I have a question regarding the "PG-13" Regulation of the Hype

[Darthphere]

First of all, this has nothing to do with my recent probations or anything of the sort, so you can stop speculating on that.

Here's the question. How does PG-13 translate into regulation on the Hype? In the form of language, content and imagery.

Language wise, we're seeing the line between PG-13 and R being blurred more and more eveveryday. The fact that "*****" or the b-word and "****" henceforth known as the "S-word" are both used prolifically in primetime network programming and movies is something that calls into question the PG-13 standard on the Hype.

On the issue of content, do I really need to go into further detail on what passes off as a PG-13 movie nowaday? Obscene, gross humor, violence, gore, all things seen in PG-13 movies, but something that will get you banned on here for doing.

Imagery. I really have no problem with the Hype's policy on images pertaining to nudity and such. That makes sense.

So in closing, is this site really living up to the PG-13 standard or should we all look for a better analogy for the Hype's Regulatory Policies?

close/delete/ban!

 

[Darthphere]

No, you're supposed to say in before the close.

 

[Ronny Shade]

It was an aesopian comment on the tyrrany of the hype.

 

[Darthphere]

Where are the animals then, b-word?

 

[Ronny Shade]

It was a story about how the gerbil gave a speech about the evil octopus king and the sexy awesome fox dude said "lynch him! sarcastically" and the gerbil said "wtf, man, you're supposed to say in b4 the close!"

You know it's all up to the discretion of a mod on a given day.

oen person may say something and not get done while someone else does

you can say one thing in a thread one day and the next day continue and be done for it.


it's pot luck.

The equivalent of a cop in a bad mood giving you a ticket for going 5 miles over the speed limit. That's a terrible way to regulate.

 

[Ronny Shade]

and then the gerbil got lynched.

I've been an advocate of a standard rules and regulations to be followed by the moderation but most of the time it does have a feel of too many chefs in the kitchen giving their own opinions and a lot of times some moderators "overreacting" and having admins like Hunter having to come in and clean up.

This has been an issue for a long time.

Indeed.

 

[WompuM]

Alright, 10 bucks Darth will be banned by Halloween. Who wants in on this action?

None of the mods can cook They live off of hot pockets and Burger King. But yes...it seems that if you run into a pissed off mod/admin in the right place at the wrong time...you are gone

How dare you say such a thing 50 bucks

 

[Darthphere]

As far as I know, I have broken no rule on the Hype starting this thread.

Halloween is tomorrow by the way.

 

[WompuM]

Yeah I know. Don't let me down.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Darth won't be banned by tomorrow.

20 bucks

 

[Darthphere]

I'm not getting banned. The Hype needs me!

 

[chaseter]

Darth won't be banned by tomorrow.

20 bucks

I will play it safe...50 bucks he won't.

 

[Darthphere]

This is exactly what I'm talking about. The state of fear that the mods have put on here that cause some to believe that a poster will be banned just for questioning policy. A sad state here.

 

[Ronny Shade]

I'd love to see people try to exchange the money after this.

Reminds me of when DV8 said he'd pay us all $50 if Lachey Hulme didn't get cast as Joker. lol.

If I win...I will take you out to dinner with my 50 bucks!

****, I wouldn't dare put my address on here. I am actually fearful of about 25% of the people on here. Would you feel safe if JAL knew your address?

 

[Ronny Shade]

JAL is totally harmless.

I've known several people just like him.
