This thread is turning into a flame thread and beginning to incite a riot and will be locked. Any further threads inciting a forum riot will be locked as well. We understand your concerns with the new rule changes, however, as others have already stated, being able to state your age or gender does not instantly make someone a 'perv'. We want new players to be able to speak freely and meet other players without being silenced for something most people talk about in online games anyways. The personal information that is still silenceable is information that could be used to locate someone - contact information, location (city), address, name, etc. The personal information that is now allowed could not be used to locate a person or cyber stalk them. As for the concern of actual stalkers, this is why we explicitly reminded everyone how to block contact with them. This is a game that is on the internet and it is up to players to take responsibility for themselves to talk to strangers online in a safe fashion. That is also why we chose to remind everyone that this is indeed a 17+ game, each player is responsible for their own well being while interacting online here.
