In my opinion, you really shouldn't be here to begin with

C'mon man, that's rough.  He only bought an 18+ game that has prostitution, torture, killing, bad words, nude strippers, random NPCs yelling how they want to fuck in someone's car, and middle fingers being extended in traffic.  That's no reason to suggest the whole server shouldn't change because text ads with no images make him uncomfortable.  I think it's great how the community is rallying around him.  I wish people gave that much of shit about my feelings.

np, and to highlight that again as it might have slipped:

 

The majority of such ads is already banned (in theory). It's just not enforced. No one's arguing that. I am against this suggestion as it will also affect seriously roleplayed businesses that serve a specific sector.

All it needs is stricter enforcement (If you think there was more escort ads than usually recently- not only you).

That's why I edited the suggestion and made it so that there's an additional section added to /ads which mainly focuses on these types of businesses. If anything, it will highlight these businesses more as they will protrude over the other types of advertisements, only to those who actually want to engage in that role play rather than your typical Joe like me who does not want to see these advertisements at all.

As I explicitly stated, I am a minor

 

Exactly, man.  GTAW Administration has always maintained this server as welcoming to minor players who can conduct themselves in accordance with the server's rules and high rp standards.  But, what you're doing now is trying limit what everybody else can do because you're uncomfortable with something that is otherwise completely within the rules.  If you think rules are being broken, report it.  If you think it's a case of poor rp, report it.  Don't come into a space where you know this kind of stuff goes on (as per server rules) and then tell everyone else they have to change.  That's really not cool.  If you don't like something, you don't need to lead with that you're underage, unless you're trying to use that as leverage, which is also not cool.  Just say you're uncomfortable.  Your thoughts and opinions are just as valid no matter how old you are.  I gotta tell you man, the whole What About The Children line of attack is crap.  It's like going into a restaurant that has a bar and saying people shouldn't be allowed to drink because it offends you because you're underage.  If it's a real problem and you really don't like it, then voluntarily find somewhere else to play even though you are welcome here.  If you want to play with the big kids, then accept that the big kids play how they play, and don't try to force them to change to suit yourself.

 

That said, if the admin team thinks this is a big enough issue to care about, then I support a NSFW section in the ads, and ads that are placed in that section don't appear as notifications during play.

In regards to being under-aged and playing an M rated game, this is an age old argument that has occurred before you stepped foot on GTA:W, in fact, before GTA:W even existed. Many people are aware the GTA franchise is not for minors, but people will still play it anyway, as with any M rated game.

 

I am asking to not have sexual related advertisements forced down my throat, this is not me solely asking for that because I am a minor, as with the suggestion, there are several people who are of age who still find these advertisements disgusting and again do not want them to be forced down their throats.

 

Name me one heavy city role playing space that I should be referred to that would be of suit to my age range as you feel as "There are plenty of roleplaying spaces that don't involve mature subject matter by default."

And my point is that it's really not our problem if you decide to flagrantly ignore the warnings of the base game's rating. An epileptic shouldn't walk into EDM concerts, a diabetic shouldn't enter an eating contest, and minors shouldn't play GTA. Those who choose to ignore the warnings will suffer the consequences.

 

If your being a minor has nothing to do with the suggestion, then don't bring it up in the suggestion thread. The very fact you decided to mention it seems to indicate you believe it should factor into the decision. Again, I really don't see a problem with segregating content by tags, but I'm making abundantly clear that underage players don't belong on this server.

 

You can't say "name me one strip club that doesn't have titties" and expect an answer. "Heavy city roleplay" is typically going to involve themes you're frankly not old enough for yet. You're going to have to find another setting.

great suggestion. i'd love to be able to turn nsfw ads off cause i really don't wanna see them anymore. i think having a new /ad category that is turned on by default would be amazing as it wouldn't affect the erp scene negatively in terms of business, but allows people that do not want to be part of that community to just toggle it off.
