One of the things I like about Miiverse is it is policed ... So people are not cursing on it or trashing each others mothers on it.

I decided I wanted to test the policing and make a comment and see how long it would take to be removed or if it would be removed at all.

I went into the Super Mario Brothers Community and made the following post ...

"Does Peach really want Mario or Luigi? Mario only lasts about 3 or 4 minutes and Luigi only 1 !!!!"

Not only was the comment removed in about 2 minutes, I also received a warning for explicit sexual content.

Safe to say Miiverse is very policed and the authority takes action quickly.

I read somewhere fatter people lasted longer...

lol I wouldn't say that is "explicit".

I read an article about it being a police state. I think the reason it was written was a deleted post containing the word "idiot"...

My comment got removed because someone asked one of the most obvious questions in existence and i called him stupid for it.

I was sure to be very subtle, just slightly hint at something sexual without really saying anything overtly sexually explicit, I mean, I didn't even mention Bowser being horny or anything, I mean have you seen his back?

It is Nintendo terms.

Err... There's certainly the innuendo in there, but it seems a bit ridiculous that they took it down so quickly. If they take things as subtle as that down, it almost seems redundant to post because someone will probably remove it. Not saying I have even the slightest want to post something that could be taken as a sexual hint, but knowing they're that strict is just... Eh. There's a difference between being policed and being forced in what you can and can't say. Miiverse is, unfortunately, leaning on the latter.

 

Though I see posting on Miiverse these days redundant anyways. So many idiotic attention hogs. "Gamer's Social Media" sounded awesome. Until the typical Social Media junk started appearing after Christmas. At least it makes for a fun game: See how many posts you can report for having no discussion value within a minute! (Most common targets being, "Yeah this," "Yeah for Yeah" "Comment to win Yeah's")

Funny...

I was sick of all the nastyness and trash talking on the Xbox 360, safe to say that MiiVerse is a breath of fresh are for genuine gamers who just want to have a fun time

Same here. Not to mention the Miiverse allows a level of interaction other consoles' online services don't allow. I think the policies are good too because it makes for a much better environment for everyone, across all ages... It's not like Nintendo is trying to cut freedom of speech. It's just a shame most communities are becoming hogs for posts like "thanks for the x yeahs" "yeah this if". The Youtube community, especially, is a complete joke. You don't have to post every time you're going online or offline or if you're "gonna have lunch brb"

So far, the Wii U is the only console which drew me in socially.
