Feedback talk:User/Yoshida Keiji/Alliance Chat split for Kids and Adults

Just for clarification, what do you mean by this sentence? "Maybe woman would not like the idea but for administration purposes as title says..." --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ceangal (talk • contribs) at 02:13, 2012 March 19 (UTC).

I thought that worlwide...people are gentle and polite and dont ask age to females as in cultural gesture of manly manners. Yoshida Keiji talk 17:45, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

I understand the reasoning behind your suggestion. However, listing someone's age - male or female - on the Internet is never a good idea. Doing so would make GW2 a playground for sexual predators/pedophiles.

Also, how do you control this? What's to stop a 13 year old from listing themselves as a 31 year old or vice versa?

Though I see merit in wanting a chat that is child-specific (presumably for the purpose of keeping it "clean"), there's no practical way to implement this across the Internet or within a game. Instead, it comes down to the old-fashioned, tried-and-true method; be a good parent by monitoring and controlling what you allow your children to access online. If you don't want your kids being exposed to foul language and adult discussion topics, then don't let them play a game where that is a potential risk.

As far as we know, there aren't going to be alliances in GW2. The beta builds certainly seem to confirm this (though things do change). As GW3M has said, there is no true way to guarantee a person is whatever age they say on the internet. There is also a point to be made that maturity levels doesn't always match up with the age of a person. So, for GLs out there, ye can either restrict certain things for your chat, like swearing and sex talk, or you can try to only have mature members in your guild (pay enough attention and you can make an educated guess who is only a tyke), or you could simply let it be. It is up to parents to keep kids in line.--Will Greyhawk 02:40, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
