General Discussion

[Strangesam]

Just think without variety of ages, the forum would be a much more boring place.

PS: I'm of an adult age.

I can't believe anyone really thinks some of the stuff which has been taken down today is okay for a Sony PlayStation branded and owned forum.

Also just because a game is age rated does not mean that younger people are not allowed to play it, that final choice comes down to the parents and/or guardians. Despite the age rating of any game you will notice that all sections of the forums even those for said games are suitable for anyone of any age.

Also age should not be a factor with regards to content on the forums. Many people of adult age may wish not find such stuff on this or any other forum.

It should be noted that their are endless forums for such stuff, many of which do not have rules or bannings etc. Those forums are much more suitable for such content.

As for my film night - you agree to that your meeting certain age requirements when using places such as LoveFilm or NetFlix etc, I merely provide the discussion board for film A, film B etc. The films are not aired with the forums themselves also.

Also as with games it is not illegal for someone underage to watch an adult film at night, it comes down to the parent and/or guardian.

So why was pokefan's thread removed? It had none of those things but it went anyway.

But can they buy the comments made here? No. And they have been judged inappropriate for a family forum I'm afraid.

No idea - I'm not here 24/7.

Maybe it was reported as spam? I don't know to be honest.

I see moderators as kind of a forum referee, as with referee's you should not argue with them.

I'd say pokemon's thread was removed for spam. After all, almost everything he does is spam. It just isn't reported because everyone enjoys it at his misfortune

But that's exactly my point. It broke no rules, was the same as he's posted time and again (without swearing/bypassing the swear filter or anything offensive) and it was pulled because one  member reported it as spam, either alot more posts and threads should have gone the same way for the same reason or poke's should have stayed for the reason the others were allowed to.

Like I said in my last PM to you, the mods are being used by some members to get at other members because they can't do it themselves. If there's no reason for a post to be pulled even though it's been reported it should stay and the reporter told either to ignore or stop reporting for no reason or a warning or ban be issued to them. That's how it works on every other forum I've ever seen.

yeah, listen to the hawky!

this applies to all of us, even if we 'donated' all that money to 'The Hawky Institute for Spam Research', theres still no way around the rules, god knows ive tried, what with all the lawyers ive hired, the guideline are airtight even they couldnt find a way past them.

[litterature]

agree with that... nice post my yellow Bird

Have fun guys

[Wretched_Hawk]

All I can say is use the report button guys. It is there for a reason.

Every thread/post reported is judged on an individual basis, all of you are treated the same.

If some posts aren't reported and they are spammy it is not a mods fault if they stay up, we cannot view every single post/thread as we have much more work to do elsewhere that keeps your PSN network and game enjoyment ticking over - we are the thankless few.

If a users thread is reported as spam and is it spam then it'll be removed. If you do not report the users other spam posts/threads and we don't get a chance to read them randomly ourselves then how are we to know they also need to be removed as spam.
