NCL suspends image sharing in Swap Note and Flipnote [Spot pass Notes disabled]

Yikes.

Well, with Miiverse being moderated, swapnote was basically an extremely similar service that was just.. not moderated. We just need to get Miiverse on the 3ds now to fill the gap. Hopefully with some of swapnote's functionality baked in. Kinda makes sense to shutter the service to minimize confusion whenever Miiverse launches on 3ds anyway.

Sucks for people really into the stationary and animation bits tho. Flipnote should help fill the animation hole at least. (Pretty sure it's already moderated, at least to a degree.)

I sent out occasional holiday Dickbutt messages so maybe it's my fault.

1,522 times used, 90:42 hours played.
 
Well...there goes my usual Swapnote holiday messages >_> Damn it Nintendo...or rather damn nasty punks spoiling things for everyone else.

I think the blame should be focused on the ones who decided to throw the baby out with the bath water. When they made this product, did they really expect people to never send lewd things to each other?

To be fair, they have suspended it, not closed it down.
They may restore these services in the future if they come up with a solution.

I wouldn't be surprised the sale of the 2DS, and the influx of new users of Pokemon X and Y created a flood of parental worry and complaints about swapnote.

Streetpass Messages are to anyone, through local wi-fi.

It was the SpotPass messages that were disabled, the ones sent over the net.

No. StreetPass messages still only go to friends. Have you ever gotten a SwapNote through StreetPass from a stranger?
 
This fucking sucks.

I always sent doodles of holiday themes or gaming related messages/drawings to my Swapnote friends. I'm going to miss sending out 3D sketches to Zeer0id, DaBoss, Incite and Studknuckl, etc...

RIP Swapnote Mii Tricell (my Mii)

Unhappy Halloween

Edit:

Nintendo's online policy sucks even harder. I was never one to complain about their conservative stance - but this is too much.
 
Really? I doubt they would be okay with that since minors use Steam.

So do adults. Unlike Xbox Live, PSN, or whatever the heck Nintendo has now, you can also use any kind of language you want in multiplayer Valve games. Why should they care? You're an adult. And if you're not then that's the parents problem, not Valve or their adult customers.
 
So why are they still including features like Wii U Chat? Do they think minors will never use that for lewd things?

And will we never get voice chat in Nintendo online games?

I haven't gotten a StreetPass message from anyone. My apologies, I thought they worked like other StreetPasses.

This makes it even more ridiculous then.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.

Wow. You have almost exactly the same play time as me.....

As Emily Rogers just pointed out on twitter, this comes just after the 2DS launch - a device aimed at children.

Seriously? Fucking seriously? Swapnoting was some the most fun I got out of the 3DS. The lewd and jokey pictures every so often are part of the fun, and that should be my business if I receive them or not. Heck, that's why I added one are two particular people. This is like disabling the web browser because kids found some porn through Google.

What a crock of shit. You need to have people registered as friends to send and accept stuff, so what's the problem? Swapnote is fucking awesome :(

So you're saying that you could post nudes as your Steam Avatar and not get banned for it?

Also, you can use adult language in pretty much any multiplayer console game and not get banned for it. But when people start to post offensive images that minors see, that's when Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo's moderators start handing out bans.
 
LOL Nintendo. Now there's no way to message people at all on the 3DS. There's no messager app. Going to have to wait till whenever they decide to put up their alleged miiverse update.

Well goodbye Roto, Sarumaru, BossDoggie and others. Guess I won't get any cool and funny drawings or new stationaries.

No more posting my Pokemon adventures.

What a joke.
