Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fenmarel" data-source="post: 2564778">It does put a HUGE damper on any news related stuff.  I didn't go with "fluff" or more light hearted stuff simply because light hearted stuff isn't news and "fluff" is found in those "newspapers"(I use that term loosely) that have the pictures of 400lb 2 year olds and three headed goats with the bodies of dogs.I can work around alot of the stuff, like no current political figures, no religious, racial, ethnic comments.  The one that will be the hardest is not using real world places, cities, states and countries.  I see a need to keep things under control but at the same time I think that not being able to work with real world places is too much.  Going with that line of thinking what if someone from New York is offended by the fact that their city is the one that TMP is based in.  These types of problems are going to be coming in left and right during chat sessions when the room is opened.  I could play a gangster type from the west coast that hates New York with a passion and makes disparaging remarks about the city and its inhabitants.  If that offends someone then I or any other player won't be able to play characters that might have something bad to say about a city or a neighborhood because another player might take that as a direct jab at them.  Many more instances will pop up like folks commenting on southern inbreeders, irish drunks, stupid pollocks, snooty french, aragant americans, lazy mexicans and any other stereotype you can come up with.  For those of you that are easily offended <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> those were just examples I was using and NOT saying those things about anyone.  If bringing real world situations into the setting is against the rules then maybe the setting should be re-evaluated so that it won't be so easy to do.  This room will probably be the hardest to monitor due to the fact that it is in a real world city where real world events, countries, politics and religions WILL come into play.  If real world events are banned in this setting then you might as well move it to Never Never Land where the situation can't possibly happen.</blockquote>
