  1. There's nothing bad going on really. So I don't see why we should stop.

     

    Because the rules of the community say you should. I imagine moderators won't be filtering or looking at every single PM, but if someone says something, after this post, I believe the penalties would be harsher. Not worth the risk when things like Skype exist. There are many more communication outlets than MLPForums.

  2. My statement was really just proving that in law, the server host countries law trumps that of the owners.

     

    And I do support the moderation teams decision (although personally with all the legal issues they carry, I'd just not allow children to begin with, minors are such a hassle when it comes to legalities) 

    I was referring to your original quote in that post. "But it's in Canada." Is a deferment I've seen used as a supporting excuse for this very subject more than once. You statement about the U.S. was another great example of why they should do this.

     

    Edit: To clarify, I understand the angle you were going at, I am replying to who you quoted. Also, no, this is a site about MLP. It should not lock out the younger crowd in favor of more pornographic content.

  3. Servers are US though. Law effects were the site is hosted, not were the owner resides.

     

    That and; Canadian's have similar laws as well:

    No, that law doesn't encompass everything, and I am not doing the research to dig up exact cases. Fact is, the moderation and owner do not feel comfortable with this sort of material on the site; as they shouldn't given the media climate regarding the subject. End of story.

     

    Allot of times things are in a nice grey area and easy to debate. In this case, it is a solid black and white decision.

  4. I understand the harassment bits and stuff. But I find the no excpclit rp bit in pms unfair. If the participants of the pm are fine with it, I see no problem. It's not harming anyone there is it. And it's not like any random person can just go into the pm and look at it.

    Yeah but pms are kinda supposed to be there so you can say things you can't say for everyone to see. And the name, private message, is clearly a big point for that too. If people are getting harassed and things, fine, let the harasser get in trouble. Just don't basically punish a load of others who haven't done anything, because pm is the only place I can RP with some people. And it isn't hurting anyone is it.

     

    No, it does cause harm.

     

    It doesn't matter what age someone registered with, there is no way short of photo identification (and even that doesn't hold up in court) to prove that the participant is age of consent. If minors are engaging in explicit acts through this website, the owner and host can be in hot water very quickly.

     

    Far to often people miss-communicate over the internet; people get their wires crossed on the smallest things. Even if two (or more) people are 'consenting' in private, lines can be crossed and people will feel violated. This site does not exist for anyone to satiate their sexual desires. This is a site about My Little Pony, and the surrounding IP. With all the trouble and bad press surrounding bronies as it is - not mentioning how harsh the court sees these cases - I have a hard time why anyone would be against such moderation.

     

    It does cause harm.

     

    Edit: As a rule I often follow; if I wouldn't say it in front of my mother, it doesn't need to be on the MLP Forums.

  5. Just the fact that this even needed mentioning confirms my recent suspicions.

     

    Kudos to the MLPF staff, for once again, clarifying something that should have been blatantly obvious. I'm not even being sarcastic. I administrate and run a few communities, and I understand the workload that you all get buried under. Needing extra time to deliberate and announce something like this should be unnecessary, but sadly you must.

  6. I imagine a female vocalist until somewhere around 40 seconds, and then rapping at around 55 seconds. Something along these lines for verses.

     

    The vocals would be best handled in this fashion:

    youtu.be/ZOw7Xtbdauk

     

    The rap verses could be something like this:

    wider skies and the deeper air

    wanna fly then grow a pair

    time attack and a Flutter stare

    don't get sacked

    what are you pack'n when time attacks

    when your knees creak and your back snaps

    when you're no longer pack'n a battle and you've loosed your saddle flaps

    and then only thing flapp'n is your gums

    will your stories be boring or full of fun

    books are filled with what is done...

     

    This was just a quick example, but you get the idea.

  7. I see what you mean. Let me do some research first and I'll get back to you in this thread. If I confirm that this is a bug I may need you to open a support ticket.

     

     

     

    DB ... can you elaborate? Do you mean the 'recent topics' box on the index page (main page)?

     

     

    Ha, looking back on that post I must have been tired.

     

    Not to long ago there was a bug that knocked out the search function. Features that relied on the search function such as new content, recent content, ect; did not work.
