I think this is sweet, and a sweet rule. Internet these days have gotten so bad by everybody basically bashing other people for the dumbest reasons and shit. It'd be a nice change to have a friendly community.
Take into account that people won't magically become better and nicer just because there's a distinct possibility that they may be banned for using unsavoury language - they'll pretend and still be assholes on the next available opportunity. In fact, they may be even worse due to pent-up anger.

TBH I can understand that they are oversensible in public Miiverse, as long as they don't do this between friends... Now that would be messed up.

At least this was a temporary bann!

Wait what, you got $20 on your eShop for that?! :blink:
What other service would give you compensation for something like that? It's only a 3 day ban...

In a lot of ways, "retardation" is a technical term as much as "n*gger" was a good few years ago.
It's still too much sweat over a joke in my opinion, but hey! It's a pejorative term, apparently.
Er, you mean n****. n**** is the technical term, with your example being a derivative.

Nintendo is looking to money as always with this censorship. They just saving their sales. A lot of parents are still YES, I let them play what they want. I've played doom, wolfentein 3d, etc when I was a kid, and I'm not a murder now.

And the fact that WiiU has gory games do not change the fact that it was made for children. Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, etc are franchises for children, even that many adults (like me) play it.

-.-" re-read it... it should have said:
Would you buy zombieU for your children....
I've played gory games aswell, when I was a child, but my parents didn't aproveve of it, nor did they buy them for me.
I think parents shouldn't buy gory games for children, they should buy those themselfs when they think they can play them :/

I note th OP has updated the original post but, as far as I can see at least, has not mentioned that in the responses. So I though I might just bring that to everybody's attention.

Has anybody stopped to think that maybe it was LESS to do with the "re" and more to do with the "TARDIS" that he was moderated at all? Let's face it; hardcore games it may have, but the WiiU is still primarily a family console. Aint nothing gonna turn families away more than geeky jokes that relate to Dr Who, Star Wars, Star Terk, or any other geeky SciFi series.

Just a thought, like...

I fail to see the logic in your argument.

This is in no way outside of the expectations of Nintendo. Nintendo of America is a overly-sensitive corporation that wants to ensure that everyone is wrapped in bubble wrap before they go outside.

Let's remember; this is the same company that didn't want Dragon Quest to be released in the United States because of Religious symbolism in the games.
Heck, I'm surprised that Nintendo even allowed games like Assassin's Creed III and COD : BLOPS on their console.
The Wii U would not be a good console to troll little kids on, as I think the Nintendo Enforcement Team would be far worse than the Xbox Life Enforcement Team!
Also, if you are under 16 years old, your parents need to pay $0.50 to make your account available online, or you could just lie about your age and make an adult account for free... >.>

I've had my profile temporarily suspended for posting links to my Swapnote game threads on 3DSForums. I also had a post removed because I wished everyone a 'Patrick Swayze Xmas' (if you've seen Mystery Science Theater 3000, you'll know what i'm talking about' I'm also nervous and wonder if i'll get banned for my Simpsons quote earlier "Knife goes in, guts come out, that's what Osaka Seafood Concern is all about" It was in reply to a drawing of a Blooper asking that I don't eat it. I HAD to post that Simpsons quote, it just had to be done. =)

Well at least direct messages to other users don't get you banned. I drew a penis to some guy I have on my friend list and nothing happened :P
I was just testing if anything would happen and it didn't.
