Yeah i thought it was bit odd that you were being strict. At least you have some good logic behind it unlike most of other people who complain about rule breaking.



ok thats all fine and well that it is illegal, but i think having a light hearted chat about piracy and a light hearted chat about rape, are two completly different issues on two completely different levels.

Also, im not really complaining about this particular issue, but more about people constantly "reporting" each other on here for small, petty, or stupid reasons (again not aiming at this topic in particular since Auzzie Wingman gave a good reason that was more than just "cuz it beaks the rules")

Not trying to sound like a jerk here..just saying....just talking about how someone hacked it is fine as we aren't breaking rules..but the OP posed a link to the video in which also talks about a tutorial on how to do it. That we can't solicit on these forums. I just wanted to compare - could of used a better comparison..here...if we were talking about a bank robbery..ok..but if we had information showing how it was done and how to get into bank vaults..that's completely different lol.

Rules are there for a reason, and that reason is to be followed. Wasn't aware it was a horrible problem to follow the rules of the forum.

Its not a problem to follow the rules, but i am just talking about these people who go about reporting everyone for every little rule they break. I already said that Auzzie Wingman's reasoning behind reporting this topic made sense and he is not one of these people who goes around reporting everyone.

Nah man, i know youre not trying to be a jerk, niether am i. Im just starting to get annoyed with a few people on here who are constantly reporting people instead of having discussions.

lol i wasnt speaking about you, im talking more about the younger users of this forum.

To be honest, there's no surprise. Young people may feel inclined to prove themselves as worthy additions to a forum or any other social network type, and believe that simply locating and reporting rule infringements is going to get them solid reputation. That's not to say it's a good or bad mentality, but one that can be improved on. Those types need to relax and soak in the ride for a while before getting out of the water and putting on some shoes.

Young people are also offended easily, giving less room for personalities to blemish their own. So they might report, taking things into a solid context of their own understanding, and having little to no breathing space of what others have typed.

Basically put, maturity takes it's own course. Let's take one of the youngest known members of the forum, Sensei No as an example. That kid didn't type like a 10 year old, did his own thing posting death metal songs, and practically set up the first of many "Ask me stuff" threads. Although, I worry that he does watch Ecchi.

A lot of it.

So, going back to youngsters making reports... let them. It's not like you are a forum staff member who has to sift through it all. At the same time, it's not like moderators don't look at the content, and think "Well, it's a report so it's valid." I'm sure the mods do go to the site of reports to assess whether or not actions need to be made.

So wise


But yeah i get what youre saying, i guess thinking about it this is the only forum i visit which has users younger than 14/15

Wow.

They managed to run homebrew on a Wii Emulator/sarcasm. This isn't impressive, tell me when they crack Miiverse or manage to get play Wii U games playing.

[Auzzie Wingman]

Well, it's a forum for a product in 2012, Nintendo logo slapped on all over it, in an age where children are getting access to computers at a younger age.

I mean, I'm still part of Generation Y, but jeez I never had access to a computer with internet at home until I was 15, and now I've got a 9 year old sister smashing everyone's high scores in Facebook games.

It really doesn't surprise me, Hunter.

But to get it Day 1? Reckon someone got the giggles and thought "Hey, let's see if it works on the Wii U. It probably won't"... ... ...

Security fail...

[Auzzie Wingman]

Hmm, not really. Nintendo knew if they didn't use an emulation system with the Wii U for Wii games, they have an even bigger hole to deal with. While yes you can play illegally obtained games on the Wii U, it's been made harder to use that as a gateway to getting at the Wii U itself. It's like with the 3DS. They attempted to render flashcarts invalid on the 3DS through manual override upon detection.

Nintendo knows they won't keep the hackers at bay forever, but are trying to make sure they do a damn good job at it. It's not a security fail if they've taken it into account. I would not at all be surprised if they already hacked the Wii U in-house, to see how they can overcome it.

Thread lock in 3 2 1

[Auzzie Wingman]

More like thread lock 2 hours ago. Not to say that pressuring the moderators does any good. They do work.

Locking the thread for the reasons that other users have mentioned, in addition to the fact that it's already started to go off-topic.

As for the whole reporting posts issue, we appreciate it when users take the time to send reports, saying publicly that you've reported someone doesn't achieve anything and can make you look like a bit of a snitch. You're better off just reporting and leaving it for us to deal with or politely pointing out that a user is breaking the rules.
