Discussion Safety First

[erebus]

As a parent of gamer children, they already have twigged that certain sites won't let them in without them lying about their age. My thought is that the owner of an online space/service sets the rules of that space. You agree to follow those rules when you sign up. This protects the people running the space.

As a fellow gamer (and community parent / camp mum), I'm more likely to keep an underage player in Fellowship, than kick/report them. This is because I know that other places online they are likely to be far less safe. I'm prepared to be patient and supportive, and hopefully protect other adult players from younguns too ; ) . I guess I choose an ethically Functionalist stance there (aiming for the best perceived outcome).

Not that I have encountered children on Elvenar; maybe the pace is a bit slow for them, and there's not enough action.

In a fruit bowl when you find a Sour Grape or a Cracked Nut they can be thrown away, The red exclamation(!) mark on the profile in Elvenar that lets you mute/block works just as well and the player is quickly forgotten about(verified). Worth remembering next time Shae-leigh if ever another one rolls into view

Yes should exists also a block/report function for push accounts and all the cheaters around Elvenar, ain´t it? Cause no matter how much you send a ticket to support those exactly same cheaters with push accounts remain around.

We already have a way to deal with these players and that is via Support.
However if a player is not breaking our rules or has their account/s restricted or even banned, that is ultimately a decision to be made by us at InnoGames.

Hmmm, I have never seen this. I would love to know where it exactly is and if it can be used on a fellow. This would save me a ton of grief - if anyone can help. I find no red exclaimation marks anywhere.

So, the red exclamation point can be found:
in game, on the browser version, within a message thread, below the profile pic of another player, bottom right corner.

On the mobile version, there is not a red exclamation point, but there is the same functionality presented a a big red "report" selection after you click on the portrait itself.
