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.

Yes, Miiverse is a place to mainly talk about Nintendo products and arrange playing games on Nintendo platforms together. Do you think Sony and Microsoft would allow it on their own Miiverse equivalent (if they ever make one) that people invite other people to play on other platforms? Miiverse isn't the place to find people to play Halo with, so there's no point in posting your gamertag to begin with. Also, the last thing you want is to make it easy for viral marketeres to infiltrate your network and promote competing platforms.

The porn example was extreme to make a point. It's about expectations. Since it's unreasonable to expect porn on a site like VGC, nobody in their right mind would complain about the lack of it. The thing about Miiverse is that it's nothing like anything before it, it's something new. There has never been an integrated message board on any gaming platform before, so you can't judge Miiverse by the same metrics. Since the company who made Miiverse is Nintendo, nobody should have expected that they will allow people to act like jackasses (like it's possible on conventional message boards). Other details, like the sharing of gamertags and PSN IDs differ too. And why shouldn't it? Miiverse is about games available on Nintendo platforms and playing them on Nintendo platforms.

I guess that's fair.

Doesn't sound interesting in the least though since any gaming forum outside of Miiverse isn't as restrictive. But hey, whatever floats your boat.
