I believe the persuasion of children, sometimes to produce a negative effect
on someone else happens in the AW universe.

I don't know how it happens, or how to stop it, just know it is wrong.

Jun 9, 2003, 9:38pm

I agree, oh the lady this must stop now. I can tell you how we can do it,
we must all quit aw. Yes, you heard me, we all need to cancel our
accounts and leave right now. No logging in, no posting on the NG's, just
cold turkey. And to set the example, I know The Lady will lead the way.

Let's protect the children the lady... you go first the Lady, we'll uh.. go
right after you.

wrong?

I agree. Persuading children to do what? Surely anything a child can be
persuaded to do, an adult can also be persuaded - children aren't as naive
as people make out.

[View Quote] AMEN to that!!! Todays children are NOT the children of days past.... far
more cunning and minulipative. Its the parents responsibility to monitor
the children that enter the AW universe...

Agreed 100%. Most people who do something bad do it on their own accord, or
because of some mental illness. The 'persuasion of children, sometimes to
produce a negative effect' happens rarely, if it all.

If you want a more accurate statement about people being bad on AW, here it
is: quite often people are bad because they are depressed, and have to make
others feel bad to make them feel good about themselves. That has been
proven hundreds of time.

It's the responsibility of the community to combat negative manipulation
from other adults and children targeted at adults and children in the AW
Universe. : )

I thought that was why we had world ratings - and what exactly is your
point. I don't see a problem with what we have now.

Persuasion of children happen in any world, regardless of world rating. I
refer back to my initial post, which is my point: : )

I believe the persuasion of children, sometimes to produce a negative effect
on someone else happens in the AW universe.

I don't know how it happens, or how to stop it, just know it is wrong.

Look, you're talking crap. Please tell us what you want to say in *clear
text* or don't bother. Because you have a record here of having strange
opinions about harmless things, nobody will listen if you continue this fog
talking.

it is NOT our responibility.... Parents hold that job. You must be a rotten parent if this is your MO.
I don';t think you are....so you should think about what your saying before you post.

the lady, in real life, you are right, it is the responsibility of the
community to protect the children. It takes a village to raise a child. As
for the adults, well, sorry if they dont' have common sence :)

But, after raising 5 kids for 26 years, the last thing I want to do in the
internet is babysit. In my world, children are welcome. If I see anything
happening to hurt the children I will eject the person doing the hurting.
However I am not here 24/7. So, at the times I am not here it is up to the
parents to monitor their childrens activities. Even when it comes to the
worlds rated X, I believe that it is the responsibility of the parent to
monitor the childs activities. The Rateing is there, but the owner of the
world may not be there at all times. And children sometimes lie to the bot,
and will say they are 18 to gain access.

I think the only thing anyone in the community can do is nip the situation
in the bud as it arises. I really don't think starting a crusade on the
subject is going to help. Unless you know a way to round up all the children
in all the worlds and shove them all into a single child friendly world with
24 hour in world supervision? I dont' think so.

We all do what we can the lady. We don't need a crusade over it. When all is
said and done, it's the parent's responsibility to monitor thier children's
activities. I tought my children about bad things that can happen in the
net. I tought my children to have common sence. And when my children are in
the net, even in AW, there is a parent there to make sure they don't get
them selves in trouble. The Internet, even AW, is not a babysitter.

> It is the responsibility of the entire community to mentor,<

Although I do mentor some children in AW, it is not MY responsibility to
mentor ALL children in AW.

> watch out for<

I watch out for children that I know are close by, and in my world.

> discipline<

It is not my responsibility to disipline the children in AW. Although, I do
disipline a handful who I know make mistakes on accident.

> teach<>

I teach children how to become modelers and av makers if they are serious
about learning. I also warn them about trouble they may run into in AW. It
is the parents responsibility to teach them to become good people.

>raise a child.<

As I said before, I have already spent 26 years raiseing 5 children. I am
finished raiseing children. It is the PARENTS responsibility to raise thier
children.

I, and every one else in AW, do what I can when it comes to children. But, I
do not have rights outside my own world. There is only so much that we can
do. At some point the PARENTS need to be held accountable if thier children
get into trouble in AW, or anywhere else in the net.

persuasion of children to do what? you are simply saying the persuasion of

develop, so what are you talking about?

well, now it's more clear... you wish to cast any blame on a child's rearing
upon everyone. But, it's not everyone's responsibility. I sure as heck
wouldn't want Saddam Husein *spelling* to mentor my child. Or Hitler for
that matter....

To further illustrate AW's intentions on just who is responsible for minors
in their universe, version 3.4 allows parents to password protect their
children's browser rating, therefore allocating the proper responsibilities
to that child's parents, as it should be.
