Re: Let's fix Parental Control

Wait... Can't we send a penny through the mail via the card we send to also get the ultimate fan smiley? I mean, that would work, but then again I heard he DOESN'T ACCEPT CASH PAYMENTS, SCREW H3LL WTF.

Re: Let's fix Parental Control

Why is this system even in place anyways? If you goal is to shelter kids from such bad words like "hell" and "damn" then this is not going to do a damn thing. IT just makes it hard for people who can't pay online so readily, and for children whose parents just don't feel like paying a cent because they don't see it as something important.

Why not have chat free for everyone, and have it automatically censor words with *'s, and you can turn this off if you want (for older people who don't really care). If a kid wants to see those words he'll know what the words are already.

Lets be serious, these words are not physically or mentally affecting the kids in any way. That's why I think the whole chat limiting thing should just be removed.

First of all, i bet so. If you define every above average player as a player with chat. Second of all, there aren't just above average people in this game. WHAT ABOUT THE AVERAGE PEOPLE? Yea, I mean, was it 80% of the people? Actually, tell them to go to (insert word), because there are only 80/100 of them and obviously the 20/100 are the ones who matter. And if you define it as beta, people in beta probably give Chris less money than the ad revenue of people who aren't. Locking chat up doesn't lock up hurt feelings. You can get trolled and it hurts just as bad as mean words if not worse.

Re: Let's fix Parental Control

I think you guys keep missing the point of the whole chat system.
The reason a creditcard is required is because Chris wants the people with chat to be 18+ or to have permission from their parents.

So, go ask your parents to get chat for you. Being all angry about it only shows some of you shouldn't have chat because you would just flame everyone.

Re: Let's fix Parental Control

If you go above 1 week, its a month, then forever, I'd say.

I think 8 chances is too much though, if they break the rules 8 times, then they obviously have not learned their lesson.

yeah but thats the point! :rolleyes:
if they cant learn the lesson over the 8 times, just take away the chat until they pay for it again

I think you aren't getting the points. This thread was suggestions, alternatives to what Chris has implemented. None of us are angry about it (and if we are, we certainly aren't flaming), and I'll mention again that this thread is named Lets fix Parental Control. Nou not every adult uses paypal, and some kids' parents don't give a (insert word), and others parent's are suspicious. Not only that, but going through all that red tape for chat is not worth it. Name a mmo game that doesn't have chat, and if it doesn't, it probably is kid friendly. BUT:CHAT MAY NOT BE KID FRIENDLY, BUT THE GAME ISN'T EITHER. TROLLED WORLDS HURT FEELINGS MORE.

I agree, there are worse problems in this game than chat, like trolls.

Re: Let's fix Parental Control

Option 1: (may not work) a low frequency noise saying a word/letter, like those sound buttons on the captcha but with this noise instead.
Option 2: show the whole movie of paranormal activity or the excorscizim of emily rose JKS! (btw those movies are FREAKING scary, seriously.)
Option 3: (may not work) having the adults address, they email you with a picture of you and adult doing somthing 13+ like filling the car with fuel ETC. if we do a negative thing if you see the same picture twice, like remove max energy, etc. or make a bot to do the recognizing work for you.
Option 4: (again may not work, may give some of your ownership percentage )   Since you can't make a no swearing system that is perfect, ask some good programer like the ppl from blizzard to help you
Option 5: let them go to your house. XD

Yeah.. all of these questions wont work but thx for reading

Re: Let's fix Parental Control

I think the system is fine on how it is. Although, I have kinda tricked my parents into buying me chat xD
I'm pretty sure someday, there will be this huge online database where it will know who you are and it will know if you are "over 13" so you can get chat. But that's not going to happen in our lifetimes so right now we're stuck with chat for 1 cent.

My parents think that it's a scam though, so they won't pay.   I'm 16 years old for pete's sake.   :/

Re: Let's fix Parental Control

Yeah, when I wanted beta we went to the paypal and it was in some other language, didn't help the whole scam situation..

Then when I told her there was chat for $0.01 she said: They're just trying to get my credit card number!" But luckily she trusted paypal.

Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

Re: Let's fix Parental Control

I have an idea: Why don't you make us pay to play the game? That way it wouldn't be a scam, and people that paid an extra cent could get chat? That way Chris gets money, parents happy, and chat system still works. (I know that that was a comment that really sounded like trolling, but it's a parody that I just wanted to say to point stuff out.)

Re: Let's fix Parental Control

I'll post my alternatives.
Alternative 1. Automatically take a photo of the person and see if the person is under 18, with scanning the picture.
2. Tell the person to say a word and if it sounds like a child is saying it, don't allow chat.
3. [I hope you do this] The player says a very hard-to-spell word, and the person has to spell it out correctly for chat.

Atleast one of them will work.
P.S. Make the word on 3 different every time.

Re: Let's fix Parental Control

Do something like a test, like high-school grade questions, maybe an anatomical test on the reproductive organs, or some adult-themed test, that would have coded into it, to be able to sense if that person opened up a new window/tab to cheat at it.   It would work as an alternative to paying 1 cent.

EDIT: I just thought of a new idea, how about making chat free-for-all, but make it so that it is very strict on censoring, and can be updated when the need arises.   Then, you can pay 1 cent, to get the censor-free chat.   That-way, everyone can still comunicate, it will protect young kids from being exposed to things, and you can have a less strict chat, for those who prove that they are 18+, or their parents say so.   That way, everyone will be happy!

Re: Let's fix Parental Control

what if chat was free and just like alex you have warnings
and each time you swear you get points on your record if you have past 100 points
you lose chat for 1 week or more
if you have past 50 points you lose chat for 5 or more days
if you have 0-10 points you have free chat and is not banned
i can understand a sudden swear cause the chatter is agitated or being harrasted
but chat report button NO DEAL! there will be abunch of people saying someone sweared
cause there mad at them just have a mod check each chat message like example: #### [add points] [allow] if you press allow the message is in public if you press add points you pick a   scale of 1-100 points for the user but if you pay for chat (not free chat) you get banned for less amount of time and can only be given 1-50 points and   if you can add a chat smiley that looks like its chatting sorry for this being so long. press [+] if you agree press [-] if you dont agree

Re: Let's fix Parental Control

why don't you make it so we can fax you a permission slip or soemthing? A child that can forge a signature is most likely able to steal a credit card.
