 ryblade | for example: "Please avoid using overtly sexual aliases". funny story. i was playing smash brothers one day, when my brother-in-law was in the same room. i'm playing as pikachu, spamming thunder. "PIKA! PIKA! PIKA!" said the little yellow mouse. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT MOUSE SAYING?!" says my brother-in-law. "Do you even know what that means in Brazil?" he asks. he then proceeds to tell me that "pika" is very rude slang for "penis" in brazilian portuguese. how Nintendo was supposed to accommodate for that offense is anybody's guess! | 20:14:56 |
| ryblade | "be kind and courteous": i'd be kicked out of here if i used a certain word that people use to show affection for one another in australia... | 20:16:36 |
| ryblade | not to nit pick, but it's really impossible to keep everyone happy. it's like wargames, the only way to win is to not play. | 20:17:25 |

i agree, and i don't see how that conflicts with my ideas of telling people to use the block feature unless the blocking doesn't work for some fringe reason usually attributed to abuse of service. tell people to block, first. if that DOESN'T work, call a moderator. simple as. Overt offenses are generally easy to call out. But I think dismissive and negative commentary should also not be addressed (probably not by banning, but by bringing it up in a private converstation in the individual) | 20:17:41 |
