So after seing some utter sick and perverted ******** ask for kids aged 11 to sext him in campus chat I was wondering whether users banned for sexting were ever reported to the relevant child pornography investigation teams? I can't see how someone asking for naked pictures of prepubescent kids can be anything other than child porn????
Honestly nothing happens. Ppl just come back and keep doing it or they play something else. This isn't any different then the random person surfing social network sites for people to randomly msg/hit on. Obviously there is a safety issue but the rules, warnings, "silences" are meant to be part of the following process: an informed community policing itself. Once you have a break down where no one sees value in elements of the game, and there is no risk or punishment (their opinion) then the system breaks down. The devs have the TOS as rules to protect themselves from liabilities. That's first and foremost. Secondly they are to try and foster a decently behaved community. That being said, this is a college setting game. So thematically it should have been expected to some extent. Just do your thing, random ppl on campus looking to cyber doesn't affect your gameplay at all. It's an annoyance. Maybe against your morales. But it can be ignored, there are better things to get twisted up about then this.
Thanks for the reply cursed_soul. My issue isn't so much a couple of 16 year olds doing it but someone asking for 11 year old children is beyond anything I'd ever expect to see anywhere. Especially when they say they'll accept between 11 and 18. I believe the user has actually been banned as he shows up as invalid and did very quickly after posting so a mod must have caught him. I just wondered if police ever became involved.
And with all due respect, i do feel that predatory paedophiles looking for little kids on the net IS something to get worked up about. Not being rude but I have a daughter not too much younger than that.
