It is, in fact, for the security of the players. It's not good to have real life images in a game like this. We all know about the "Rate gp, I'm 13, I need bf, my kik is blabla"-girls at start. The internet is a dangerous place for teenagers/kids like these.

I hope you understand what I'm trying to explain.

People who actually do that are pretty much asking for trouble...  

Does this mean pictures of famous people, such as musicians, sports players etc will also be rejected?

Easiest way around this would be just to have to tick a box saying your over 13 before you can upload the picture.

that would do absolutely nothing.

I believe so because (this is a weird examppe but the only legit reason in my mind) you don't know if it's the famous guy uploading a picture of himself. Means if yes, he would be allowed to upload reallife pictures, while other's are not.

I remember talking to Stefan on RC. He noted that there is some US law regarding minors posting images of themselves (under 13 I think) without parental consent. This makes sense actually because Facebook has the same procedure (I believe)

I'm calling bull**** on this made up "law"
Stefan doesn't know what he's talking about. He's French for christsake.


I can understand reason for blanket banning all irl pics.
Someone can easily upload a picture of someone else without their consent that doesn't want their picture uploaded. That's the only legit reason, that and n00dz of course.

I haven't read this but I believe this has the answer for you.

Yes. The amended Rule considers photos, videos, and audio recordings that contain a child’s image or voice to be personal information. This means that operators covered by COPPA must either (i) prescreen and delete from children’s submissions any photos, videos, or audio recordings of themselves or other children or (ii), first give parents notice and obtain their consent prior to permitting children to upload any photos, videos, or audio recordings of themselves or other children.

 

Lmao

So, this only applies to children, uploading pictures of of real life people would not be against the law anyways, for example sports players, musicians, famous people etc. All that would be needed was a checkmark saying you are 18+ or whatever it is lol...  

Secruity to players? So i cant put up a picture of my dog running around with my sisters cat on his back?

I blame classic and those stupid rate me guyz people for this whole uploading and approving crap since they were uploading porn or somewhat to porn and what not.
