Why was this post fine http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/154018

 

When the one I posted with CENSORED nudity got deleted and I got a warning?

Maybe Age of Conan shouldn't even exist on this site since it's content can be considered pornography.

    No, but I sent a PM about it to the mmorpg staff some days ago and it still exists... and I highly doubt the a mod or two never seen it.

    Yeah, that's why the report feature exists. Mods don't generally respond to PMs. Mods do look at reported posts.

    Welcome to the rather schizophrenic moderation in these forums.

    Its no secret that AoC has some nudity. I guess the question I have is..what is the reason one needs to post links to pics about it?

    Because some people like to Report others for different reasons and have differing standards. So maybe the one who reported your posts hasn't seen this thread yet and thus, it was not reported.

    Such is the way of things here.

    It's no secret, but still it very closely resembles hypocricy featuring a game on a site with nudity/pornography while telling the community they can't post anything that about it. Your question is not the topic.

    site rated T for teen.  AoC rated M for 17+.

    really it is the minmal age to sign up is 13 due to legal reasons(illegal to knowingly track information of someone under 13 online).  though since every kid pretty much lies about that and since the "i'm 13+" waivers are a don't ask don't tell policy people expect it to be a bit lower than that.

    I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.

    So people can see them?

    I think people that get offended by nudity should be censored IRL.

     

    This is a sequence of characters intended to produce some profound mental effect, but it has failed.

    They usually are. Problem is, they try to do the same to everyone else.

    While mmorpg.com have the right to choose their content it seems a bit odd to me to feature a game and then ban some screen caps of it??? But the playboy art is a bit controversal so ok, taking those away is not a problem for me, actual screen shots is a different matter in my opinion. Thats weird, if AoC is rated as porn then the whole game should be taken off the site, otherwise what's the problem?

    Censorship is always a dangerous matter, if you start a bit then it is always easy to continue and take away more and more, just look on China.

    See, the solution is to censor them...

    "permanently"

    It got censored probably because this site is mainly an american site and americans isn´t adult enough to look at a couple of boobs. It´s a soo terrifying experience for them. Americans prefere bare-chested men ... or am I wrong? ;)

    HEY BUDDY, we Americans LOVE boobs.

    In fact, i think that we invented Boobs.

  • TerranahTerranah Member UncommonPosts: 3,575

    I think showing naked boobs is fine as long as we have a screenshot of a decapitation or dismemberment.  There should be balance after all.
