Capcom BBS/Unity BULLSHlT hypocrisy

[Enigmatism415]

Hey all, I don't come here often but I wanted to get something off my chest.

Have you ever noticed that the Capcom Unity forums require you to enter your date of birth before proceeding into the Resident Evil section? Seems reasonable enough, after all the game is ESRB Mature 17+. Once there, however, your language is censored and any attempt to circumvent it is met with chastisement from the holier-than-thou moderators. But wait a minute... the title of this thread isn't appropriate for people who are old enough to play video games containing such language in the first place?

Couldn't have said it better myself, Bill.

I reported my latest "profanity-ridden" (albeit recently censored) post to the administrator in the form of the following concise message:

This user has posted various profanities on a number of occasions within the Resident Evil section of this forum. These profanities might be offensive to users under the age of 17 who visit this section by providing false dates of birth.

I don't think my little quixotic crusade will change much, but at least it might get someone thinking. And to think that I've been a member there for over ten years now...

Never really cared for the nonsense profanity rules (even though you can't even use "Dick" as a name which is just absolutely wrong). Though one or two of the moderators pretty much have their heads stored tightly within their ass.

I doubt they care about your age, they just want registered users to log in

If I follow a hyperlink into a Resident Evil thread without having first logged in, the DOB prompt is displayed.

I presumed it was for everything, but I realise it's just those other games I wanted to look at.

The bigger the company, the bigger the amount of red tape.

Exactly, it's just like that, it's a big company etcetera etc there's probably some edict somewhere from the legal department and that's that. I don't feel it's necessary to use language though so I don't really care.

But what if it IS your first name - or a form thereof, as in my case? "Richard?" *sigh*

I know, that's my point.
