Hey everyone, Crymson here. So I would just like to rant on a few topics that are really getting under my skin. As an Admin, or well a Chatmod, I am privy to certain things on this site. One thing is, as you all know, is being able to see PMs in the chatroom. Let me just talk about what I am absolutely tired of...
First thing. Seriously kids, did your parents ever warn you about Stranger Danger? When I was a child, we didn't have the internet. We had to be afraid of people on the street. People who we didn't know... People we were told not to talk to. Yet as soon as the internet blossomed, those people no longer needed to prowl on the street. All they need now is a computer. Have none of you watched "To Catch a Predator" on TV? Do you REALLY think that Online Predators don't search for sites just like this one in order to find children? Yet I see you all giving out your locations. Your phone numbers. Your Facebooks and so on. A predator only needs to pretend to be your age... And you fall for it. I see people come into the rooms looking for a boyfriend.. Or girlfriend.. In bad grammar to match your own. And you believe it. Really? Are you that oblivious to privacy? Can you not see that pedophiles can blend in with you guys in order to gain your trust? I am so fearful for your safety, as someone should. I am just asking.. For those of you who choose to do this.. Be careful. Keep your personal information just that.. Personal. This is not a dating site, and at 11 years old up to 14 years old, school should be your focus. Not some person you met on a DSi website. Who you will probably NEVER ever meet.. Please, be careful. /endthisrant
On to topic number two. Sexual perversion and innuendos in the chatrooms. Come on. This site is meant to be a place for people to converse about games, home life and to gain friends. Not to walk into a room filled with perverts saying things that you would hear on the raunchiest movies. Have you no home training? If your parents saw half of the things you guys post in the chats I am sure there would be punishments issued. If my son said half of what you guys say, he would be grounded. I would never allow my son on this site as long as perverts, like the ones I ban, are on here. DO YOU EVER LOOK AT THE BANLIST?! Cybering... Sexual jokes... Perverts... ALL CHILDREN!!! Sometimes I swear, children.. Yes CHILDREN... talking about pornos, sexual acts, and more explicit topics not meant to even be knowledgable to you. What you learn around your friends or on the internet should not be repeated here. I am more than certain that is NOT why Hull made this site. Behavior such as that, is not welcomed and will not be tolerated. From now on, any sexual innuendos or perversion I see.. I will instaban. Keep your smut at home and OFF this site.
Well that is all I wish to rant on at this time. I care for this site... And many of you. This is like a second home and I really hope you guys begin to see that it is a priviledge to be here. Any idiotic comments left on this blog will be deleted. Please, act maturely.
But anyways I agree with you,giving out personal info,talking about perverted topics and online dating should not be aloud on this site for the sake of people's safety. Also it would be a bad influence on other people.
I agree with you. I hope this doesn't sound idiotic or anything but I think school should be in focus for people under 11 and people 15-18 too. xD Basically school should be in focus for anyone who is still in school. Although,in my point of view,cybering/online dating can be dangerous for any age.
and he has no common sense... and also that he, because of no common sense, is about...I forgot to mention that he's addicted to the computer and plays whatever he wants on it. I wasn't allowed to do that till i was liike 9 and he goes on youtube and i wasn't allowed on youtube till i was 11. Little kids now days and there retarted knolage that comes with no common sence.
Common sense is not common nowdays. My 8 year old brother doesn't even know what it is and he does not have much eather. Point being, parents need to raise there kids better. They don't raise my brother like they did me. They don't drill StrangerDanger stuff or anything in his head eather. My brother is not very tough and goes crying to my mom or yells louder than a mini explosion for stuff as small as getting hit with a nerf dart. He ALWAYS disobeys my mom and he always wines and crys for stuff as little as his eye itching. He also accts like a 5 year old and he thinks "ess eeh ex" is what dryhumping is. I didn't even have a clue what sex was till I was in 3rd grade. The summer after 3rd grade I had the talk but my 8 year old brother has thought it was what dryhumping is for like a year or 2 now. Point is my brother's retarted and he's not raised very good.
I am not saying my popularity has ANYTHING to do with this blog. It is being read and liked because people agree with what I have to say. And nobody else has to do anything about it. I am. And Nicki and Zoey will too... Per their comments below.
This IS my opinion yes, and it was something that needed to be brought to the attention of everyone. And I feel as though it is doing some good considering the comments.
I 100% agree with HullBreach. What would Bill Cosby do?
Anyway, I've been seeing a lot of this going on latly. Also, a lot of you guys are getting away with the pervy jokes pretty easily. So now, I'm gonna be a little more strict on this. And, if I see y'all giving out personal information, I will warn you (: But only because I care ;D
Well, I think this new generation is called 'The Sex Age' because all kids (11+) are talking about sex and have NO idea what it really means. -_- And I have to blame the parents too because they should of blocked all porno sites so none of their children can see stuff like that on the internet.
And you're right, Jen, kids at a young age shouldn't be looking for a girlfriend/boyfriend on a website... School and getting an education is FAR MORE important than worrying about that. And they should, not only have street smarts, they should have internet smarts because, as you said, predators ARE EVERYWHERE. That's why we can't really trust anyone nowadays.
And one more thing... That host on "To Catch A Predator", got caught cheating on his wife as I heard. o-o Jus' puttin' that out there, lol. xD
In my opinion people below the age of 15/16 shouldn't even have a phone. Unless they can pay for it with their money. I'm almost 16 and i've never had a cell phone and I'm fine. People dealt without them before, so I can continue to do what they did. Besides, I don't want to be one of those cell phone zombies that can't stop texting for 5 seconds, even during class.
But those kids on here could be giving away their home phone number too.. I was in a chat once and there were two people who were talking who said they lived in the same country and they gave away their address and phone number.. I was like.. uh you shouldn't do that. Some people will never learn. Geez, when I was their age I never went on the internet. The only internet-related thing I'd do was MSN. And I might have used it for projects, can't remember. Other than that I only played games on the computer :p pacman, pong, this old game with a cat and you're a mouse whatever that game was.. an ancient lion king computer game.. harry potter atPS. Definitely not on chatroom sites. Hell, even if my mom knew I was on a chat site at my age she'd be kinda worried about it. But I'm not stupid enough to tell people where I live (other than country/sometimes province). And I couldn't give away my phone number, even if I wanted to because I don't know it xD /endlongcomment
I agree with the instaban thing. Perversion/innuendos, & EVEN giving personal info should be insta-bannable. Thank you Jenn for this blog. FINALLY someone is cracking down on things.
Wow. Spot on. I agree totally. Almost every time I see these members come into a chatroom and say "I need a boyfriend/girlfreind. And I think most of those members are pedos. I also see alot of young kid putting there phone numbers out there. Its like this site is called dsipaint dosent that tell you its not a dating site. Grrrr. This topic makes me ranty. Lolz +1. A+ job Crym.
agreed , especialy with pedos, thats a problem. This one time I was on omegle n this guy was like hi n i was like m12 and he was like 12? I like that age, Im a 10 year old girl, im just realy mature and then I said no offense if your not but you sound like a pedo then he said you m*firetrucker*r your only 12 who you callin' pedo! then he rage quit. it scared me away from omegle for like forever. I will never mess with that site again.
