As amusing as this is, it also leads me to some concerns....

Basically the discussion of 'porn'. I wonder if Blizz is going to do something to prevent this sort of thing.

Though I do realize the game is rated M for mature, that's due to smoking, alcohol, swearing and violence. That sort of thing, I don't really censor my kids from too much (depends on how extreme), but my 10 year old daughter plays daily and has become a HUGE fan of the custom games.

She's fully sex aware, but the last thing I need to be worried about is whether some jackass is going to post some hardcore pr0n into their map and call it the newest bestest tower defense.

I can see that conversation going over well..."You see uh hun....the pizza delivery guy, and that girl were on the pool table doing that because...uh...."

[Dauntless]

It's very intriguing that this is possible, while you can't publish maps if they have words like blow or black in them..

[Maul]

Really goes to show how much potential there is with the Galaxy editor. I can only imagine that over time it's going to get more powerful and the developers are never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you.

DOTA?

Very true. While I do not have children, much less brothers or sisters that are very young, I don't want to join a game only to find out that it's some video of two girls doing things that are better left to the imagination and not in a video game. Worse yet, if someone in my household walks in at the exact worst moment, I'm going to have to explain that I'm not trying to watch porn but that I was trying to play a video game.

"What the heck is that?"
"Erm, good question. I guess it's a 'porn map'."
"What?"
"I think it's better that I just *Alt + F4* do that and never speak of this again..."

[Maxa]

Perhaps, but how much more hazardous is this than simply surfing the web, really? I suspect that the risks involved here are basically negligible.

You see, I have never randomly clicked anything so that has never happened to me. I only go to sites that I know or trust. And if it is something harmful, which most pornographic things are from what I hear as well as the talk about all the Trojans and viruses, Avast! automatically aborts the connection so not only do you not connect, but you don't see anything.

[Drake Clawfang]

Waiting for someone to pop in and say "porn maps".

Guess it would make those "strip *****" maps more rewarding....in all honesty I confess I joined such a map one time to see what the hell they were like. I'll say nothing more on the matter.

Joking aside, a rickroll map like this is funny, but porn maps and potentially worse need to be curbed. A possible solution is the ability to report maps to Blizzard for offensive or questionable content. Guess that is one plus of the maps being hosted on their servers, they can control their distribution to positive effect too, not just negative.

+1 internets for you.

Map maturity ratings + Parental control. That is all.
