Forum:"PG"-rule

I'd like to vote on the PG rule and get a final policy on how we limit our content when its offensive or obscene. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 14:51, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) I want Star Wars Fanon to be kid-friendly. (Why does kid-friendliness seem to be a bad thing in movies and video games?) --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 14:51, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Full vote. Never again KoyiMateil. Never. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 15:35, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Full vote I agree with all the above. SWF should be a kid-friendly, safe place
 * 4) Full vote Cya, Koyi.
 * 5) Full vote. No more KoyiMateil articles.
 * 6) We don't want another KoyiMateil.Darth Gree My Holobook    My Kills     [[Image:Darth_Gree_Trademark.JPG|35 px]] 21:41, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) I give this proposition my utmost support!
 * 8) Totally a Full Vote Nevermind, I just read an article from KoyiMateil. I give my full support.--Nightmare975 16:21, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) I say if you don't allow something other people are going to be here complaining about stuff, everything is offensive to some people. Now I agree with not allowing things such as porn, but limiting the language allowed and what things are talked about is not something I see any site should do, this is the internet... not some kiddy school. If you don't want kids to read inappropriate language you shouldn't let them on here in the first place, now I understand not letting the f bomb run around but the occasional hell, damn, and other light words should not be punishable.

Allowed on tagged articles
21:27, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) If the article is tagged with a foul language/sexual content template, then yes. But not if the article is written just for the sake of sex/swearing. [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 19:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Amen, Jasca. Amen. [[Image:Luigithesithsig.PNG]]

Neutral

 * 1) I oppose a "PG" rule, but instead would rather see a PG-13 rule. I think that certain words should be allowed, such as "hell", "damn", "ass", etc. but nothing like the "f-word" or the "bi-word", etc. I am changing my vote to neutral because I pretty much agree with everything but the small cusses part of the PG rule.

 * 2) Yes, the word "hell" is used in The Empire Strikes Back, that's true. I don't recall the last one ever being used in Star Wars, though. ''The Empire Strikes Back" wasn't rated "R" or anything. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 18:53, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

 * 4) I agree that a PG-13 rule would be more appropriate. We don't need yet another fandom site to be overly controlled as to what we can say and what we can't - yet, at the same time, having no content rules at all is asking for trouble on a wiki. I would prefer that nude images and overtly sexual images (not necessarily the same thing) should be banned, as well as extreme and detailed descriptions of gore/violence and excessively detailed sexual references. If it would be safe in a PG-13 movie, it should be safe here (possibly slightly altered to restrict image, not text, content a little bit further.) The rule about not allowing weapons that cause bleeding if there is a non-bleeding equivalent is overkill in my opinion - there's a difference between extreme, gratuitous gore and a little bit that's still within PG-13, or even PG, limits. 11thGuard 22:33, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Actually, I agree with 11th. There are instances of bleeding in Star Wars, that part is overkill in my opinion as well. Some weapons such as vibroblades/axs/swords cause bleeding, so long as no graphic descriptions/images are included. However, everything else is very much to my liking.
 * 6) The "PG"-rule can sound misleading in that way. But if you read the bottom of the page, it says if you're not old enough for Revenge of the Sith, you shouldn't risk Star Wars Fanon, which implies that it really is a "PG-13" rule. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 16:08, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Comments
One thing I'd like to note is that if an unsupervised kid sees a tag that says he's not old enough to read what's on the page, the kid will have a 90% more likely chance of reading the article. It's the ol' Tom Sawyer's whitewashing technique. That's why I'd rather not allow on "tagged" articles. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 19:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I also oppose an on "tagged" loophole. I'd like to know that children can come here without the risk of being exposed to explicit content. My brother is on here, I don't want him to be exposed to that kind of crap.
