[QUOTE="MetalManiac6666"] Yeah, because the average age of a gamer isn't 34 or anything.MetalManiac6666

Eh? That wasn't my point.

I'll rephrase then. Some under 13 is probably more likely to come across a gaming website than something like Efukt.

So? This is the internet. If parents don't want their children to view topics that they consider offensive, then they can monitor their child's activity.

Or get filters. Problem solved! :3 Besides, it's not like a thirteen year old hasn't seen/heard about, if not doesn't use/talk about/see on a daily basis, the censored things here.

You know, if this site only talked bout E rated games, I could understand at least a fraction of their reasoning, but just look at the most popular games on the front page. Most of them are M rated.

That is an astute observation.

Still when they ask OT posters age there's stiil a bunch who aren't even 18, I don't judge people matturity by their age tho nor try to take the merit of their posts if they are, say 15 years old.

I find the observation bizarre. Not because they're popular, but because of the guidelines in place to prevent underage users from viewing material not suited for them, as per the ESRB ratings. If Gamespot is going to restrict video, why not also restrict images or even entire game pages?

Because its easier to restrict a video. Even though it most likley fails because you can put any age in it. Why would somone born in 1990 still be alive wondering about video games.

That doesn't make it "acceptable" to only restrict one aspect of a game's media.

They dont even show AO games atleast I dont think dont know any. But it asks your age if you are trying to veiw a game rated M. But they can still look at graphic images and user created vids dont ask age and the Saboteur page is ridiculous Im suprised nobodys ever cleaned that up contains full nudity.

Sure, but they don't, and that's why we put up with crap like this.

I completely understand what you're saying. I just say who cares and have it be the parents' problem. Obviously the admins here don't think the same way. :P

I do think it's deliciously ironic that this new sticky is up there alongside the 'OT Revised Policies Now In Beta' sticky.

April 2010 - Jokes gone wrong! Obviously you think we are too harsh! Please know we are listening to your dissatisfaction and changing things.

September 2010 - The inevitable outcome of our new lax approach to your concerns dissatisfies us. Please desist.

I can understand the need to put measures in place to protect the younger users of the site, but they are putting a hell of a lot of restrictions on the older users who may enjoy an adult, though not vulgar, conversation every now and again.

I understand this. But the big names in OT, like me among others, are all +20. Also, witty religious, political, philosophical topics are made by +20 members.
