These Forza forums are full of funny

Forzamotorsport.net Forums - Storefront Moderation Moronic.

Good day.

I'm an up and coming FM3 Painter, an experienced graphic designer in the realm of reality, and I'm also quite pissed off. I make a beautiful marijuana leaf design, and I get put under review for it. Some of the painters who decide to upload to the storefront should be banned just for the low quality of their mediocre content. Now, I see in the "turn 10 terms of service" mumbo jumbo that pretty much limits all of the interesting graphic groups:

"

Q: I received the following message while trying to access a feature in the game "Your gamertag has been banned from this feature. For more information about Xbox LIVE's terms and services agreement, please visit Forzamotorsport.net". What did I do wrong?

A: If you have received this message then you have been banned from a specific feature on Xbox LIVE. This can happen if you upload offensive materials to the Storefront/Auction House, or use exploits and cheats to better your lap times. If it is your first time ban it will most likely be temporary, however depending on your offence we reserve the right to permanently ban you from a given feature. The duration of your ban will be displayed in a message sent to your Forza Motorsport 3 “Message Center” which can be found by navigating to the “My Profile” section of the Forza 3 main menu.

Currently we are banning users who have created an item that contains any of the following elements:

* Depictions of nudity and/or sexual themes and suggestions. This includes “censored” designs or items that are deemed inappropriate.
* Depictions of racism, hate crimes, bigotry, and discrimination. This includes any references to the Nazi regime.
* Depictions of drugs and/or narcotics.
* Fraudulent depictions used to trick players into purchasing your item.
* Derogatory comments or remarks targeted at another user, person, or group.
* Offensive language and profanity.
* Any political references that we deem as innapropriate or offensive.

So yes as you can see you have violated the terms and service and have recevied a temporay ban as a first warning. It will last for 2 weeks.

Thanks,"



Now, I will say that it is utterly ridiculous that in ANY country, regardless of their stringent regulations on free speech (the under developed countries) that somehow magically managed to get FM3 to release there, it is asinine for an image of a LEAF. From NATURE, to be excluded because it is a "drug reference". No, no it is not. That is a sociological adaptation of the image, and a negative one at that. Marijuana is not a narcotic. And I refuse it to be treated as one. I will keep the syringes and crack pipes off of my cars, but if I am not allowed to replicate a gorgeous leaf produced by mother nature, I will not add any more of my art to the community. It's outrageous.

Another segment of that moderators post states "political" graphics will be banned as they deem fit. SCREW YOU. You folks haven't earned the right to delegate who can say what about whatever politician, you socialist bastards. Stop limiting content that would otherwise take off. You're not accountable for it, as the ESRB rating for the online features such as the Storefront clearly states that anything that happens on the internet connection will not be holding Turn10 liable. This is all one big idiotic mistake. To think that some players were banned for their pot leaf content, and not just put under review.

This experience will really determine what my role in this community is. Or is not.

I've chewed it over for a fortnight and can finally agree with myself that GT3 has finally been bettered...if Forza 3 had matched those nervy tyre moments in GT3 when grip was going and you were fighting to gain pit time it would have been PERFECT.

Having played it now prety much solid whenever i get the chance...(not touched the normal staple of my txbox time fifa 10), i can honestly say I'm just so so pleased with FM3. Its given me some awesome moments already, yes it has some problems but some of which really in the grand scheme dont matter that much. Had a race last night in R3 porshce at silverstone and was a battle on hard all the way (i had assists like TCS ABS cause in real life they have these ) jsut a great great moment for me....
i dont like the non race tracks but i can see why they are there, it just about pulls off the hardest of things, its a game that appeals to alot of different gamers tates, and you know it just about does it give or take, thats a big task...

I love this game, best racer Ive played by far.
Easy for me to get used to, the computer is funny when they smash on the first corner of races

I just had a few races on this before I left for work and forgot how good it was. I won my super Audi R8 5.2 FSI thingy andf painted it a simple white, and put a set of BBS Alloys and painted them Manchester City Blue. Looks fucking sick

Doubt I'll be on it for a while now though
