Is this legal???

Derekjeterisgod	Soche(Arthosa,Light Samuri) has a game, Join2Chat. I joined it and sent a Show Text, The text had a picture of multiple men lets say doing bad things. The game has no warning about that kind of thing.... I thought BYOND was cracking down on pornography with the community??

Karrigo	He used the Show_Text verb, you were just stupid enough to listen to him and click the link. Edit: and this doesn't belong in the forums, next time use the support form.

Derekjeterisgod	For him to be putting porography into a game he needs a warning in the hub entry or when he enters into his game... Im not gay and I do not want to see that type of thing.

Soche	I used the verb "Show Text" and used html to bring the image from another site, to the pop-up. It said: "Do you want to view the text Soche has shown? Click "here" to view it." and so on. You weren't forced to click it.

Derekjeterisgod	You said to click it, it being your game you should give some type of warning before showing pornography...

Detnom	Yeah, but if the window had been honest and said "Would you like to view Soches gay porn collection?" I'm sure he would've clicked the appropriate option.

Papoose	So, you listen to other people huh? =D Jump off a bridge, and if you manage to live, turn your oven on broil, down a bottle of vodka, and stick your upper body into the oven. Or simply, don't be persuaded so easily.

Derekjeterisgod	I wasnt, chat games usually have coding in there windows... I click to see what it is and hes got gay porn there, you need to aware the user.

Detnom	Ah. Well, being as I'm un-familiar with "Show Text", I was just making assumptions. Regardless, you shouldn't be posting pornography and telling people to click it, without letting them know the contents within.

Nesso	Welcome to the internet.

Kunark	Reading over this, it was part of a chat, not the game itself, and not having a filter for lemonparty and other offensive content the community could send isn't an offense.

A.T.H.K	Whhaa Whahhaaa is all i can here WHAA WHAHAHAAAAA stop your crying you little girl theres no point complaining its all your fault.

Sarm	What? It sounded like a valid complaint to me, even if he ended up finding out that user-created links don't relate to the game. If all you can say is "whaa whahhaaa" then why don't you not say it at all? Heaven knows you post enough all over the place already.

One thing we do not need in the BYOND forums is people pointing fingers at others, especially when they are guilty themselves of similar behavior.

This conversation is best dealt in the forum related to the game, or communicated to the game host and/or developer.
