Silly Gms

I think my screenshot here more then expresses the stupidity that is the maplestory censorship.

[quote=Gregorius]Children under thirteen shouldn't be playing MapleStory as signing up for the game requires minor information disclosure as per the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act... but at the same time, children younger than that are already being exposed to cursing and violence from other means ([i]poorly-moderated cable television and movies, idiot parents buying their preteen kids M-rated games like 'Call of Doody', the other 99.9% of the Internet, etc[/i] ), so it really makes no sense as to why the game has the level of explicit censorship it has today. If they think censoring themselves so thoroughly is going to make the players want to swear less, then they should think again. I mean, it's fine to ban racial slurs and things like that as they are typically regarded as offensive, but how many eight-year-olds do you hear on a regular basis in any other online game spitting swear words before every noun, verb and adjective in their sentences?

So (unironically), I say 'f*ck it'; just remove censorship from the game almost entirely.[/quote]

I agree. sadly, the developers dont have enough brain cells to realize this, so I would never put my hopes up on the censorship being removed completely.
