I was thinking if it isn't to hard having a box you click that pops out topics you can talk about. I also thought a radio would be nice and a no cursing rule.

If you can't think of a topic to talk about and need an RNG to do it for you, there's something wrong.
Why would you bother implementing a radio, when individual people can just find something they actually like instead of listening to the mainstream stuff radios spout? If you're using a channel that already exists, you're going to end up with like. Weather and traffic news from halfway across the world. And  doubt we can make a new radio just for your enjoyment.
Censor exists on the no-cursing rule. Consistent censoring is kickable.

TL:DR Unnecessary, brings no actual value to the site imo.
there is a few things that make me a little upset at this comment. the first thing is I didn't say it would be useful I said it would be nice and as far as I've seen there is no cover ups on the curse words lately.
Editted out the completely irrelevant part.

Apparently your definition of cussing is different. The ones censored include the main serious ones. Things like 'What the hell" or "God Dammit" don't count. If you have a problem with someone actually using things like the f word and censor avoiding, then tell an Mod or something. If they're saying words properly spelt that aren't on the censor list, you probably shouldn't be complaining.

In regards to your other point, I don't think most people plan on listening to London's traffic at peak hour, or Kanye West for the 5 hours (Yes, I'm exaggerating). Furthermore, if i doesn't really help with the site, there's no point using up the already small amount of time PM has to pay attention to this site on trivial things like that. And like I said, there's probably something off if you can't think of at least one topic to talk about it. Worst comes to worst, you can all talk about how bad life sucks. :D!.

Honestly, what I'm getting at is could it be nice? Maybe. But is it logically sound and something that people will actually bother using? Nah, not really.
I forgot Sempi has some relevant authority to question/shut down threads now. I'm still used to him being useless.

sempi's right, Stray. Having small extra little details that add no value, probably won't be used, can easily be done on the users own time and take up PM's time aren't worth much. If we had a massive demand for this thing then it'd be a different story, since it would then be an investment of time to make it a nicer place, but it seems to only be helping you out. Also, we can't help the censor avoiding, it's an offence anyway so no one should be doing it, if they are, report it (as sempi said).

It's bound to spark some amazing discussions.
@Scraf - sounds legit.
I've skimmed through the above comments so if this was already said I don't care.

PM is very busy, especially now, he hasn't been that active at all recently. He'll only implement important ideas, he doesn't have time to do the things that would be 'nice to have'. I find no use in this, but for future suggestions remember that.

I was thinking if it isn't to hard having a box you click that pops out topics you can talk about.

Everyone has different tastes. Topics would change constantly and make this useless. We aren't going to stop people who want to trade or battle either.

I also thought a radio would be nice

Copyright laws prevent this. We do have a plug.dj site, though the stuff on there doesn't work well with your next idea.

and a no cursing rule

Define "cursing" first.

Actually, you can get radio APIs that don't breach copyright.
Not that we need it
We could instead have Pokebase members singing Pokemon songs.
I WANT TO BE THE VERY BEST LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS! TO CATCH THEM IS MY REAL TEST, TO TRAIN THEM IS MY CAUSE! I WILL TRAVEL ACROSS THE LAND SEARCHING FAR AND WIDE. TEACH POKEMON TO UNDERSTAND THE POWER THAT'S INSIDE! POKEMON IT'S YOU AND ME. I KNOW IT'S MY DESTINY!
