What the hell is this? I'm saying this as one of the main campaigners against the events that happened recently. I am against people using very strong language or mentioning graphic sexual content, but this... this is the most egregious example of censorship I have ever had to deal with on this wiki, or possibly anywhere. Do you realize that with this rule implemented, just about every user here will be banned (including me)? Even Science has made references to weapons in some of his spin-off episodes. Doing this will ruin any integrity and edginess this wiki has, and possibly make it more censored than Phin68's run as owner of the wiki.

Let's take a look at the obvious problems here.

Gore - No, we shouldn't allow gore pictures or graphic gore, but to a PG-13 level it's fine. Many spin-offs have used gore without complaint, such as my own spin-off SpongeBob: Infection. If all gore is censored, the current trend of horror spin-offs will have to be silenced, and I don't want that.

Language - What a generalization. This is basically saying that all language should be removed from the wiki, including "hell", "damn" and "ass". I would have less of a problem with this rule if you'd have said "strong language", which I am against in the context of this wiki, but this is completely over-the-top.

Any physical display of affection between characters - No. What. Just no. So you're banning love? Something that's been hinted at in the original SpongeBob series many times? I understand the "physical" part means sex, but even that's okay in moderate doses if it's not directed at another user. Frankly, I don't see why everyone has such a problem with sex, but doesn't raise an eyebrow at violence. Sex creates life, violence destroys life.

Uploading or providing a link to dirty pictures - I agree with this one. But...

Weapons - Weapons? What? Weapons? Are you saying that the average thirteen-year-old isn't mature enough to handle a reference to a knife or a gun? Even G or PG movies have used weapons, case in point, the Indiana Jones movies. Without weapons, basically all action spin-offs will have to be cancelled, unless there's some obscure spin-off involving SpongeBob becoming a trained fist-fighter who wears foam boxing gloves which give him the ability to knock others into the 8th dimension.


 * thinks*

I don't think so.

So, the point I'm trying to make is that there'll be very little spin-offs intact or even left with the introduction of this rule. I'm just hoping this isn't passed... this could be the worst thing for our wiki since SOPA. Don't take that lightly. We are voting for the destruction of our wiki here. Vote no.
