Goldlord1 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Clearly when you first agree to the Runescape ToS, it says 'No one under 13 may play'. Obviously that means that it is Teen rated (I know it is truely about the whole internet privacy and gathering of info on under 13 year olds) So, most teen rated games have a few curse words in them. Now when I say loosen to censors, I don't mean have NPC's cursing and everyone shouting [bleep] everywhere. I am meaning like let us say 'rl (Real Life), poop, crap, darn, damn, the very silly and not harmful curse words'. It gets really annoying when you send a message like. 'brb, gotta take a **** (poop/crap)' Even one day, I was talking to my real life friend on Runescape and was going to say 'Brb, gotta take a pee', well, I knew it would probably block 'pee' so, I put in 'p', here was the message 'brb, gotta take a *'. Now that is getting plain ridiculous. Many people will now say, There is people under 13 playing Runescape. YES I KNOW! Here is what Jagex should do if they remove the censors. Some mom of a under 13 person gets angry and sues Jagex. It won't even be a case. Jagex brings a copy of their ToS. Clearly stating if you are under 13 DO NOT PLAY. Bang, case closed.

Lord_K Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 This would improve the Runescape Community in many ways: - No more 'wood u b mi gf' (Hopefully :XD: ) - Less people running asking for Cape Emotes every 3 seconds - The community would increase to an IQ of 75, instead of the average 25 or so - A more mature and well behaved community Please post what you think or if you approve. How will relaxing the censor cause those 4 points to happen? People can now say crap so everyone will become mature, itelligent, they won't nag and will no longer want internet relationships? I don't see any connection... And IQ in theory has nothing to do with age and 75 isn't exactly good either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scootlaboot Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 i support this. If you choose your beliefs/lifestyle simply based on what your parents want, then you are a weak minded individual and are not even worthy of calling yourself a person.

Harrington Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I support... censor is waaaaay over supressive. "Ok, gl" comes out as "Ok **"... yeah coz GL is obviously a foul word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abyssalwhip Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Ive seen this 100s of times but they really should let us say words like piss,crap,damn and asÃÆââ¬Â¦Ãâá(this is even in an examine... jagex you damn hypocrites) Your name is "bet you fail", and you're starting a business with your mom? I'm not even going to touch that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doughnut Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I agree, the word sensor is overly [developmentally delayed]ed.

Tetsuya Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I support too. This game has the worst censor filters of any game I've played. Really stupid decision of Jagex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo_killer6 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 i agree its way too restrictive it doesnt allow ppl to fully express their oppinions. also i heard stuff 10x worsein school than a few "bad" words when i was 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowcheval Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The censor needs to be relaxed somewhat. When I say my name it comes out "Shadow***val" #-o Project Onyx Staff Writer. Stories, articles, and opinions, oh my! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everfreefire Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I would think that the least they could do is make it so that they don't block their own NPC and place names...It's rather hard to tell people who to talk to when you get "Awo*****" or something similar all the time.

Want_a_pie Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Yeh, they definitely need to revise the system, but I think if they did get rid of it completely, it would be chaos I already see enough people laughing at "sextant" and "cockatrice" ^ What is this?

Doughnut Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 And loosen up the censors on MSN Yahoo and AIM, why is that a bad thing to communicate with people outside of Runescape?

Goldlord1 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 If they don't loosen the censors then remove the 'Offense Language' rule. What is the point of that rule if all you say to them is 'You *****!" Last time I checked, * doesn't offend anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Lord Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 How come we can say jackoff and jack off/jerk off, but we can't say piss, damn, or crap? Damn you, Jagex! :lol: By the way 'S' is censored a lot, too. I've yet to see a 13+ that is offended by swearing that much, even if they don't like to swear anyways. I was on a mage pure in F2P: Me: I'm poor as hell.... Friend: Yeah.... Let me get you some sets of magic robes for your pure. *PM* Other guy: I reported you for offensive language. *PM* Me: Why? I just said hell... Him: That offends me. Me: Dude hell's just recognized by most as a place of eternal punishment.... It's not offensive... Him: That's what offends me. Me: Get a life, little kid and come back when you're 13. *Friend and I* *Start flaming* Eventually he logs off and people that were watching were like: "lol!" "That noob reported you for saying hell!" God that's why I got members in the first place; I can't stand the insane immaturity on the free servers. Yet on members, there are still immature people, just not as many. SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.
