No, I meant about the standards of the hype. It seems that a lot of people think the rules are too strict.
That's their issue, not ours. I joined this site at 19 [and had been lurking since I was 15 or 16] and not once have I had to decide against doing something simply because of adlut-content. To be quite honest, the only times I've had to worry about whether or not to post something at all, were because I knew I'd need serious answers or replies, and I knew I wouldn't get them here.
I really don't see what the issue is. It's not THAT hard to NOT talk about anything in a PG-13 manner. Not everything in life has to be extreme sex, extreme violence, and extreme language.
Also, if you think WE are strict with our rule enforcement, check out Something Awful [and you have to PAY for your account and features there]!
Saying that, I think the Hype is more teen/twenties-oriented. Take a look at just about any thread in any of the forums and the regular posters. Fitness threads, religion threads, 300 threads, etc. wouldn't be very high on a kid's priority list (in my mind). However, that's not to say this place isn't family-friendly, just overrun with older posters.
That line right there is the pinnacle of the discussion. That's what I've been saying since day one.
The only people who openly complained about his avatar were Squeakness and Alexia Dark. I don't mean to be frank but since when did just two non-mods opinions matter?
We had more complaints than just those two, but they didn't come out with them publically.
