Has lbp moderation negatively affected anyone?

It has put me off creating some things. A lot of ideas I had if I ever published would get deleted.


What annoys me is the people who try and defend it saying "Be original and use your imagination instead of ripping off other things" or some crap.


If I recreate MGS1 in 2D, I fail to see how imagination and creativity isn't being used.



What also annoys me is they didn't mention any deletion of copyrighted stuff during the beta, and have multiple times shown copyright themed levels before release, and the official website still shows copyrighted levels now right next to a message telling you to make whatever you want.

They also awarded the win for a competition to a copyright themed level.


They are just completely two-faced, it really has killed any joy I had for the game.

The J man read that azure world was moderated and thats why the J man made this thread. LBP is an amazing game and although the J mans level need work (alot of it) it was still enjoyable and addictive to build and create things with your imagination as the limit. But the J man feels that MM put this mod crap after the positive reviews were set. Azure world ,although the J man never played it, was thought to be one of the most original and fun levels on lbp but was taken down for no apparent reason.

 

 

 The level was called Azure Palace and yes it was pretty awesome.  There's a pretty big discussion about it on Gamefaqs and Kotaku has picked it up too.  There is nothing apparent that infringes copyright although 1 poster suggested that there's a portion of the game .hack that includes the word Azure.  Not sure if that has anything to do with it.  Others have also suggested that it may be the spatters of blood here and there that have caused it to be modded.  However, at least 1 of the story levels has blood spatter as well.  Hell, there's even meerkats grinding on stripper poles in the 1 story level.  Exactly why Azure Palace was modded remains a mystery.  The author has contacted the appropriate people and is awaiting a response.
