I never used SwapNote.
Isn't MiiVerse substantially better?
Different things for different purposes. Swapnote is a group private messaging system. Miiverse is a message posting system.I never used SwapNote.
Isn't MiiVerse substantially better?
Wait... so...
-Swapnote is being disabled because it is hard to moderate/no moderation at all.
-Nintendo have announced that Miiverse will be integrated into 3DS. We all know that Miiverse is heavily moderated.
-People used to say Swapnote will be redundant once Miiverse is implemented.
OH MY GOD.
Don't kids have Omegle for this?
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.
Does Nintendo moderate direct messages sent on Miiverse?This is my only positive takeaway from the incident :\
hopefully it's coming very, very soon.
Miiverse sucks for messaging your friends. It'd be nice if they make it where you can just hit the home button and send someone a message. By that I mean not having to even go into Miiverse.
Help, Nintendo.
I just got a Pokemon nicknamed "Gay" while using Wonder Trade. Can you guys disable that next?

what is omegle lol
I'm going to miss Kat sharing Fire Emblem birthdays :0(
Man, more I ponder this loss, the more bummed I become.
I am heartbroken.
Absolutely.This is why Nintendo's needs an account system. If they had one in place, they could have simply banned the users who shared offensives photos instead of shutting down the whole service.
It wasn't me I tell you!lewd images you say?
They already censor Pokémon names, lol. Evidently "Gay" isn't censored. Unless you were making that shit up, and it actually is censored, which would be horrible.
Help, Nintendo.

Go search through Steam player profiles using any kind of pornerific words you can think of and check out the avatar results.
As for your second paragraph, and I'm willing to believe that you are right on this as I haven't owned a console in more than a decade, but you can seriously type out the word "fuck" in a multiplayer game? I'm sure they cant do anything about what people say over mics, but I would be surprised to find out that there are no filters on what can be typed in a multiplayer game. There are strong filters for what can even be used as a user name.
As far as minors go and what they can see, well they can see avatars on Steam. People can send clickable links to anything on the internet through steam chat that will open up in a browser window in game. You can set up any kind of image as a spray in counter strike and counterstrike Source and spray it on any wall. It's not Valves problem. It's not my problem. It's their parents problem. I dont want to have to deal with text filters or not being able to send links to friends in Steam chat just because some parent out there is using Steam as a babysitter.
This company will never learn.
Yeah, it was fun making those, and having everyone talk about what they did with said character. I'm glad you enjoyed them though!
Huh, that surprised me. I figured Valve would disallow anything on your Public profile that could be pornographic.
I was mainly referring to microphone use. Most games have filters in place for their chat systems, but with mics it's practically free reign.
Oh, they have learned. They're very sensitive to legal issues after being sued over someone seizing out while playing a Nintendo console while supposedly not knowing it could happen, even though they were the only ones that put seizure warnings in their game manuals since the NES.
It's why the Wii, DS, and later GameCube games had the seizure warning you had to hit a button to get past with.

"Obscene" I guess somebody didnt like me or something, because really it's pretty mild.
You originally couldn't send Cofagrigus via GTS in Gen 5 without nicknaming it first due to censoring fag.
My old Steam avatar got removed.

Noooo. I loved SwapNote. I actually used it to keep in contact with a good friend of mine who basically lives on the other side of the world now. Sure, I can still contact him over the internet, but sending him my doodles was lovely. Fucking hell Nintendo. ;_;
Steam said:You may upload any image as long as it is not offensive, vulgar, or specifically prohibited in the Steam Online Conduct rules. Your avatar may be removed and you may be banned from the Steam Community if your avatar is inappropriate.
Well cant you do that over facebook by simply drawing on paint, then sending the image either by email or what ever?
A few bad apples always ruin things for everyone.
Facebook should cancel its service, like right now.
We need to think about the kids.
I would be okay with this
