Moved.
Wrong forum and there's already a topic about this in this forum.

I don't think it's a CRB and I can't find the other topic. But thanks.

It's not a bug.
A user made those buildings so it's a CRB.

Yes its a building message and those are considered to be against the rules. Depending on their wording and meaning

But the PD cannot actually remove these projects, right? So this should be in general support?

No we cannot remove them but we forward it to programming and give the player a nice little talking to.

Sorry the current programming department policy is not to remove such projects.

That must be recent, then, as clearly offensive building messages like that used to be deleted.

I think the policy change followed dynamic naming?
I'd be fine with it... if it wasn't a deliberate waste of resources in a project that they have no intention of finishing.
And if signs are implemented to permantly change building names.

I thought that changing the names was meant to deter the incidents of such obnoxious acts. You can have a lovely little town but every time someone looks at the activities page they see twenty buildings started with obscene names or phrases.
Also, even with dynamic naming the original name is still there every time you drag someone or do other things that show up in the events. So even if I've renamed it I still have to drag Jane into the House of Pedophiles if that's where I need her to go. That is just very confusing in any case. You still have to remember all the original names of the buildings.
It is totally unacceptable to have things like The House of Pedophiles in game. Please change this policy back. We can't say ass on the forums but some idiot can put all kinds of offensive stuff all over the game just by investing five grams of wood or stone? That stinks.

My Mistake
I queried what the exact policy was and misread the reply
We only remove projects where they are really totally unacceptable in the
game (e.g. something about Hitler or so - containing loads of OOC
references or being totally offensive).
It was the last bit I missed , Yes these are clearly offensive and will be removed.
EDIT: These have now been removed
