Nintendo Deleted a Very Popular ‘Mario Maker 2' Stage Without Explanation - Waypoint

Seems to me like despite being told by someone that Nintendo had no problem with the word "poo", they clearly had a problem with the word "poo".
I dunno, seems straight-forward to me. Nintendo will remove things that are even mildly offensive.
Whatever GrandPooBear claims a Nintendo rep told him, I'm 99% sure it's the title. I'm sure enough people complained that it eventually reached someone with no knowledge of this person, and they removed the level.
I would put my metaphorical chips on this being the explanation. Does strike me as odd that it appears to be only one stage out of multiple named "Pile of Poo" that has been affected, however.
Cue tons of stages being made with poo in them, not being deleted, and people realizing a singular moderator deleting a singular stage in one game doesn't represent all of Nintendo
Aside from the normal offensive words, Nintendo also finds these offensive:
Poo
Butt
Virtual Console
;)
Yeah, I'm going to guess someone wrote an outraged mail to Nintendo "My kid played a stage, and it said POO! how can you even sleep at night??" or something. Might even have been someone trying to troll GrandPOOBear. It's a shame, he's a great speed runner, but I can totally see how that would be an issue.
Nintendo is just so bad at this. How are they still so bad at online related things, theyve had more than a literal decade to adapt.
Sure, they find butt offensive yet have characters like Twintelle, BotW Zelda and Pyra/Mythra...
It's literally the job of moderators to represent Nintendo.
I'm leaning towards trolls flagging it due to his popularity and Nintendo didn't have a system in place to actually vet these. If that's the case I hope they're able to restore it.

I know, it was on the VC too. But still no formal remake or remaster. Just ports.
See the tweet below. Nintendo confirmed it's not his name.
He actually tweeted out that he was part of the origin of his name.
Nintendo's handling of the Mario Maker community has been overall quite poor. They've patched out a bunch of things that the first game had that were harmless glitches that many people loved to build levels with while not fixing game breaking glitches. SMM2 also has some ridiculously broken glitches. They've taken out 100 Mario mode and replaced it with endless which most streamers agree is inferior. The ability to download other people's levels to see how they did certain tricks is also gone. And the new level recommendation system is broken. Overall the sequel has been pretty hostile to the community that made the first one flourish.

Poo is literally a nintendo character.
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the single player and I'm almost done with the castle but when I'm done, it's getting traded in towards Fire Emblem.
The multiplayer Is SO disappointing and barely functional online. Then to start deleting levels is just another notch against the game. I was really looking forward to MM2 but the way Nintendo are handling things is starting to piss me off.

It sounds like he is getting reported a lot through both games for some reason and the moderators are acting on those reports.
Is he an isolated incident or are there others?
Nintendo may not have an issue with the word Poo but maybe thousands of parents playing the game with their kids do?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
poo is universal. that'd be the absolute height of prudishness

Weird how they wiped up all of his levels from Mario Maker 1 and called it an "accident" and now this happens. Seems like they're purposefully doing it for some reason.
Poo isn't a dirty word. Any parent who is offended by that word is a fucking idiot.
For as awesome as MM2 is, it's a definite bummer that Nintendo didn't revamp basically any aspect of the sharing/discovering of courses.
I don't disagree. If their auto-mod system has a reporting threshold that takes down levels if it is exceeded (either percentage plays or a fixed number of reports), I can see that being the issue though. Especially on popular, high visibility levels like this one was.
For real. My 2 year old loves pointing at her butt while exclaiming "POO POO"
