Erroneous 0 Posted January 4, 2014 #1 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 It would seem some users like to post some mature thinking stories and subjects. For example gore, blood, intense, lewd, and otherwise shocking fictional writings to further expand on their character and universe. Obviously this type of content won't be viewable or accessible publicly but rather locked in a password protected section where those who've accepted the terms and policy of said locked section may use it for their purpose. Should a section exist? Link to post Share on other sites
Crim 0 Posted January 4, 2014 #2 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 well, i think the nature of whats actually happening in the RP would naturally result in said descriptive words in today's culture XD. However, we need to keep a PG-13 thing about the forums because not everyone is of the "age" where there parents would like to see F-bombs all over the place... PG-13 now days in the film industry have at most a hand full of cursing. In a forum sense, maybe 1-3 per post. However, some of us can't hold back so maybe create an adult version of the floors for those of age? If not, then just have people use a censor like F*** and let people fill in there own blanks :P Link to post Share on other sites
Kay 0 Posted January 4, 2014 #3 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 When I discussed this with shark and zero in the gm forum I think we just need to set boundaries. Kissing, snuggling should be fine. Swearing we can filter ourselves and like Crim said let others fill in the blanks. Beyond that we should just block most things. What do others think?

Shark 0 Posted January 5, 2014 #4 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Agreed. SAO never had separate servers for those under age or over the age. I think that something should be put in the user agreement that profanity shouldn't be used due to the appreciation for others, or something like that. If I'm out ruled the a separate section should be created but all in all I think 1 should be fine as long as everyone shows some courtesy to other players. Link to post Share on other sites
skr975 0 Posted January 5, 2014 #5 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I think that a user agreement should be made whereby if a person agrees to view and use profane/ illicit words then he could view all sections. If a person disagrees then he will be allowed to view only some contents. So basically, we should make a separate section for PG-13, as many users could be underage. In SAO, I don't think I really saw anyone underage, I mean under the age of 13. Link to post Share on other sites
Shark 0 Posted January 5, 2014 #6 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 In the anime, there was the church in the Town of Beginnings that was full of children that looked to be underage. I just feel that the users should be smart enough to know how to govern themselves appropriately. Link to post Share on other sites
Zero 0 Posted January 5, 2014 #7 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I have to be honest when I say that many of my characters use profanity and lewd like behavior -points at Siren- so I would agree that a separate section should be made. Link to post Share on other sites

Shark 0 Posted January 9, 2014 #9 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 None whatsoever. I guess in the long run, this will help. Let's go for it and see how it turns out. If we find any issues, then we can start working on them as soon as we can. Link to post Share on other sites
skr975 0 Posted January 10, 2014 #10 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Sure. I hope this will be a good decision. Link to post Share on other sites
Erroneous 0 Posted January 10, 2014 Author #11 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Should it be a seperate section locked or have the topic starters add a tag that says mature? Link to post Share on other sites
Aoife 0 Posted January 10, 2014 #12 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'd like to say something. That is, if I may. Delete this post otherwise. So, most people can fill in the blanks anyways. For example, I've been able to understand what curses are being said behind the censors at 7. The section should also be locked, not tagged. Most people never bother looking for tags of any sort, so they wouldn't realize it. I've said what I wanted, so, yeah. Link to post Share on other sites
Shark 0 Posted January 10, 2014 #13 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Well you have made a good point. However, as of right now, I believe it has been decided that we are going to create a separate section for the users of age. Only those people/ accounts will have access to that section of the site.

Zelrius 0 Posted January 13, 2014 #14 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Yes. Kids should know that for a Website for Anime which is generally watched by 14+ that there is infact, Going to be some cuss words and inappropriate content. It's not like it maters anyways, 9 year olds can watch Scary movie 5 so i's not immensely different Link to post Share on other sites
Zauis 0 Posted January 13, 2014 #15 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 It does matter but at the same time it doesn't. There are tons if underage kids that curse more than grown ups do. It's really the generation their growing up in that's got them this way. Nothing more. Link to post Share on other sites
Zelrius 0 Posted January 13, 2014 #16 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I agree with Zau. There are Children who's parents won't let them watch CN because of the word "Damn" and then there re parents who couldn't care less if you cussed them out. Link to post Share on other sites
Atenea 0 Posted February 20, 2014 #17 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Coming into this late, so sorry for doing a necro on it! But, has this section been created? How would one apply for it after it is done? Link to post Share on other sites
Ren 0 Posted February 21, 2014 #18 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Coming into this late, so sorry for doing a necro on it! But, has this section been created? How would one apply for it after it is done? I'm curious what do you have in mind. Link to post Share on other sites
Atenea 0 Posted February 21, 2014 #19 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'm curious what do you have in mind. Well, seeing as the site could be held accountable if there was any hint of a minor in a sexual situation (since most-if not all servers tend to frown upon such a thing and tend to take harsh punishments toward forums with such content) there should be a strict process through which a player interested in playing such content needs to go through. We all know that systems can be fool, but perhaps badges could be created and those forums could be hidden from younger users sights if need be (like others have already mentioned). A specific site I am a member of has a strict application process for the adult forums. That could be an answer? Perhaps a bit tedious, seeing as the Admins would need to make sure that those who they are giving access are actually able to proof that they have the necessary age requirements to join such a thing? Or it could be made fade to black? Not necessarily descriptive, but players can try to flirt and tease, while keeping the tone light and still marking said threads as Mature or PG 13. If a thread where to break such a rule, immediately it gets close and taken down? Link to post Share on other sites
Erroneous 0 Posted February 21, 2014 Author #20 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 so sorry for doing a necro on it! No worries, no time like the present. But, has this section been created? Before my currently reply, no it was never setup. How would one apply for it after it is done? By asking for the password to a locked section. I'm curious what do you have in mind. http://freakinanchovies.ytmnd.com/ Well, seeing as the site could be held accountable if there was any hint of a minor in a sexual situation It obviously won't be accessible by guest viewers who don't have an account, and it wouldn't be accessible by those with an account who don't know what the password is. there should be a strict process through which a player interested in playing such content needs to go through. I don't think anyone has the time or resource to do this, not to mention the creepy factor of learning the privacy details of an individual such as A/S/L, demographics, personal private information like names and addresses. I think it should be lax and clear to the point. Much like a fire alarm, this is a fire alarm, you pull it when there's a fire, that is all, *walks away*. There shouldn't be a screening process such as name, age, location, experiencing using a fire alarm, list two people references, notarize this document, seal in a sealed envelope, take it and process and file it under who gives a flying! We all know that systems can be fool And they will. A specific site I am a member of has a strict application process for the adult forums. That could be an answer? Perhaps a bit tedious, seeing as the Admins would need to make sure that those who they are giving access are actually able to proof that they have the necessary age requirements to join such a thing? Pretty much I feel it will be a ask and receive basis, and by accepting this password you acknowledge our terms for allowing you said section and thereby agree you feel you are of age (no age stated or required) and that the site will not be held liable for what words, actions, or intent that goes on behind this non-public section that is only available to those who also agreed to these terms. And that you also agree to never share or public state what the password is and violations will have your password taken away and removed permanently from said section. By having and using said password is proof of your own consent to the terms. Or it could be made fade to black? Not necessarily descriptive, but players can try to flirt and tease, while keeping the tone light and still marking said threads as Mature or PG 13. If a thread where to break such a rule, immediately it gets close and taken down? Ain't nobody got time fer dat! Link to post Share on other sites
