    Another track removed because of the offensive option

    Why is it so easy to remove someone else's track?

    Anyway, I just got a message from TischProSoccer that his latest track had been taken off track central. Track is called Master of Puppets.
    Went to check and it's not in his track list.
    Really getting tired of seeing this happen over and over again.

    When TC does actually work...someone files complaints to get good tracks taken down just to be a$&@"*€. It stinks.

    On the plus side, I was able to report a track as offensive for containing a swastika in it. So there's a positive side to the function when it isnt abused.

    True b-Fly but the point we are trying to make here, is that you surely are not the only one to get a complaint in before it gets yanked. That being said how many complaints does it take? Is it one complaint and yer out, or are there teams of people who buy GT's and work together to complain about good tracks? It's probably one sad $&@%# who is jealous and MAYBE gets one friend to chime help his cause... I think it should take several complaints IMHO.

    I was just saying that there is a good reason for the actual function, but that its a shame its so abused. It has been stated before that people who misuse the function will have something noted against them......

    Don't worry, if people keep flagging tracks that then get restored... Well, we know about it and it's not good for their future reports.
    Hopefully this is something that is constantly being assessed and something is being done to counter the false reports. So RL are aware of the problem it seems and have a plan of action in place that we arent aware of.

    The main point was just to get TischProSoccer's track back up. Didn't mean to start anything here, just wanted to devs to put the track back.

    The track was reported, reviewed, and removed from TC.

    The 2 dolls/people that were on the bed upstairs is the reason why it was removed. If the creator removes those pieces then the track will be fine for sharing.

    Its all relative as it depends on how u view the swastika, it has been around for centuries and was actually used a a symbol of peace b4 the Nazis stole & manipulated it! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

    n if u cant be arsed to read all of that here`s the short ver http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika#European_Union

    Edit: I just noticed that my avatar has Cartman wearing the buddhist symbol of peace

    My latest track features a pentagram which is mostly accociated with satanism in the western world, thus it could be offensive to any other religion? ( not me, im agnostic, there all "just" symbols to me )

    I think the reporting a track for being offensive is usless, 1 thing that is offensive to me could be totally acceptible to another, ure never going to keep everyone happy.

    You should have an option to "report a user for being offensive" ie by abusing the game and releasing 5 tracks, each 3 secs long ...... flooding TC and ruining a part of the game that was ment to be a "highlight"
