Today's July 21st.

We should be able to put ratings on blogs so people know if they have mature content or not. That way its the perverted 10 year old's fault when he goes in a blog that's talking about homosexuals.

We wont have to worry about that, since it isnt allowed.

Guys. There are bloghosts out there that let you have adult content. Use those. Why on earth would you want to use blogs offered by a game targeted to 13-year-olds, for adult content? Common sense.

Adult content? No one is asking to host porn or anything :/

Adult == mature. I didn't think word choice really affected the point I was getting at.

Adult is a lot different than mature...

But either way, just because a game is targetted at 13 year olds(which I think is a terrible idea in the first place), doesn't mean we all have to be treated as such. The game itself, logging in, is MUCH worse than the forums will ever be. It's terrible. So really, I can say while the game is targetted at 13 year olds, I pity any 13 year old that logs into the game anyways expecting flowers and rainbows.

The forums are operated by GraalOnline staff, whereas servers are operated by their own sets of staff. Moderating all server content and behavior is an impossible task. The staff on those servers are supposed to uphold GraalOnline rules; unfortunately, most don't. However, these are the forums, and moderating a single forum is much easier than moderating 100+ servers.

The point I'm making is that you shouldn't expect to be able to post mature content on blogs provided by GraalOnline, a Zelda-based game targeted towards pre-teens. Despite what you might think, the majority of people I run in to are younger than 15 years old; I think it's safe to say that this game isn't inhabited by a majority of 18+ users. Despite if I'm wrong, the company sets it's target audience, and not the audience itself.

I think it shows really poor character when people complain about a feature that they weren't guaranteed to get. The blog feature was an unexpected addition, yet I see a lot of people bashing it for no reason other than it's now fashionable to bash GraalOnline staff and their work.

We're paying customers, no?

Yet there is never any punishment for not doing so. Servers like UN are never punished or taken down because they bring Graal money... It's understandable, but they can't claim to be a game geared for 13 year-olds then ignore the crap that goes on UN just because it makes them money.

Who said we're complaining? Or at least... I'm not. You're looking at this with a black and white view instead of really looking at what people are posting. I already said it was a okay feature, I however, don't agree that it will serve much purpose, especially if it's going to be moderated like the forums. I'm not going to sit and kiss Unixmad's ass just because he finally released something(anything on Graal takes too long to get done)... especially if I believe it could be better.

@kia: Linux cyberjoueurs isn't a publicly traded company, therefore you have no say in what happens and what doesn't. When it goes on the stock market (), and you pony up some money to buy some stock, then you can use the "paying customers" argument.

Also, read my post entirely, please. That way, you don't end up repeating what I've already said.

@dusty: That's fine if you don't like it. But, what's not fine is bashing it just because you don't like it. I'm not speaking directly to you (because you haven't downright bashed the idea), but I haven't seen very much "this is neat, I'll utilize this" or "not my cup o' tea, but others might like it. Thanks for adding this feature". I've seen "wow this is stupid. unixmad is stupid. darlene is stupid. blogs on forums? what a stupid idea.".

We are still paying customers. Listening to what we say could, oh god, make the experience more enjoyable for all of us. Maybe..., no, could it? Attract more people because of the user friendly management? Heavens no!

User-friendly management is dependent upon friendly users.
