I said I was 7 in pub chat and got silenced but I do support that ATA needs to step it up with age. Too many weirdos behind screens now and this game has been exposed with it long time ago.

obviously I’m not 7 ?

this sounds like such a good idea, but i’ll be honest, kids are smart. i can’t tell you how many times i lied about being over 18 (i’m 20 now). it’s so easy to use a fake birthday. :( sorry to be a negative nancy.
I did that too... but I addressed this loophole in my original post.

Texting and driving kills to many kids. Plus all the social media bullying and whatnot.

Let's just make cellphones like cigarettes
No. Cell phones are a good safety net. The world can be so dangerous, if a teen is out of the house with friends or a kid has to bus to school or something it's a good way to check in and make sure they're safe
Bull crap, no kids had cell phones in my day and we all survived just fine. Wanna know where your kid is? Call the parents of whoever they're hanging out with.

Cell phones are terrible for children.
 
ATA targets teens and kids. From the avatar designs to the overall app user interface. It screams kid-friendly childish bright colors and clearly manages to grasp their attention.

The game concept is circled around college and college life, I don’t understand why they chose to inch away from their original concept and go for an ABC Mouse type of look ??‍♂️

but also ata can’t really do that now, there are people who’ve been here years, who’ve spent irl money. Imagine all those complaints if those users are unable to access the app. Such a headache. Plus it’s not even ata fault for this, google play/Apple store don’t do enough to stop kids from having access to i.e 17+ apps. If parents stop giving their kid phones or just unlimited access to any/all apps with no watching then this is bound to happen in pimd or anywhere. Not even club penguin was safe :(

This nub knows what’s up
The game UI used to be a lot better, now it’s cartoony and shit
This thread is as useful as a trading avatar thread
 
It seems a little extra to lock them out just because of their age. If they’re dumb and reveal themselves they should get silenced and banned. Aside from that just leave them be. We’ve all been young once doing stuff we shouldn’t do . Thus, No Support.

Your language suggested this. You're like "well I wasn't clueless enough", insinuating that children that are victimized by pædos are clueless in negative fashion. Comments like that are what discourage child victims from coming forward, for fear of being seen as stupid or gullible (both words that have a negative connotation and place the blame on the victim instead of the perpetrator).

Lots of children know about pædophilia and the basics in avoiding them, but I think it's important to point out that grooming is a very real thing. Pædos are master manipulators and can easily warp an impressionable child's mind into thinking things they knew were wrong are actually okay.

I'm glad you didn't have to go through that trauma in your life though.

Do you then at least support my suggestion of more vigilance against pædos, since you're okay with children continuing to the app?

My concern for children using this app solely lies in the intense sexual nature of other users' comments, and the presence of predators. Game content in itself, while it has some adult themes, isn't really a huge deal to me as things like alcohol are something that is commonplace in society. As long as, like, binge-drinking isn't being glamorized, I don't think that is a very big deal.

It's the community on here that sucks, and is the reason I am concerned about children on the app.
