Purge ERP from this game!

You should not stalk your child. Putting up a personal surveilance state in your home is not going to make you child trust you.

It's not stalking to make sure your child is being safe online and not engaging with those who would cause them harm. If your child is afraid of being monitored until they're of an age they can appropriately make decisions, probably means they're doing something wrong already.

But hey, if you'd rather your kid run wild online that's not my problem either. Just don't really get room to complain about them being around sexual influences at the same time.

If your child is afraid of telling you what they do, then they're not the one who fucked up.

I have no idea what this has to do with taking responsibility for your kids internet habits. Just comes down to:

- If you don't want your kid around sexual stuff then put up parental blocks.

- If you don't want to or don't care enough to then you don't really have room to demand the internet babysit your child for you. That should be your job as a parent to establish rules in your household.

there's a big difference between "stalking" your child, and taking responsibility and taking care of your child

Dropping by to tell people in here to check their kids search history because odds are you're already too late on keeping them protected from sexual things.

Time to realize this isn't the 80s or 90s anymore and kids are exposed to sexual content on the regular via YouTube and other platforms.

Instead of trying to stop places from having sexual content, do your job as a parent and put up parental blocks on websites. Install a keylogger on your kids computer and check it every week or two to see what they're typing to people or in their search bar. If you're that concerned about it, take the steps needed to keep your kids away from stuff you don't want them to see.

It is not our job to babysit your kids. It is not Square's job to babysit your kids. That's YOUR job.

+1 on this. People are too naieve to think their 13 year old hasn’t been opened to what a “private part” is or been with a friend and googled a “sex site”. We all were young. Think what you did.

So long as your pf adverts say 18+ idgaf what you do. Full on public erp, still dont care just dont be upset if some tight wad reports you ya know? If a minor wasn't taught to stay away from these things that's not any other players fault. Can it lead to you possibly interacting with one? Ofc there's always that chance (though tbh I dont believe we have axsizable amount of the in the game do to its sub nature).

I don't believe as well that if you mistakingly did erp with a minor that you're automatically a pedo (so long as that's not the secret intent).
Think of the kids is bull and always will be. Parents get off your ass n do your jobs plz n ty!!!!

Oh wow, I haven't logged into the forums for a couple of days and said to myself "Man, where is the front page troll thread? There's usually at least one!" Here it is!

I don’t understand why you think this is a troll post. It’s a legit problem in the game.

I don’t understand why you think this is a troll post. It’s a legit problem in the game.

this statement is a little hard to buy given your forum name and all the connotations of the number you used.

justify it however you wish, but the entire presentation does rather scream troll.

ESRB doesn't rate player interactions.

Sorry.

ESRB doesn't rate player interactions.

Sorry.

Nope, but law enforcement does.

And who's reporting to law enforcement whatnow?

"yes, hello, officer, I'd like to report a party listing in a video game that's claiming to be 18+... What's that? Why are you laughing??"

My experience, cops won't do shit. My nephew was being molested by a neighbor and they didn't do shit about that. Go look at the problem in the UK with grooming gangs.

You're worried about what ifs in a video game when there's more important shit actually going on in the world and parents are effing clueless because they can't be arsed to supervise their kids. And social media is more dangerous to this than the game is.

You're singling out a problem that's really tiny in the grand scheme of things, and even if they made it fully against terms of service, who's going to report? Just listing 18+ isn't enough for a ban. And if you have access to someone's private chat, that means you're a guilty participant.

Wow. Seriously, just wow. You completely missed the point in the most spectacularly horrible way possible, and you clearly haven't read my feelings on ERP earlier in this thread besides. I never once mentioned 18+ ads either. If you had done even a sliver of prior reading, you would know what I was talking about.
