[QUOTE="Enforcer, post: 4745939, member: 396"] I won't believe this without at least a scintilla of evidence. Your word of mouth doesn't even come close to compelling. In my opinion this is borderline libel. "This podcast features adults, using adult language. You have been warned." If you continue to listen after that opening and are offended by what you hear, you have only yourself to blame. And last I checked, you, in fact, do not own WotC, so while you may do things differently, what WotC does is not your call to make. You can always choose to vote with your wallet. As for the rules, a lot of the guys are newbs. My players do little better sometimes. Personally, I think demonstrating new players learning the rules is actually a very good decision for WotC to have made, as other new players can identify with the podcast, and make them feel more comfortable. "Gee, if the Penny Arcade guys and Wil Wheaton screwed that up, it's okay if I do it..." As noted by many others in this thread, this statement is blatantly false. I think the WotC forums often suffer from too much free speech, not the lack of it. Also, "free speech" at least as the U.S. Constitution's 1st Amendment is concerned, applies to government regulation thereof or protection of public safety (e.g. you can't yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre), it does not apply to a private business' decision to moderate their own forums. Again, feel free to vote with your wallet. Other than sites that used WotC's own IP, can you cite some examples? I don't think you can. I think you are confusing the term "young punks" with "people who have done things that I personally do not like." And I think you have little to no evidence to show that they've actually done said things. That said, an image of Chris Perkins and Scott Rouse hanging out under the bleachers with piercings, tattoos and leather jackets, smoking cigarettes, at their current ages, is pretty damn funny. :) [/QUOTE]
