Incoming 200 foot penis, you know it's coming, trolls will be trolls, I can see it now, coming over the horizon I see this giant erect cock off a mountain face, my question is what's SOE going to do to prevent this or is it OK because it's landmark?
I'll be curious to see how they control player "creativity". I recall in Xyson players using their building, excavating abilities in just this fashion, heck there were entire camps of penises.

Omg, guess my son won't be playing landmark, I know this post sounds funny but I'm being serious this could be a problem if they just let us build what ever the players want as the video states lol

just off the top of my head, there will be a clause in the agreement you click on to play that will state that if you create vulgar or sexual, discriminatory things you will be perma banned..
course some people will try, but as forest gump said best: stupid is as stupid does.
Several full time, penis destroying game masters on at various hours of the day.
I truly do not think they understand the size of the situation. And bans? In a yet another silly F2P model? Good luck with dat!
Pun intended?
On a *slightly* more serious note, I would think as long as it's tastefully done it could be considered art. Zach Snyder got away with penis ships in Man of Steel (HAH!) after all, and there's the infamous 'penis hairdo' from that horrible Last Airbender live action film.
Edit: One could argue that those weren't intentional, but... oh come on! How the hell do you NOT see that during editing, really?
AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!
We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open. FEAR THE OLD BLOOD.
Eh, easy fix. Just create a 200 foot vagina to battle the penis. The penis will be spent after a couple of minutes.
Or so I heard...
Lol that's my fear, all it takes is one troll to make something of the sort and the whole server goes haywire with penises and vagina's, middle fingers, butt holes you name it lol.
I realize active moderation would be a solution, but what recent mmo have you seen with very active moderation, especially in a F2P title? (Think of all the gold seller spam most titles have that seems to run largely unchecked)

SOE has needs some sort of troll police.
They should just have a penis, vagina, and butt-hole server. They can just name it, Second Life. Oh wait, that's already been done.
This is going to be a problem, I mean look what the perves are making in minecraft with lesser tools ,landmark is minecraft on roids as far as building tools goes.
They said they would have people policing it, users can report it, and think they acted like they would have some kind of other system to maybe catch it....But in f2p, you cannot stop people from trolling. You can't stop them in p2p, but at least they would lose the game purchase amount, and most people do not dismiss $30-60 being lost to make a penis.
If your kid cannot survive the trauma of a penis statue, then you better take the internet/phones away from them. Not being a smart ass, but that is just the reality of computers today.
You don't need Landmark to bring the offensive to you.

Kids now days are more missed up then then we were when I kid that's for sure, I had to work hard and plot for my porn, it was like a heist lol, that took planing , like finding a mag or VHS video tape took work, weeks sometimes lol, I know what you are saying I already cought my 13 year old son on P$%nhub on his iphone, he had his phone taken away but I cant gound him forever, we live is different times and it's hard to keep tabs with all thats going on and the ease of info thanks to the internet.

I would hazard a guess and say that there would be a report function for anyone creating inappropriate stuff.
So are you expecting them to somehow wave a magic wand or you wont play?
The concerns you point out are pretty lame when compared to 99.9% of other MMO games out there with Guild and player names that are clearly intended to offend. Go stand in any Social Hub and turn on general chat in any semi popular MMO and you will see sexist, racist and whatever-ist names and chat you can stand.
I am sure that there will be a 200 foot tall fallic symbol, but you really can't expect someone else to protect you from something you willingly expose yourself too.
And honestly, if you don't want your child to play, then don't let them play.
Rather then doing that, why not make it a teachable moment and have a smart chat with your child and exercise the dieing art of parenting rather then asking for someone else to protect you and yours from something only you can decide is offensive or not.
And finally, a troll is not someone who does something that is unwise, or offensive. A troll is someone who starts a fight while appearing to be an innocent bystander, I wish people would stop calling everyone they don't agree with a troll.
players can build whatever they want, from sci-fi to horror to modern day themes. However, be mindful that anything inappropriate can and will be reported and removed.
I hope they give first time offenders 3 day bans
and permanent bans if they keep stroking their penis
I think the real problem is how there are only penises. If that were the case, then the land would be off balance.
There needs to be 300 foot vaginas for the 200 feet of penises. Gaping maws that people can call their homes when they walk in, and hear their own echoes off of the slimy incubators.
Of course nipples.
Write bad things that are done to you in sand, but write the good things that happen to you on a piece of marble
I think seeing a 200 ft penis in landmark would make me laugh. Sometimes those kinds of things, even if not appropriate, can make the game funny and more interesting.
Just don't let your child play if you're worried about this. Besides, there's plenty of other inappropriate things that are bound to take place, which I've seen countless times in multiplayer games- foul language, teabagging, humping things, etc etc
In the PC gamer article it was stated they could make a whole plot "disappear" like it was before it was claimed until the report is investigated. Good thing too. In this "Trollolol" era the worst thing to do is to ignore it. Like that ever works with annoying people.

Whew, thank goodness for this thread again. I was afraid I'd go a few days without the exact same concern being posted.
Lol that's my fear, all it takes is one troll to make something of the sort and the whole server goes haywire with penises and vagina's, middle fingers, butt holes you name it lol.
SOE has needs some sort of troll police.
Did they state on how they would handle this if this would ever arise? (no pun intended)

SOE already stated they will have a report system (when they announced Landmark)

You can only build on your plot. If you build a penis, no one can see your plot.
And there's no creative mode. Meaning you have to gather resources to build that penis that no one will see.
That is not true, you can wander around other peoples plots, just not build / destroy on them unless you have access.
