I Want to Feel Safe

It bothers me when I found out that a user is a minor. I don't understand why they lie about their age and what they get out of it my guess is that they want to talk to adults I don't know if SW prohibited minors from contacting adults but I know SW prohibited adults from interacting with minors.

Yes, I know I can't stop all minors from making account lying about their age but it won't stop me from reporting them when I find one. I just found out this user is underage I already reported him and hope his account get's removed I know some people will comment that they are harmless or "live and let live" but I remember the days on EP minors got other adults in trouble or just wanted to cyber sex with 40 something-year-old men. I really don't care if their posts are harmless want they talk about they can talk about it with other minors.

Edit: They want to get pissed off and put some kind of warning message that they are underage for perverts but that wouldn't be happening if they didn't deceive others.

Unfortunately there's no real control in place to stop a minor from doing it...us adults need to keep the guard up. Be careful about the conversations until you feel you can comfortably verify they are who they say they are. Even then it's still a risk.

@SW-User Not really. It includes it, but more as a sidenote.

@Tatsumi Pedophilia is why the site automatically blocks minor age profiles from adults. It's the whole core of the issue.

Curious that you'd think it to be nothing more than a sidenote. Be careful out there.

@SW-User That's a reaching assumption.

Like I said. I don't solicit or accept solicitations, online. No matter who it is, for the very reason that you never know who anyone is, online. So, you should probably increase your caution, more than I.

I think you are right.
