No one is knocking the mods.

But griping over certain pics in a random pic thread? I've got a 5 & 2 year old as well and they both read from my lap too. I also like to help them read and I want them to know about their world and fun ways to see it.

But I use a little common sense and I don't teach my young kids to read in the Off-Topic section of a 4x4 website. I kind of understand that things get above a PG rating on a forum predominantly populated by guys, who like voice strong opinions and make off color comments every once in awhile. That's the big reason 99% of us read and participate in this section, not for the education purposes of small children.

My comments are not about a single picture, or the deleting of a certain picture. But there have been a few comments lately about toning things down for the kids. Well rather than shaping this section around the kids needs, wouldn't it be more beneficial for them to spend time doing something other than reading the Off Topic section of a 4x4 website?
