GGG Please Protect Children From Sexual Advances

[UNCLE STINKFISH]

Since the ban on Religious an Political topics in global chats - it has come to my attention that there has been a rise in sexually orientated topics.

I recommend GGG add "Sex" to the forbidden topics.


EXAMPLE:

Today I saw someone with "LTGB" in their guild name asking in Global 1: if a hetrosexual male "virgin" on a 1st date would still "consummate" a sexual encounter, if they found out that the girl had male genitalia..

Why would someone post this ?

1. Maybe to find a date (PoE is NOT an LTGB or any other orientation dating site..).
2. Maybe to illicit a hate-speech response so they could report someone (very disruptive)..
3. Maybe to fish for virgins (aka: children).

NONE of these are acceptable behaviours - and it is something that is almost constantly visible in Global 1 - GGG should do something to protect underage customers.

Me looks at pegi rating of POE, sees pegi 18, is confused with the word underage

So they expect children of 13 years to be playing....

Not their job to cater to parents who dont want to watch what their kids are doing. Same with the whole youtube thng going on. Parents want to enforce stuff so it's easy for them to not have to monitor and control (parental settings) what their kids do or watch.

Well...

GGG have already taken the stance they want to protect adult gamer's from the fallout of discussing politics and religion..

Why would their benevolent ethos be any less for underage children, against a much more harmful influence..

Because underage players aren't suppose to play the game anyways?

The question is why does GGG condone such harassment in their game chat at all, regardless of the age of the players? I'm not surprised that the fangirls on this board are okay with it. But a game company should know better than to be a haven for it.

How can someone harass you in an online game Oo You can mute anynone at anytime.

Also children shouldnt play this game.

Fixed it for you mate.

Guys... just for clarity - this is not about "adult innuendos" and being silly - it's about people actually asking in chat if other gamer's are of a particular sexual orientation, to identify themselves in global, if they want to have private conversations, and other more in-detail comments like the exchange of bodily fluids...

But GGG allow 13 year olds to play...

Virgins don't have to be young. I'm 37 and a virgin. I am going to end up like Sir Isaac Newton and I am fine with it.

That said, I honestly do hate the sheer absurdity of some of the conversations in Global.
But I tend to tune them out.

So you would tune out when adults improperly make graphic sexual advertisements to an audience that contains underage children...

Honestly, I've never personally seen that, Stinkfish.
But I use Global 3, and it's basically less insane than Global 1.

The stuff you'll find on Global 3 is much tamer and nicer than Global 1. I can't stand Global 1.

I love Global 1 - and it's vibrancy - many do, and some even consider it's entertainment value greater than the actual game..

But I will not tolerate what I have described in OP..

There is a global chat in this game !?
