Rock Band Forums: Code of Conduct

[barbaraann72]

On a personal note barbaraann72, is Terrapin Station a real location, or are you showing that you are a Terps fan? (asking as a U. of Maryland, class of 88 alum).

None of the above! It's a Grateful Dead reference.

btw-- I deleted my post, cause John said it better!

Now - forgive me for asking this, obviously the game isn't out here yet, but from the You Tube videos - isn't the title also edited to C***, and from what I can hear, there's no actual use of the word in the song either - is that right?

I just think some people can be a little sensitive on occasion - my apologies if the word is in there - but people may take offense to the line of "Drivin' that train, High on Cocaine" in "Casey Jones" as well, so it's a case of "Where do you draw the line?" - I think the filtering on songs through "Rock Band" so far has been pretty good overall.

Yeah, it's only in the title.

As to your second point: yeah, it gets pretty sticky.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I realize it will seem inconsistent, but I like Green Day, and I'm not particularly offended when they drop f-bombs in their lyrics. But the Beethoven song really bugged me.

Thanks Barbaraann72 - I don't know the Grateful Dead's lyrics very well, so I didn't get that reference.

One more question(not so serious, but I'd be curious what the answer is): Can we post a link to rick astley's video if we say it is rick astley(aka rick roll)?

On gamefaqs they have this rule, but they moderate it quite literally. Not only can you not pull a rick roll, but you'll get modded for posting it even if you say it is rick astley.

Yeah, personally I don't even understand what the problem with rick rolling would be. When I'm rick rolled, I don't take offense to it, I'm more like 'alright, you got me'. I would just like to know why others would find it offensive to the point where I would be reprimanded by the mods for doing it.

If its just a YT link, thats one thing. But when you get one of those links that you have to bring upm the task manager just to stop it from playing, its annoying as hell.

I think closing the tab in Firefox also works.

Well, that's normally what I do (YT link). I mostly just use it to reduce tension in a thread. Only time I've used it here was when we were all waiting for the delayed DLC announcement a few weeks ago and there was a thread about things to watch while we're waiting for the DLC to be announced. I thought it was harmless and I don't think anyone got upset about it, just a couple of people who would have similar reactions as myself when I get rick rolled.

thank you for noticing my fight club reference, we for the most parts are all adults.....saying that, do we really need a filter that blocks out fcuk and siht, and azz.?...we use these words in everyday language...or at least i do. saying a song sihty is not offensive to anyone........sometimes saying the word "poop" in place of siht makes the statment less powerful..for example you stub your pinky toe on the edge of your couch and you scream out "oh poop!!!"...see now thats not the same as saying "oh siht"....we have words like this in order to express feeling.......oh yea i know i am miss spelling the bad words so HRMX dont block this post...lol

Fansites are fine - mostly this applies to vendors, eBay links, and pyramid schemes.

Thanks for the reply, in retrospect my topic may have been closed for bumping it after 2 days and only 3 views (I began it at 3:00 am, giving it little exposure). I did this, of course, before it was against the rules.

Yeah, I use explorer. I know. I know. Im in the stone age.

Were you the one that posted the DOOM Rick Roll? Cause that was genius.
