    I have made a informational video for demonstration.

    https://user.uploads.dev/file/c7f1b2677cb4c85ac301b2c2f3d9d732.mp4

    you see, the dev being one individual who cant be on most hours of their free time has set up this system where we as users are able to just block people who we no longer wish to interact with. this gets better though, so after so many users block a person for their troll antics of bad behavior there is a automod response that will ban said individual, it’s not exactly like that but im not trying to bore anyone with technicals. So in conclusion just block the kid and don’t worry about them. i think that is best action that may be taken as that gen in particular does not have a active moderator its one of the demo gens. best of luck.

      I’m saying minors shouldn’t be in 18+, not really for their safety, but because it makes adults feel weird. like, anything they say or share might suddenly look wrong. imagine someone just says they’re 16 and walks into an adult changing room, the whole mood drops, people stop talking, not cause they did something bad, but cause no one wants to risk it.

      even if I block that minor, it doesn’t fix it. I can still see other adults chatting with them, and I know it’s happening. some adults don’t even care it’s a minor, they just keep going like nothing’s wrong, and it makes everything awkward.

        good point tbh. i rarely interact in 18+ areas so i lack that perspective, but it makes sense. also how being a pedo ‘damns’ an adult so they have to be absolutely clearly not a pedo. Which is complicated by someone under 18 being in the chat. The adult cant comfortably tell their friends they were talking in their sexy chat with someone underrage cuz that’s pedo behavior.

        i get where u are coming from better now i think. thank you.

      Moderation of the kind you’re talking about is a full time job and an industry. Yahoo once had a thriving chatroom service, but they couldn’t stop minors from using it (or adults from talking to minors) and they took it down. The entire service. They were years ahead of other social media services in that department and they just tanked it because they didn’t want the risk.

      If a billion dollar company can’t stop this from happening, I wouldn’t invest too much grief in making this place controlled.

      I would only focus on reporting people who are actually trying to commit a crime against children. Grooming and other sleaziness. The atmosphere should be vigilant against actual pedos coming here to find targets.

    Has anybody given thought to the idea that this may be an adult who is “age-playing” or maybe even a cop trying to catch someone? Just saying…unless you can visually verify (i.e.- an ID) you have no idea if the person actually is a minor or just faking it. I would suggest ignoring that individual and keep doing what you do.

        Is nutty behavior seeing a 16 year old on a chat forum and reacting that he should be banned.

        Like… what you do is completely crazy behavior.

        I’m stopping you in your tracks here bud. Time-out. Is what I wanna say.

          It’s called an 18+ channel for a reason bud. Didn’t know some people were so okay with letting minors interact in 18+ channels.

          If only you had finished your education properly, you did not need to rely on AIs for feeding you basic sentences.

            Tell you what ; If ganking up on strangers online like this is what happens in perchance chats I’m happy the 16 year olds stay clear of it.

            Have your internet points. Just keep whatever strange community you have in this chat away from me.

              im an innocent little law abiding citizen so pretend i didnt say anything but… secretly I’m on your side in this type of debate. I personally am a protector of people instead of call the cops on them. If a person wants to be in a place and isnt hurting anyone, idc what their age, gender, nationality is. I will help them unless they are a bad person. But also if the neighbor was an immigrant, I would probably protect them instead of call ICE on them. Treat others how you want to be treated. Everyone’s different I guess.

              Also tho, pretend i didnt say anything because publically saying i would break rules would be stupid. you must have hallucinated that i seemed to say it.

              some people are safe places for others. some arent

                “some people are safe places for others. some aren’t” that’s the point, isn’t it? It’s not about ratting someone out, it’s to protect minors. So you comparing it to “calling the cops/ICE” doesn’t fit. Fact is, there are ppl in this world that aren’t nice at all. And I’m very sorry, but a minor that openly admits being under 18 in an 18+ channel is obviously not smart enough/too naive to deal with such things and needs that kind of protection.

                  good point. yes ive seen a kid try to trap a pedo and be messed up by simply being too naive. tho simultaneously, i thank my experiences as a kid in all sorts of obscure chatrooms for teaching me internet savvyness and fluency. i learned before 10years old to never give my address or personal information. i’ve seen both types.

                  i also agree stating they are under 18 is a show they are in the naive group and, in that case, resulting restriction is actually a good lesson for them, whether to improve their internet savvyness or protect them.

                No way this guy says “If a person wants to be in a place and isnt hurting anyone, idc what their age, gender, nationality is. I will help them unless they are a bad person”. There you have it folks, coming from a headoverheels mod himself.

                  looking at this person’s profile, literally 1 out of all of their 23 posts is not aggressive and hateful.
