psst I don't think you grew "up"
I really don't think you people understand the purpose of Miiverse. And by extension, I don't think you people understand how Nintendo works.
Nintendo is not in the video game industry in order to make gobs of money catering to rich little shits, they are in the video game industry to make games they can enjoy with their kids and family. Nintendo works to create this image where everyone is happy and having fun, but they are smart enough to realize that won't happen on it's own. How many stories have you heard about COD or other games with voicechat where 12 year olds are screaming insults and obscenities? If you had a child would you really want to nurture and encourage that behavior? Or do you really think that won't bleed into being hostile to people in the real world? You won't be kids forever, and eventually (even if it's a while away) you will begin to have adult responsibilities and need to learn how to act as a responsible adult. Nintendo has elected to take on the role of a wise and caring parent, encouraging more polite behavior while restricting (and punishing, if required) bad behavior that would make other people upset (or - yes even that - infringes on their intellectual rights and property). Tri Force Heros is a perfect example of this. Having no voice or text chat is occasionally frustrating when playing against those who don't know what is going on (fortunately it's rare as everyone seems to play the single player campaign first), but the emotions are awesome at allowing you to vent your frustration in a positive way (repeatedly tapping the "Nooooooo!" button does wonders for releasing frustration, and almost inevitably leads to the cheerleader or thumbs up emotion). Miiverse is an extension of this. It is not a place for you to put down things that others are enjoying or to ask for naked pictures, but a place for people to share the fun they are having and to find help for difficulties they are encountering. There is no need to rip on games or promote hacking. Leave hacking to this website, where people who want or need it can find information without bothering those who don't want or need to know about it.
I disagree in parts, since NoA is responsible for a lot of "cultural things" that everyone could learn and enjoy with it , but no, they need to " localize" everything and a lot of time kills the environment.
Having text and audio is really and big improvement to have ... else you liked to play with that player form another corner of the world, but you can't keep in touch because you can't just share contact!
Kids yelling insults? this is parental education problem, nintendo have nothing with it, isn't taking off the voice chat option a way to solve it, just to hide it, a way to prevent could be at least let you talk with your team mates added as friend by voice , and text for the others... you know, a friend calling you an asshole in an online game isn't an real offense, just an angry overflow lol
Without it things can be worse like, instead of yelling to online people, the guy get the angry out by trowing the control on the TV .. ok his is much but by rage a friend broke his gamecube control, I broke my 3Ds .... I really fell stupid for that but well xp
(I know a guy that really have some rage quits haha but he is luck than us, throw a lot f time his classic control and the only thing that broke was one of the R buttons :B and he does rage even more than us together )
Anyway Nintendo MUST be better in these aspect , stop wanting to make an "easy to adapt to world" stuff , it kill a lot of great content that could come together and hide it on the " safety" argument ... censorship on a MATURE RATED game is the most stupid thing that could happen .. and happened thanks western nintendo, also the only aim to the children public... nintendo have a lot of charismatic characters , yes! but this don't mena the content cant be deep or mature, not in a sexual or "hardcore" way, but in content, culture and information, I see japanese nintendo trying it a lot but come western one and down the level as they can, want to make everything " toy for kids" ... make look that games don't need work to be made
[sorry about offtopic]
about miiverse itself, It have much that can improve, but i does the job, is an social media for you nintendo gaming , is what it is and what they offer, not mean that is perfect this way and should't improve xp
