Xenthic · 02-13-2013

This video, what do you think? Is graal safe enough? If this is actually happening As We Speak, something needs to be done.

Isn't this why we have the report system? and shouldn't the parents be looking at what their kid is doing. This is like blaming Soda for giving kids bad teeth or diabetes, yes it can do it but it isn't the soda company well most it since we aren't being forced to drink it.
Didn't we add a guild system for guild pics to make sure nudity and personally pictures.
We even warn players for kik names. I still dont know if that is in play since Julius was the one that sent broadcast message about it.

people older than an adult? Makes alot of sense...
Also i doubt anyone younger than 8 owns a Facebook or kik.
Also the app says 8+ not 8-14 or etc.
even though there are some pervs in the game admins do everything they can to enforce the rules. And.... asking for kik and skype isnt a bad thing unless they have bad intentions behide it.

This is what creeps me out about graal. Also why i dont talk to noobs or dumbasses on classic. Also why im quite antisocial, besides my community. What they dont understand is some of them are trolls, which is honestly stupid and dumb. Also most of the people depicted are ones its best to ignore or block, like i do.Graal is centered around social interaction in my opinion, and its the same as every other kids game. There will never be no ********s or no hazard of saftey from playing, so in a sense its a hopeless fight. Does that mean we should still try? No, we should. For all we know some of the staff could be creeps themselves, theyre volunteers, arent they? Is all centered around how you play and who you associate yourself with. You can never 100% trust those you play with, even if its duke or mayu or any seasoned player, its possible theyre faking it too. My point: if you wanna be safe in graal, talk about the game, not real life. Thats my opinion on the matter.

Its getting normal that every kid younger than 10 can do online everything...the parents have to look at the kids and if there are perverts they can do everything but not this you know what i mean.

I've got to admit, I did laugh at 7 minutes in. However they do have a point, it is not okay. I just don't know how the staff can enforce this more than they already do. We cannot expect a team of 20~ people to constantly monitor everyone's private messages and most reports of things like this are dealt with already.

BboyEatsbacon · 02-13-2013

srsly tho, if you can't take that there are people like this on the internet, you don't belong there. As stated before, there is a report button for a reason.

On the bright side, lulz and free publicity!

I lost it and stopped the video at 7:13.

However, if any of those *********s frequent these forums, be advised that there is a current epidemic on Graal where an alarming percentage of alleged females are actually male.

I sadly can't watch the video right now because my internet is self-imploding, but I'm gonna assume the gist of the video talks about how dangerous it is for young kids to play Graal because of this and that.

The internet is not exactly a child-friendly environment. This doesn't only apply to just games, but the internet itself. From playing on Xbox live, to browsing forums... the first thing the parent should evaluate is their attention to their childs habits online. Graal is not some rare game on happens to harbor *********s without penalty. It's a game that can not possibly 100% censor and moderate what happens, it's a social game, and therefor there are risks involved.

Parents should seriously talk to their kids about this stuff. I'm 26, and I'm still fairly reluctant to release my personal name, for instance. Parents should teach their kids about keeping their information personal and separate from the internet at much as possible. Use aliases, and possibly if you don't want to attract attention... don't create female avatars. I'm not condoning the way females are treated online, but if you want to make it easier on yourself you'd probably avoid a lot of drama and weirdness by just creating male avatars.

So TL

R? This is not a unique problem with Graal, but it's something that happens on the internet as a whole. If you want to play the interwebs, be it Graal, Reddit or the like... be aware that this **** is going to happen on every corner of the web. Except 4chan. We all know 4chan is a safe haven from this sort of thing.
