Sexy pictures, violent avatars and (ok, far-fetched) stories. - spec - 06-09-2009

Depends on where you watch TV. Watch TV in the UK - there are no harsh/swear words/nudity before 8pm I think, where as down under, you get to watch Sex and the City at 12 noon and if you switch on the radio, there are sex adverts.....
BTW, Australia is officially the coolest place for Radio - Anything goes !
' Wrote:To be honest, I don't get the whole fuzz about the sexy signatures or cursing in roleplay threads ect. Even though there's 12 year old's on the server. What do you think they see on TV? Happy bunnies bouncing around? There's more sex in a music video clip than there is on a soft porn website these days, and more swearing in some movies and series than on the '10 words that you don't say on the radio' list. If they're gonna 'pick it up', itt'l probaply be on the streets, in the schools or on the television.
It is sad, but Very true.

Spec, no idea what you're on about, the watershed vanished years ago... I've heard many words we would get banned for on evening tv.
As for swearing etc, I kinda agree that it's not really nessisary. While I do wish some people would get thicker skins when it comes to inRP insulting. Only reaction it should be prompting is your character's.

I dislike those advertisements, especially the piano one. They really manage to annoy me.

Quite, and I've done my best to become schizophrenic. Well, more MPD. Each of my characters boots me out of my head and takes over during RP. PvP it's me.
It's...kinda strange, really. Stranger to explain it.
I do agree that sigs, avatars, and such should be kept decent, stories though generally have warning tags.

' Wrote:Spec, no idea what you're on about, the watershed vanished years ago... I've heard many words we would get banned for on evening tv.I was just comparing UK TV with Oz tv... It's much mellowed down in UK, the TV standards board/Ad board is quite strict on the programming.
Top gear for example - The max they can get away with is Bollocks and probably James fav - Cock ! and that's just because it's an Animal....
Not the same here mate:)
' Wrote:I dislike those advertisements, especially the piano one. They really manage to annoy me.Aaarghh the piano... btw, I don't think anyone's that talented... amazing... heheheh
but it's not just the ads - it's govn't propaganda as well - did you see the anti-drink ads targetting teens ?
In one of the ads you can clear see the girl removing her *Ahem* down... and someone taking a photo..
The Radio is worse with ads - I believe one was - For improving 'performance' during 'interaction'.....
yeah right.. wants me to buy their merchandise at 08:00 in the morning while I'm driving !

Hmm. I dunno, I don't really have a problem with violent and sexy images overall, but that is just me. I agree that we have to set certain standards for the forums though. But then again, as Exile says, you see worse on tv and in newspapers etc. Or even just a standard google search.

@RedCancer, I think you got your answer by now. BTW, how can anyone with "cancer" in their name bitch about offensive content.....
Yeah and I agree with n00blet, those stupid sex ads (esp. the piano) get right up my nose. Ever watch free-to-air after midnight? It's atrocious. Not that I'm some kind of prig, but there's only so many ridiculously fake Brazilian or Russian accents one can take. Eejits.

Or the billboards on the way to work, advertising the same thing? *Sighs.*

I too agree with myself. Noted.
(Oh yes, those accents are terrible.)

' Wrote:True, but we have 12 year olds on the server.Two things.
That's also an undeniable reality.
Oh, and must I remind you all that showing pornography to minors is considered a crime?
1) The game itself is rated teen, so it's not exactly our fault if a 12 year old is playing here.
2) If it's outright porn, it's not allowed here for obvious reasons. Scantily clad women don't qualify as porn, and it's not exactly like you can't see much of that anywhere else...

I honestly think people need to learn to loosen up. From a very young age we're taught that sex is wrong and dirty, but violence is a necessity to keep the peace (and from what I've seen in my very short 15 years on this earth, oil). I was using the F word in the company of friends as young as 9 or 10 or so, and I don't see me being labeled as "Ignorant" or "Unrefined". What matters is not the word, but rather the context it's used in.
ie; Calling somebody an "Ignorant F" is a lot different than saying "I don't give an F" or, god forbid "F me!".
Besides, Freelancer has an ESRB rating of T, right? Therefor we must assume that everyone playing the game is that age or something very near to it, not to mention the difficulty of finding this forum in the first place and installing the mod (FLMM hates me, I don't know about the rest of you.)
I know my opinion probably won't be very popular here, but that's just my two cents.
