Why can't we talk about Mm in levels or reviews?

Archive: 22 posts


There's nothing wrong to discuss a controversy in a level, but I heard about a few moderations, and the offenses involve talking about Mm. Three Examples:

One person made a level called The Truth about Mm Picks, and it got moderated. All it did was to talk about how to get Mm Picked.

Another example (I read from this site on another topic) was that somebody made a level that discussed the glitches that were created from update 1.12. It got moderated, and it's not offensive.

The third example was that in the reviews of the level Love and Marriage (which is definitely not Mm Pick worthy), one review got moderated, and it only talked about why the level got Mm picked.

Judging by these examples, I can tell that Mm can't be mentioned in a level or review. If so, then why? The EULA never said anything about that.

But these are LBPC forums not Mm's so the mods shouldn't really need to lock this.

The those-who-should-not-be-named moderators are not bound by your mortal conception of 'forum'

Also you mentioned those-who-should-not-be-named so they'll be after you too

I'm not encouraging people to violate the EULA, so why do you think this thread is a bad idea? I'm just trying to ask the Mm employees why we can't mention them?

I was only kidding.....

Seriously, though... Mm doesn't moderate, Sony does. I don't think we have any "objective" data to support levels are moderated based on mentioning mm, and comments being deleted on a level could have been the person who published the level.

Or maybe, these levels/reviews were moderated by Sony because they (not Sony) were trying to insult Mm. If they weren't (the one about Mm Picks was), then maybe it's to prevent insulting Mm. People do go too far sometimes.

Love and marriage not mm pick worthy? THEY picked it because it actually got the creator married, which is pretty cool considering his proposal was IN LBP.

Oh, and I also can't really believe that the things that got moderated were just simple things like "How to get an MM pick" I'd have to see them myself.

My guess is that this all has to do with copyright issues and stuff, even though we are mentioning Mm, in a game, by Mm.2012-05-24 02:43:00

How dare you insult the almighty! HOW EFFING DARE YOU! After all they've done for you! Don't you realize the truth! Don't you realize that a patch that removed something few people were asking for, and in turn, giving us a game that lagged like heck, crashed every other day, and had a crap ton of bugs was a GOOD THING? Don't you realize that Sony moderating anything they want for indiscernible reasons is for the good of us all? Don't you realize that Mm picks are completely what Mm likes, and what you say against them is stupid?

I remember when I was like you. I was so, like, totally like you. I made a thread complaining about the Mm picks. I was stupid back then, but luckily Spaff put me in my place! He took out a bunch of llamas and hypnotized, I mean, RE-EDUCATED me with them to rightfully like Mm and all they do. In turn, I realized everything Mm did was holy, and that making a complaint was stupid. Things criticizing Mm should be censored! They are damaging! I mean, think of the sack-kids!

In fact, this insolence should be corrected right now. Stare into the llamas. STARE INTO THEM. LOVE MM. LOVE MM LIKE YOUR OWN CHILD.

That comment on what I think about that one level was an unessecary side note. I'm not complaining about it being Mm Picked; I'm trying to ask why we can't mention it being the first one Mm Picked or the reason why.

You didn't really think that MM were gonna give us the power of political censorship (in the last update) without taking their own slice of the pie, did you?2012-05-25 11:59:00

Actually, I halved their slice and pretended the average slice had gotten smaller. It was tasty, just in case you were wondering, too.

Just to be clear, there are absolutely no moderation policies that would result in a level, comment or review being critical of either Media Molecule or Sony to be moderated.

Unless of course, the level, comment or review were to be breaking another rule that would be cause it to be subject to moderation.
Such as being offensive, vulgar or otherwise trying to cause distress to specific community members.

Similarly there are no policies regarding the moderation of copyrighted content, unless again the content is breaking another rule stated in the online EULA in the first place.

If a level's creator feels that their level has been unjustly moderated, then they are welcome to post the details of the issue here:
https://getsatisfaction.com/littlebigplanet/topics/problems_with_moderation

So that we can investigate further.

Thanks.

Drat. Now I shall actually have to read the EULA to find the specifics and rules regarding moderation instead of just pressing Accept instantly.
W-wait...no, no, I did not say that! I DID NOT SAY THAT!

I found this a bit odd. I forgot the level maker but i know the name of it and it was to do with bugs and i belive the level name was called Bugs For MM then the author said it's not really a level it's just to show the bugs that LBP has. And i'm pretty sure if you find that level i'm sure its not moderated. Sure why can't we post a level for MM to look at. This could to be for reasons or annoying glitches nobody likes. And the word is out. I heard this. But Sony moderates levels not media moleclue.2012-05-28 08:48:00

It is because Mm is a developer filled with wonderful coders, musicians, artists and all that jazz... they are moving onto a new projects and cannot spare staff for large scale moderation. Since Sony bought Mm, that gave Mm access to the Sony moderation teams who get payed especially to moderate the community which in turn allows Mm to work on other things.
