We freely volunteer out of our working hours, putting our best efforts into helping to tackle in the ongoing global fight against child predators.

It's therefore quite sad to see that some members continue to spread 100% false claims, such as these:



As mentioned before, such false, and negative statements, only serve to drive more "unwanted" types of users to our platform,
while scaring away potential "good users" who can add positively to our community.

It is beneficial to our community, when more users review about the positive aspects of our platform as well.

Admins alone, cannot create a positive image of our community.
(We know that everything isn't "Perfect" here, but we do try our best).


[quote]"This website should be reported for being a safe haven for pedos."[/quote]

"SimilarWorlds should be Reported" ... yet we are daily working hand-in hand with all major Child Protection Agencies and Law Enforcement, in combatting child predators and child abuse.
🤷 😐


We don't know if some people see the claim "supporting pedos" as a "joke"...
something to casually throw around when wanting to wrongly accuse others.

Nevertheless, all false claims purporting that our staff and/or platform is engaging in illegal activities will continue to be logged, and eventually dealt with.

In the same way, predators cannot "safely say or share illegal things", without eventually being persecuted by the law. (even using VPNs, throwaway emails, etc...)

"Reviewers" making illegal claims, even on "other platforms", should not feel that they are beyond the law, either.

So then how come SW has a lot of hidden groups and members that posts extremely heinous things, hmmm? You and Nunes have restricted me time after time for me going after such perverts and trolls, ever since my early days as NativeOregonian on EP, in fact I have been told that my old SW NativeOregonian account is hidden, effectively shadowbanned, from pretty much everyone else. I deeply cherish my Friends on SW, I was on EP way before facebook and twitter, it's where I feel most at Home, and I feel that it's my duty to help protect them from those who wish to prey on them. I know you do not like my methods, but it's who I am, someone that never backs down from a fight, call it a trait from being abused as a child.
@NativePortlander1970 As someone who has also been abused as a child... I'm not sure how going keyboard warrior on pedos is going to do much other than making you feel better???

I do understand why admin don't want the whole site going keyboard warrior, though - dogpiling on pedos won't stop them from hurting children... and there's likely nothing you can say to get them to see the error of their ways.

It's much better to gather evidence of their crimes and turn them over to law enforcement.
@HootyTheNightOwl To assume I do not do that is quite ignorant on your part, I will still verbally go after them non the less.

[quote=@NativePortlander]So then how come SW has a lot of hidden groups[/quote]

What Hidden Groups are you referring to?
Group Consolidation is still a long, ongoing process (of manually re-categorizing and merging hundreds of thousands of groups).
There are many groups that are still "Inactive", until consolidated, but we've tackled most of the larger groups so far.

There have been numerous "Inappropriate Groups" that were Banned from usage.


[quote=@NativePortlander]and members that posts extremely heinous things, hmmm?[/quote]

We can't control everything people choose to post online.
We tackle what is inappropriate, as soon as we are able to.

I'm not sure what you are referring to in the rest of your message.
However, there is a "Correct Way" in going about reporting illegal or suspicious activity, on any platform.

Even Law Enforcement constantly reminds us to: [b]Not make any actions towards a suspected account, which could "Tip them off".[/b]

Something tells me that you were going about it the wrong way.
@Andrew I have recent screenshots of groups that are apparently still active and not hidden, but since I am currently under restriction I cannot show you them as restriction doesn't allow me to show you until next week on the 31st. I do not tip them off, I merely insult them and let them know what I think of them.
