Breaking Your Own Rules

[O.T.L.]

Well, this is interesting. Although the items are still in the Cash Shop, they've changed the descriptions to not be so suggestive. (The Fondue went from "Let me cover your strawberries in my white chocolate" to "Celebrate Easter with this chocolately friend".) And, boy, are the immature SFers up in arms about that one. (To which I say: GOOD. Gaia did something YOU don't like, and you're being even bigger whiners than the people against whom you constantly defend Gaia. Serves you right.)

I just find it funny that people take that as being explicitly pornographic and not any of the GLOL mistress item descriptions.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't really see that those are supposed to be dirty. Violent, yes, but not dirty. (But, as far as being violent, they're not as violent as the dirty items are dirty.) (Er... if that sentence makes any sense...)

The description from the G-LOL skirt is "When this skirt came down, so did he."

I'm not even sure what that's supposed to mean, but all the other ones are violent and not sexual.

Ha, that's a good point.

In regards to d**k in a box: DO WANT <3

Oh irony, I love you so.
While I'm not personally affected by this, though, I have to agree that they have a right to be angry. Gaia should have thought that through fully before releasing the items. And you can change the descriptions all you want; they're still perverted, raunchy items. I didn't even read the descriptions and I felt that way.

And really, changing the product after people buy it? Come on, Gaia, you can't do that.  

[UPC Betsy]

That reminds me of when the description of the mythrill coins used to say that the lowest you could get was 3k.

Of course, they secretly changed it once people started getting ripped off.

And then the Box of Innocent Items was released. Where people are raising the same s**t-fit that they did with the slutbunnies.

Except even more pro-Gaians are all "They aren't breaking the PG-13 rules".

Honestly, I don't think that's the point, but then, what do I know. neutral

Yeah..I mean, people say "Innuendo is still pg thirteen"

Last time i checked anyway, Innuendo is something that COULD be something else!

As in "My Skin chaffes"
"Why don't I get some aloe and rub it everywhere?"

Could be inuendo, could be just medical talk.

"PORN STARS"

"Sausage half in the mouth"

"The alrunas rose pose 4


Sausage in mouh I guess could be inudendo, But the rest is, come on, just in your face sex.

Alrunas....all hot, sweaty, mouth open in like a moan/lick with her legs apart dressed in pretty much nothing?
What ELSE could that be?

"PORN STARS"
Lets see some 13 year old search google images loooking for the gaia item, and actually NOT find porn...-_-

And yet.."I want to cover your strawberries with my sweet white chocolate" When comming form a chocolate bunny was removed...

Meh... And you are right about the $#17 thing. God that is SO obvious. -_-  

[kikirin~sakyomi]

To add to this thread of apparent hypocrisy on Gaia's part as far as their rules is two things-

1-Disallowing "catch all" threads that are negative

2-disallowing public posts about ban unfairness/addressing mod abuses VS the "Darwin Awards" (thanks mostly to OTL for mentioning it.)

The first was mostly attributed to NK and her thread. There were some mods/developers who were starting to agree with the issues addressed and then some people get the smart idea of silencing it. But...the thing is, I've seen threads discussing positive things that mention many things and do they move that? No of course not. Censorship my friend, is a wonder.

The second, though, was something that OTL had mentioned. He made a good point about the whole mod/ban/user relationship and how even though they "try to keep those things quiet" *rolls eyes* well...they don't exactly make it quiet when they parade idiots around.

However as for the Decided Issues (and yes the admins and mods are working on a new, renamed, version). No we are not required to follow this, it was created so that users would stop making repeat posts about those issues, not to limit Gaia on what we would/could ever do. Proof of this is the fact that at the bottom of nearly every one it says threads/posts bla bla about this issue will be recycled.
