It was heavily moderated because Disney was supporting it and advertising it for kids, it was for kids originally but now there's not that many kids to aim it to because its original audience has grown up and unless someone is looking for this project, it's hard to find. The youngest I've seen on here is 13, why should we moderate heavily on these forums and the game if there aren't going to be a dozen kids running around? I don't want to see people shouting swears every second but there isn't a reason to have so many restrictions.
But, really, think about how many parents will show their kids VMK? They enjoyed it when they were young, so logic says they might want their own kids to enjoy it.
In all reality, you don't know what kids are going to be playing, and what adults. Even if you take a census. Kids lie about their age.
I've seen some of the VMK censored words. Some, are ridiculous. Personally, I swear. More than I should sometimes. But I have zero problems with those words being blocked.
Now, 'pink' , 'love', and other words that if stretched, could have a dirty or improper connotation, those seem silly to me to ban.
That being said, we can rant and rant and rant about what we think is best, but at the end of the day, it's staff's decision. And we can either roll with it, (and seemingly talk as we like on the forum/chat here) or complain, or not play the game at all.
