GMs,

Zarozinia Anguireal has given her towns extremely obscene names. I ask that you change them- no-one should have to stare at that.

Starting a petition or privately messaging the GMs would get there attention faster than posting it on the forums.

OK, fine....

Just remembered what TD did...

Actually, hold on a moment. Some petitions never get read, and I thought GMs never read msgs?

If you have found what know to be unacceptable behaviour or a serious infringment of rules then lodge your petition, with clear evidence, without delay.

The time to come to the forums is if or when there is an unreasonalbe delay or negligence on the part of the GM's, Mods or admin team and not usually before

Put it this way. It is the most obscene word possible and Zarozinia is now suspended.

it always amause me how people can be tolerant to all sorts of violence, but when it comes to part of human body from which we all came to this world, they shout about obscenity. Kids can watch choped heads flying around, but shouldnt see few hairs between legs.

I think I was successful with a Petition that I entitled Vulgar City Names and it was handled within a few hours.

Well, this was also handled within a couple of hours. It was actually your example I followed, TD

Which exposure presents the greater temptation? I've never even slightly wanted to behead anyone (or enact other comparable physical violence). But I must admit I'm strongly attracted to what you trivialize as "hairs between legs" despite the many consequences that can accompany pursuing that pleasure under the wrong circumstances or in the wrong manner.

I think I should add. She didn't name them the biological form of that part, she named ALL of her cities using the rude form of that word.

If someone is going to go out and sexually assault someone or have unprotected sex, they're probably going to do it regardless of whether or not it was portrayed in the media. Anyone influenced to do something stupid because of something they saw in a video game or a movie would have probably done something stupid at some point anyway.

I respectfully disagree. Passions and lust are stoked by stimulating imagery or other descriptive materials, and the more our thoughts dwell on something we desire, the more tempting it becomes--or rather the more we feel we must give in to temptation and satisfy that desire. Or (to quote a cliche) garbage in, garbage out. It's not a question of responsibility or blameshifting, but rather recognizing the part that a) we play in tempting ourselves to do what we shouldn't and that b) an unmoderated society/environment plays in planting the initial seeds of temptation.

And there are more temptations at play than sexual desire itself. We're also broaching the subject of sexism, objectifying women, power and dominating or abusing others (especially where crude sexual slurs are involved), and disrespect.

I'd also wager that "unprotected sex" is far from the only form of consensual sex deemed a serious misdeed by the people complaining. It certainly isn't the only kind with destructive consequences.
