Censorship

[vegeta rocker]

What do you think about the lifting of censorship around here?

No real reason, just thought i would see how the rest of you felt. Personally it bothers me, but thats just me. I guess i am just not used to seeing cursing used on OB.

[color=#707875]There is no lifting of censorship.

Censorship rules are still very much in place. The [i]only[/i] lifting of censorship relates to RPGs, Sparring and Events. Or in other words, creative writing.

I have absolutely no intention of allowing people to use coarse language during regular discussion.

I made this very clear in my Announcement on the subject...so I would urge you to read those Announcements carefully.[/color]

I know it only goes for creative writing, thats what i was refering to. Thats what i was refering to, lifted was too strong a word. I guess changed would work better. I wasn't trying to say you have given members free reign James. I have always admired how you enforced your rules.

I just meant the changes, i was curious how some people felt about the slight change.

[color=#707875]Well...we've already had a couple of large threads on this subject. I don't know what else can be achieved, in terms of asking for opinions.

When we had a fan fiction site, we never censored what people wrote there. And as I said, if people want to make mature RPGs...they'll be treated by adult standards (ie: they'll be expected to show fantastic English, excellent grammar, etc). I think that's reasonable.

Hopefully that will come through a bit more as time goes on.[/color]
