You can talk about M Rated games in Other Games.
There's a difference in talking about Resident Evil or God of War or Manhunt, or even talking about the morality of drinking/smoking/drugs/porn/whatever. But topics like "What do you smoke?" or "What do you drink?" or "I think game companies should give away free cigarettes and pot with games." are totally different and really not acceptable on many forums, especially Pokemon forums.
I would have to ask you why you came to a Pokemon forum if you're obsessed with talking about tobacco and alcohol then. >>
Dude. Give it up. Threre isnt enough support for that here. We tried it and failed and lost valued members because there was too much flaming.A while back, such a forum was created, called the T-Dome.
Didn't work out as planned, and it's not likely to be revived either :<
And besides, there are plenty more "mature" members around these parts who don't seem to have any issues with the lack of "adult" topics.

At first, I enjoyed the T-dome.
But as time marched on, it degraded rapidly. It turned from a good place to discuss hot topics like abortion and such to a place where people openly expressed their hatred. Many people were offended and left PC. I dont know how many time I saw my friends under fire. It wast pretty
There was much racism and anti-[insert your religion here]ism. There was also many 'I hate [insert member]' or '[insert vulgar phrase] [insert member] threads as well.
No one here who experienced the T-dome will ever want to see it again. Especially not the Staff members that were in power during it's life. I know I dont.
There was an Army of mods for the T-dome and it still was a horrible place to be!What you're discussing is lack of moderation. I'm for adult themed topics, but not hate.
It's not easy to become a mod here. They are very selective about who gets that power here. I dont blame them. The mods we have now have earned their stripes.I'm aware of that, but apparently they seem to be doing a good job of the other ones, how come you can't drum up more moderators for another forum?
That's assuming that just because we allow x, then we allow y as well. No. Talking about a game and how much you like it is one thing, while talking about an extreme level of violence related to it is another. I can't speak for anybody else (of course) but if I saw a topic that was about nothing but amounts of blood I would most certainly either close it or at least try to move the topic to something else. It's an inappropriate topic as well.I'm not obsessed, my feathers are just a little ruffled because I was having a pretty good conversation going on with people I haven't met before that was ended abruptly because apparently it was inappropriate. But If I was talking about how much blood comes out when Leon from RE4 is cut in half, you wouldn't bat an eye.
I mean, really, is smoking/drinking worse than violence to that extreme? If so, I'll go to your house and I'll show all kinds of displays of violence in front of your home. Because you're basically telling me, that violence is ok at any age, because the government only condones drinking/smoking when you're older.
This Community Isn't Just about Pokemon....Wow, you really seemed determined.
To tell you the truth, I can't really think of topics that are mature and poke'mon related except for "Ash is Gay" or something weird about the Poke'mon breeding center.
It's not that poke'community dosen't want adults present, it's just that poke'mon can't easily made into mature topics and most of all, poke'mon was made for kids over 7. What possible reason would poke'community need to add a mature poke-ralted topic section? That kids on PC would go into and look at anyway?
It wouldn't be secure if it was just put in the forums, and members underage would look through it. And if you put it into a secure place, Young members would find it anyways and still look at whatever topics adult members would think of.
I meen, as I type I already would know where are some possible locations could be anyways. You see, if a 11 year-old can find it, how could it be secure to just mature members?!
...
And what the heck topics would you think would be mature and poke'mon realated?! It's poke'mon for god's sake!
