I know several things...that this post will be unpopular and get flamed. So I am not going to answer and start a flamewar. And I know that vendors need to advertise their products.

BUT...

Can we please not have pictures of zombies with blood dripping from their mouths? Not only would I not want the kids to see that, and im by no meansd a prude but I dont want to see that as im browsing the products etc. Nudity has a filter so can we apply that to the blood and gore of Zombies?

Thanks, just my two cents.

I second that!!

Sounds reasonable really - I'm not at all fussed about that kind of thing but I can see where it could cause problems.  Have to make sure the relevant tags are used and enforced though but that shouldn't be a problem - either that or use the existing product thumbnail advisory perhaps?

I actually agree with making really graphic violence/gore promos NSFW, since my understanding is that in many European countries that's more of a taboo or censored than partial nudity.

Most probably - Europe doesn't have as many hangups about nudity as the US does for some reason

We can actually be a little more stringent when reviewing these since they do have "run of the site" they actually should be a little more tame than promo images and such since there is not a filter for those.

 

So we apologize for this and I will make sure that we are looking more closely at these before activation and hopefully we can resolve any uncomfortable banner ads .

 

 

Thanks
