Where kids are present, I change my behaviour, yes, To an extent.
For example if I'm smoking, waiting for a bus or whatever, and a parent then stands next to me with their child, I will move away. The parent made the choice to stand next to me but it's still not necessary and so I decide to move away.
However, and this is the main one that comes to mind, where there are kids in the pub with their parents I don't change my behaviour. I suppose that I do in some ways, it's unavoidable, but I have had someone ask me to watch my language before and my response was not completely mature, to say the least. If you don't want your child subjected to bad language and adult conversation, don't bring them to the pub where it's almost an absolute certainty that people will be drinking, swearing and having conversations that are not exactly child-friendly.
My point, basically, is that where we are aware that we do have younger members here it
is worth bearing in mind. there are still gonna be comments directed towards these members that, because of their age, could be deemed inappropriate and so it's probably best to be aware. However, generally speaking, it isnt our responsibility, nor is it all possible for it to be, to change our attitudes, content and behaviours because there could potentially be young members here. If parents dont want their children to be using certain community, networking or forum sites like this one then they are responsible for monitoring what they are doing on the net. Plus, lets face it, the age-related security of porn sites is no different to this one. At least here you have to register an account to use it. There are far bigger potential issues for parents and their childs internet usage than Music Banter.
