from if it's not as tmi as they consider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613871 Mon, 05 May 2014 14:47:56 +0000 pinkcupcake 1613871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally don't think a TMI board is necessary. If it's something that might make someone uncomfortable, I think a "TMI" in the title would suffice as adequate warning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613855 Mon, 05 May 2014 14:44:14 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1613855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: exactly! there are a lot of things like poop or cm that I know some people could do without but I also won't make gold because I want a broader amount of POVs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613851 Mon, 05 May 2014 14:41:52 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1613851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I guess I just sort of hate having to do that. </p> <p>Maybe it's just me though. I love the idea of an "anything goes" implication but maybe it's not worth a while category. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613838 Mon, 05 May 2014 14:37:20 +0000 spaniellove 1613838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Hahaha, sorry, I'm just picturing it (a post getting recategorized. Because one time one of my posts got recategorized (wasn't a big deal) but for the life of me I couldn't figure out what was going on. If I came back to my post and found out someone had labeled it TMI I would just be..."what"... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613832 Mon, 05 May 2014 14:35:30 +0000 Happygal 1613832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: this is my thought, too--TMI is very subjective. I'm a fan of keeping things simple, so I'm with @purplepeony: that you can click on things based on the title or not. </p> <p>@MrsMccarthy: I appreciate where you're coming from and your goal to make people feel more willing to share. I'm not sure if labeling something TMI would do that though. Is there another way you can think of to foster openness in an online community? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613772 Mon, 05 May 2014 14:16:24 +0000 pui 1613772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think putting "TMI" at the beginning of a post title is sufficient. I like the idea of a TMI checkbox though to make it sort of "automated" upon creating the post. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613761 Mon, 05 May 2014 14:12:31 +0000 BSB 1613761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: Oh, good point about gold. Yeah, I agree. My suggestion for the TMI checkbox was way before gold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613756 Mon, 05 May 2014 14:10:44 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1613756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: that's true. I think it would make more sense to post it in the diaper or your LOs health board and not in a TMI board. I just think a TMI board is a bit vague. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613743 Mon, 05 May 2014 14:05:57 +0000 Adira 1613743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: I don't really consider Gold for TMI things necessarily. For example, if I'm concerned about the color and consistency of my son's poop, I'd probably consider that TMI, but not make it Gold because it's not really something I care about keeping private! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613730 Mon, 05 May 2014 14:01:54 +0000 Smurfette 1613730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: I agree </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613726 Mon, 05 May 2014 14:00:34 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1613726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, that's what gold is for. If I'm going to post something tmi or personal I make the thread gold and then stick TMI in the title. I don't think a separate category is necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613718 Mon, 05 May 2014 13:58:52 +0000 PurplePeony 1613718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think there are too many categories as it is, soi think it's better for people to just click on things or not based on their own comfort level :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613716 Mon, 05 May 2014 13:57:27 +0000 mrbee 1613716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: sometimes people will add the letters "TMI" to the beginning of their thread title, so people know what's up before clicking in... would that do the trick? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613713 Mon, 05 May 2014 13:55:41 +0000 BSB 1613713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did suggest the idea of having a 'TMI' checkbox. If you are posting something that you think is a little TMI, that you could select that checkbox. </p> <p>Though, something that is TMI to one user could not be TMI to another user. So it would be hard to determine what is TMI?</p> <p>Is all sex talk TMI? I don't think so.</p> <p>Also, could someone be offended if certain thread was re-categorized into the TMI board. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-boards-taboo-boards#post-1613698 Mon, 05 May 2014 13:51:45 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1613698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm wondering if after reading the post about hiding boards of we might all benefit from a TMI category on here. I am such a raw person and I like to be open but I know for many that's what makes them shy away or find certain things distasteful. . I know we have had anything goes threads but I feel like tmi can be such a wide umbrella from Sex to bodily functions of us or our babies. I also wonder if a "Taboo" thread might benefit us when more controversial or touchy subjects are broached. Id love a place where i feel safer sharing certain things but also like to make people who are turned off feel safer. Would you a like this? </p>
