oooooh my god i saw Chris’ response and it has made me SO MAD that i have to respond - sorry to who’s probably already said this but consider it emphasis.
“minors 16-18 are NOT children” way to use the pedophile excuse chris. they’re certainly not adults either, i don’t care if you say ‘oh well they’re young adults not children’ because in some countries you could still be jailed for exposing them to sexual content or porn - which people DO send or reply with or put in their bios, which leads me to my next point.
“People do not visit our site to view porn or for sexual gratification” that is just plain incorrect. there are many users who come here to indulge in their fetishes - making everyone else uncomfortable. Many people who put random porn stars in their bios. Many people who have DMd and replied to users with porn both written and images. These people get forum banned for a couple of days at a time and then just come right back, and team bimbo refuses to do anything more permanent about them because they’re lining your pockets chris. These people make us feel unsafe and put MINORS (CHILDREN) at risk. I don’t know much about law but if someone sends porn in DMs it’s sexual harassment and is probably worse if sent to a minor. Maybe now that you’ve introduced jail sentences, something more long term and permanent can be done about this users - but like everything on this site, it probably won’t work.
“I would prefer to be an inclusive 13+ site” is that.... are you saying you would like to show under 16s porn related images and sex toys and DRUG REFERENCES. Don’t forget that was our other problem, but you like to pick and choose what you see i guess. I turned 18 a few months ago now, and as someone who’s been seeing NSFW and graphic stuff online, both written and images for YEARS i can safely say it’s fucked me up. I’m going to confidentially say it’s added to my mental illness and trauma - i would like to protect other CHILDREN from going through the same experience.
“Our democracy works” no it simply doesn’t. The site is overrun by bots, and voting goes down for hours at a time so half the site hasn’t even gotten a chance to vote. I don’t know what kind of democracy you think that is.
“ageism” your experience is not the same. ALSO UK age of consent laws (again someone has said this) don’t apply to virtual spaces and also the age of consent isn’t the same globally. Just because you broke laws doesn’t mean other people want to. We are not treating 16/17 year olds as demons and idiots, we want to keep them safe especially due to the predators on the site who WILL take advantage of these CHILDREN to fulfil their fetishises. In regards to these predators, i’m sure there’s many people on this site who are willing to give you the names of these predators - unfortunately many of us have had encounters and been harassed by at least one of these predators. Another point, we’ve been getting a lot new 16/17 year old players from tiktok or tumblr who clearly don’t know how a forum space works anyway - they don’t read the rules, they’re rude to forum guardians, they create offensive troll threads etc.
Okay, i see you’re changing fuckbuddies apparently, who knows how long that’ll take considering how long we’ve been asking you to rename ‘bimbo suicide’. please also consider renaming ‘have a sex’ which is also just grammatically incorrect, and ‘sniff power powder’.
Added point that Vegaaninen brought up, every other site gives you notice when they change the terms of use, why couldn’t you give us the same courtesy?
Another added point as i keep reading, i wonder if votes were slowing down during the state minister election because they COULD NOT VOTE.
And lastly i just want to say, i do trust Toki, she has done SO much on here for us. Chris i do not trust you, i don’t trust why you keep making excuses as to why 16/17 year olds aren’t children in your eyes. You’re beginning to sound just like the predators we so badly want off this site. When Toki gets to use her 90 day jail sentences, i hope you’re the first one.
Cheers
also i repeat Chris, if you do not do something- yes im referring to you mr Christopher sweetasnuts, not toki or any of the forum guardians, you- if you do not take action about how this site is unsafe for minors we will report you to cybersafety agencies for grooming minorsExactly this. Chris, do you realize we have the power to take legal action? I suggest you stop being stubborn—your remarks about age don’t match up with laws, which you are not familiar with it seems.
Marketability. Chris would like to get investors for the website and the more users there are on it, the more he thinks he can get people to invest.I’m confused as to why the age was lowered in the first place?
