LittleBigPlanet will be moderated News

PlayStation 3 News by Ellie Gibson

15 April, 2008

Sony has confirmed to Eurogamer that it plans to moderate user-generated content in forthcoming PS3 exclusive LittleBigPlanet.

The news comes after TheSixthAxis reported users will be able to rate their own and each others' content, with legal action a possibility if "mature content" gets out of hand.

A Sony spokesperson has since confirmed, "We'll be moderating LittleBigPlanet's user-generated content in the same manner as we moderate all our online games. A good example of this is My SingStar."

In other words Sony will be keeping an eye out for filthy stuff, and will have the power to delete it if necessary.

LittleBigPlanet is out this September. See what all the fuss is about over on the gamepage.

Let's see if they will have more success than Google in keeping offensive material off their servers.

Sad, but unfortunately very neccesary measure in this day and age. You only need to look at the Mark Speight - RIP thread on Eurogamers on forum that some people have got no idea how to be sensitive to other people's feelings.

We knew this from the very first preview, in Edge. They even discussed a little of how it would work in that preview. They have tools for quickly looking at all user-imported content in a given level.

suppose its the same as no porn on youtube, suppose you could always create a dongland level as long as you don't distribute it ;)

@Charm

would you really though? I imagine quite a lot of user-pr0n wouldn't be that nice to watch ;)

"suppose its the same as no porn on youtube"

Youtube now allow nudity in a non-sexual context and soft porn with camwhores in tiny thongs and bras, so I doubt it'll be too long before they go there.

Reasonable, I'd say it would be "inviting trouble" if they didn't.

Eurogamer fail to report that any LBP content can still be freely shared among friends without moderation.

"However, it is fine if you create something obscene as long as you do not upload the level to the community, so you can still share it in your own circle of friends, regardless of how perverted it would be to see a cute little sackboy stood next to a penis that's 5 times his size."

Kinda makes you wonder.
What inventive gros sex theme could you pass under Sony's radar.

A level that, after some player interaction (physics wise) shows obsene forms.

Just like in school, trying stuff like this is way more cool if you've got an opposing force trying to stop you.

Okay, I see the Killer Schlong idea is already taken.

Back to the drawing board then.

Project "infinite vulva" this time. I home no-one steals this my chasmthastic idea.

@ JSPOOLE

True, but a scoring system, like YouTube, could easily fix that.
Some diamonds will get lost in the shuffle, but no piece of crap will come out on top.
