Wouldn't that make kids lie about their ages? Yeah, I suppose. Though within the sphere of regulars that come here, I think we're all fairly honest with each other. Even if not, we pretty much know everyone's ages.

It's not just swearing, it's also about more mature discussions. If MMOT becomes a games site in general, you'd bet there would be more discussion about more mature games and ideas. Like, what if someone blogs about GTA? Plus, there's the fanfic factor. I always posted censored versions of my work on MMOT before it shut down because of the swear censor. Sometimes authors just need to use swears to illustrate a point. And then there's Naz's fanfics.

Even if not, we pretty much know everyone's ages. The issue is that we're attempting to attract more people, and people lie. Most have no qualms about it. I think providing the option to censor blogs with inappropriate content should be made automatically on with the option to turn it off. The people we should really be concerned about reading such things probably won't think to turn it off.

I really vote for the search function . That's a really important point , coz like I had to search through tons and tons of blogs to find the blog which tittle I had forgotten .

Simple, did what captain did.
Change all f-words to: tugboat.
Change all s-words to: boattug
Change all the other swears to: -censored-

Oh yeah , and for the age thing , surely there's some other way ? It sucks if someone whose blog you wanna read wrote something which you can't read due to your age . I get that pretty much seeing I'm only 13 (going 14) . And if it were me , I would probably create a different acc with a fake age just so I can read it . I'm guessing most would probably do that , so there isn't really much point . Just giving my ideas on this .

Why not do that thing that most porn sites do? Where they have that friggin advisory thing in the beginning...Just warning people that it's gonna have some s*** in it that isn't suitable for kids under the age of whatever age the author thinks is right...

The security check was a pain in the ass but -ahem- Sure they are ALL great ideas (Lovin the blog search function cause I like shifting through old blogs in general) But are all of them gonna be possible? Seriously how much do you honestly think you can do? And how long would it take to code all of that Then you got costs(MAYBE)Staff(Ie:Mods,Admins etc.)and general nonsense that comes from running a site like MMOT. Honestly just go with what you know you can do and THEN go for all the nifty doodads(Ie:Search,Rep,Blog and w.e of the day w.e) Of course Search should be a priority cause I said so ;3
