Cactus Game Design Message Boards

ive always wondered that myself. i feel as long as we don't go in-depth about a m-rated game, then that should be ok. a name is not m-rated...the content is. apparantly some individuals are narrow-minded.

apparantly some individuals are narrow-minded well under the appropriate age as stated on the front of the box.

Fixed.

I read it before you highlighted it.  It doesn't change the response, nor does it change the policy that predates my assignment to uphold it.

I don't think Rob would feel that the boards would benefit from encouraging behavior that tears down other people to make a point.

Tearing down of persons was not intended.

That is what sarcasm does by design.  The only form of sarcasm that does not is the self-deprecating kind.

The aforementioned cards present a more harmful environment than does saying the names of M-rated games.

That is your subjective assessment, which is not a matter for debate here, nor is this a negotiation to set the policy.  It is not the job of this board to determine what amount of exposure the children of other parents should have to adult material.  We filter our content to a level appropriate to the lower age range of visitors and whatever the parents want to do beyond that is their purview, not ours.

Leaving all of that aside, your example pushes the age of the example child (7) below that for which Redemption itself is recommended (, and the only examples you have are 15 year old cards that are mostly out of print.  I invite you to consider whether there might be a reason that brand of artwork has not perpetuated or resurfaced, despite their more-or-less innocuous presentation.

hey, i have an idea: much like how off-topic has open discussion to discuss more mature material, why not have the video game section have a similiar function where those of age are allowed to discuss m-rated games?

If you stop and think very carefully about the foundation of your question, I think you'll find that your solution is staring you in the face.

Asking the same question will yield the same response.

I am the only one capable of addressing your question other than Rob, and you have your answer.  The policy regarding age-appropriate video games is not going to be altered, and no  additional  boards to address age-sensitive material are going to be created.

Did I have a post deleted?  I could have sworn I posted something else.

I've noticed several posts that have gone missing, and some posts that I had read before were marked as new. Just a consequence of Schaef crashing the server I guess*...





*Sorry, I couldn't resist. I figured we had to have someone to blame. Why not Schaef? 

Enough.
