Changing the registration rules

[Loken]

People like their rules to be clear cut and simple and the only way that's possible for a rule like that is for a yes or no attitude. If it changes people will push it too far just because they can, and if it gets a partial restriction left on it people will complain that they didn't know what they were saying was excessive. The way it is now is for the best.

This has my full support. It's rather silly to restrict our characters from doing perfectly human things like swearing and having sex.

"Oh, yeah, I'm a grizzled, hard-core war-veteran space-pirate, but gosh-darned-it-golly-jee-willikers I could sure use a hug from a respectable young lady and maybe we can get married!"

Actually, there's nothing in the forum rules that keep a character from a habit of swearing or having sex. A character can be salty without breaking the swear rules & can be sexually titillating w/o being pornographic.

I think it's funny how we're in an environment where people are encouraged to use their imagination & yet many flat out refuse to exercise it with occasional claims of over restriction.

If someone finds themselves pissed that the rules restrict a characters freedom of expression, that's a personal lack of ones imagination & no ones fault but their own.

Having unnecessary regulations on post content restricts the range of tools a writer has to create characters and stories.

You don't need the guy to use the entire list of swear words in two paragraphs to be a good writer, nor do you need to actually be explicit with the sexual content.

I think those restrictions make us use your imaginations more to find appropriate ways to say so.

Instead of F- YOU, go SCREW YOU, FRAKK YOU, etc.

Seriously.

We have 048-128955785193202934 other ways to say F YOU in English, why do you insist on wanting the curse word one?

And if you absoultely MUST RP a sex scene, you can always use Skype, no? >_> Why MUST IT BE ON THE FORUMS?

It will never happen, sadly. Talking bets on how soon it takes to lock.

Why? What's the point to adding that sort of thing to a gaming forum when there are other places specifically for that which you can easily access?

Incredibly pointless, Spazzy. And there are actually A LOT of people here below the age of 18. And many of them don't want that kind of stuff here.

I think language should be restricted, but there should be crystal clear guidelines to keep people from inadvertently breaking the rules. It should also be enforced on a consistent basis. The reasons for having restrictions was said quite well by the 'Burg in post #9.
