You all did read the story on GAF about the guy who's NNID got banned because he let his neice draw a picture and post it on Miiverse right? Nothing violent, nothing that a child couldn't see. The issue was that "A child needs parental permission to use an adult account".

Now if I were on my account and allowed my family member to draw a nice picture I would be subjected to moderation. Not just that, but how do they know whether or not a child got permission? You would assume they knew since the drawing said on it "A picture drawn by my neice", meaning she was supervised and given permission.

I thought they promoted family spending time together and enjoying the WiiU.

It is obvious there is a problem here right now.

Yes, the problem is that Miiverse is being moderated by humans. Humans make mistakes. Just because that GAF thing happened doesn't mean that this is the norm or how the rules are enforced on a regular basis. If you take the GAF example, you'll also know that he had no problems getting his stuff back which points to a mistake on Nintendo's part in the moderation.

But let's talk about VGC moderation. For some reason we aren't allowed to post porn here. Why is it that VGC can't have separate sections for kids and adults? Why is it that adults like us are subjected to NintendoPie treatment by default? Why aren't we allowed to choose? Why is it that there is no weekly uproar over this problem on VGC?

Yes, I did read and do realize he got his stuff back, but that doesn't mean there aren't issues. That is all I am saying. I am sure over time they will all be ironed out, but right now it isn't.

Oh yeah, and someone's niece drawing a picture and her uncle posting it isn't the same as posting porn, but I am sure you knew this before you posted such a pointless comparison. Here on VGC we can also let people know we own things outside of Nintendo, just like how we can tell other people our usernames on a multitude of devices.

What happens when Miiverse comes to our smartphones? I can post on it from my iPhone but can't tell people my GameCenter ID from that iPhone i'm posting from? Seems pointless if you ask me, but hey, everyone has different tastes.
