Man arrested for soliciting minor on IMVU

[WingedZephyr]

It's possible. I never really noticed  

[ephemral]

I wonder if this is why the 'search people' no longer lets you search by state.

I noticed that.

I also noticed they made a retarded change to the male restricted catalog.
Sure they let all the female anatomy restricted content stay up, but it's some how different when it's male......
IMVU and their dumb content rateing. When are they ever going to make their minds up?

When they do get some minds. Which could be... once in a blue moon?

That I do, but nobody could ever catch them all that way anyway

Well, anybody can if they have the right tools,  just by using the IP Address to locate the person. IMVU uses the same thing to block people from making multiple accounts with the same IP Address to get more credits.

But I'm not saying just keeping them from making new accounts. I meant that IMVU can't keep track of who does or does not blatantly offer certain... erhm... "services" by saying so in their tag line. That doesn't really have to do with making multiple accounts... or am I confused?

IMVU doesn't need to keep track.
Users' can flag pages for abuse.
Be careful though if you flag some one's page and they didn't do anything that's a TOS violation right there.
They let you know that before you flag some one.
They must have a lot to handle though. I flagged nearly some one's entire catalog for art theft and I don't think anything has been done yet.

Which brings us back to the point of them needing to keep track some other way, because it obviously isn't working the way it is.

I've emailed them once asking for moderators who go through homepages and removing offending content. They have that sorta system on Myspace to stop porno being posted. I think it would be a good idea.

*thumbs up* Sounds good to me. I just think IMVU tries to do too much at once so nothing useful like that ever gets done  :umm:

Very true.

[PurestSeraphim]

 :umm:The thing is that no matter what precautions you take, there is always some perv in the woodpile waiting and watching for some stupid little moron to mess things up for the rest of the people using. It's the same on any chat site, like pal talk, eyeball chat, heck even neopets! As long as there are stupid ppl, there's always going to be something to mess a good thing. Heck, my second chat, I had some stupid little freak ask me what size ROOSTER (figure it  out) I would like...oi...the humanity :shcoked:...why are stupid ppl not drowned at birth?

[dragnmastralex]

cause then we'd have no one to laugh at and no one to send to check for landmines!

[KajiKitsune]

Well, look at it as a balance.

[WingedZephyr]

It's like good and evil. If you don't have evil, you have nothing to compare to to call things "good." If we don't have stupid people, we wouldn't have non-stupid people.

Besides, most people turn stupid much after birth, and by that time they know how to swim

I agree IMVU isn't being overly smart about the whole thing. They have one guy caught by the police trying to chat up underage girls and IMVU runs around like Chicken Little yelling about how the sky is falling. Do the IMVU admins seriously think it's not going to happen again? How many guys have been nabbed by the cops on AIM, Yahoo! or MSN for doing the same thing? Regardless of how much protection IMVU puts in place it can and will happen again. Guaranteed.

So every time it happens in the future I guess we can expect the same knee-jerk response from IMVU.

[WovenSky]

Wow when I read that I gotta pretty scared, Can you take off the age and state info? Although i'm pretty smart around the internet and barly even chat on imvu I just want to be safe
