Nintendo "HR" must approve your Miiverse posts (30 mins delay)

Nintendo "human resources" must approve your Miiverse posts - Iwata: "I think 30 minutes [delay] should be acceptable".

Nintendo "human resources" must approve your Miiverse posts By Tom Phillips Published 7 June, 2012 Iwata: "I think 30 minutes [delay] should be acceptable".

Messages posted to Miiverse, Nintendo's suite of Wii U social functions, could face a delay of around 30 minutes to appear.

This is because the social networking service will be actively moderated by Nintendo-employed "human resources" personnel.

Each message posted to Miiverse, displayed on the Wii U desktop and in specific areas in Wii U software, will need to be read and verified before it becomes visible.
Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata said he thought a delay of half an hour when posting messages was fine.

"The attraction of a social network is the immediacy of the feedback," Iwata explained to LA Times. But Nintendo needed to balance that with the need to make the service child-friendly, he continued.

"Personally, I think 30 minutes [delay] should be acceptable."

But even this estimate is subject to change, depending on how many people are trying to use the service and the number of Nintendo staff available to read through messages.

Each post will be automatically screened by a computer first, presumably to remove any obvious swears. Users will also be able to flag up any comments/penis pictures that get through the other filters.

I recommend reading through the gaf thread.. heaps of laughs

Also this is counter productive.. nintendo catering to the little kids again..

Cant do a smart thing like parental control settings.....

Nintendo trying to eliminate trolls on a family-friendly system is bad? K.

This will have some fun consequences, here and in the real world.

Should be fun.

Well, it will get rid of those kids who keep swearing over the net, thinking they are cool like that.

30 min delay on public Miiverse posts, it's not a 30 min. delay for known friends...

More bad news about the Wii U :( Making me not very interested in the console.

And I thought SW was bad :P

Nice to know I won't see immature Sexual Organ/Orientation/Racist/Rude/etc posts on my WiiU Screen.

This is dumb. Parents should be monitoring their kids, not some online service.AcidSoldner

It's not just monitoring for kids. Parents don't want to see that garbage either. Trolls are ruining online communities everywhere

Parental controls are definitely needed when it comes to the social aspect. Just implement parental controls and that should eliminate the need for HR.

Like it or not, Nintendo likes to keep their sh!t family friendly. There's no way Nintendo is going to allow people to tell other people to jump off a bridge and kill themselves just because they can't figure something out.

That much of a delay is ridiculous. That said, the way they showed those messages popping up in the middle of games; I guess would be hell for spoilers so they need some type of monitoring.

And people say Nintendo is not out of touch with modern day reality....

You can still enjoy rampant racism, sexism, penis jokes, homophobia, and whatnot. Just not in the public domain, find some friends who enjoy that...

Well they just lost the XBL and PSN racist and homophobic crowd:lol:

Or maybe they've ust gained them? hmmmm

this is ok....no point in asking for help in a game and end up either getting told "you suck, omg how can you be stuck at this part...its soooooo easy, i'm like way better than you!" or getting a spoiler of some sorts

it'll prolly be around 30 minutes around launch time...but i see it shortening to 15 once everything is smooth sailing later and nintendo gets a better idea on how many HR people they'll need

How would you like that job of censoring all those post? :P I'm sure if they have some automated process that does it, people will find a way around it. Heil68

lol, well it'd be a really easy job...plus i'm sure there would be alot of funny crap you get to see people say all day

I think 30 minutes [delay] should be acceptable

I can see what they're trying to do, but...

I think 30 minutes [delay] should be acceptablestarjet905

How the hell is that acceptable?

Lol, if only my dad worked for Nintendo :D

He's a Human Resources Director for WPP Group :p

I hope there is an option to remove public msgs all together.

They only ones that don't need approval from Nintendo's HR is posts of people on your friends list if they are friend to friend post it wont be monitored.

Nintendo sucks.

Not really sure I see where the problem is.

""The attraction of a social network is the immediacy of the feedback"
"30 minutes to appear"

I am usually don't like to get involved in this dirty war between the consoles but judging from these replies I can't help but to get slightly irritated. Had this been Microsoft, or (especially) Sony, this would've been a complete ****storm of hate and rage but as usual, Nintendo is treated differently. Like "the little good boy of the family". They can just get away with anything. Microsoft and Sony are evil greedy corporations but Nintendo is all about spreading love and joy!

what a waste of manpower from a company standpoint if you ask me.

Just make it like facebook only those you add can see your messages, makes mroe sense.

That's not surprising at all. It's Nintendo...the Disney of videogames.
