MOD for Younger Players???

With school getting out am seeing a lot of younger players joining up (elementary, middle and high school). Am also seeing a lot of aggressive older players who enjoy chat fights and razzing. The younger players see the aggressive chat play and join in only to have the attention shift to them. Very quickly they are in over their heads. They've not got the skill/experience to know it is not personal. To them it becomes very personal and emotionally hurtful. Is there 1 mod or 1 place they can go to for an immediate response when issues come up??? Does tso have a policy on how to handle this that non mod can point to as guidepost ??? I'm not saying lets find a way to punish the aggressive players. (We *need* them!!!) I'm saying we've got an influx of sensitvity that needs a safe harbor when it gets too rough. (We *need* the sensitive players, too!!!)

There is not in fact a Mod in Global-1 or any other channel.

I have place a request Forum pst here about the issue, you can also vote there:

There are BB's (almost the same as a mod) that often come and monitor, but, they do not work on the weekends, which are mostly the worst days language wise.

The Best thing for you to do for your child (or inform others) is to click on the "News" channel. You will only see what's happening in your own Island, and will not be interrupted by anyone else.

It was my understanding that you had to be 18+ to have an account?

Is there an age limit?

I think the age limit is like 13 or 14+

Most recently the chat I have seen there has been about Bacon, politics, and religion. I do see bad jokes every now and then but it does not ever own the chat. Plus if you are offended by what is on there, just ignore the user who says it and very quickly, you will not see anything that you consider offensive. Be proactive and take matters into your own hands.

The age requirement to create an account is 13yrs old and up per the BB/Ubisoft Terms of Agreement. if you are found out to be younger than that your account will be locked/banned by BB.

People need to relax this chat is far more tame than many many manyyyyy other places online.

Agreed ^^ I feel for the most part global-1 is quite tame, yes it does get outta hand at times, but honestly as AK stated it could be far, far worse. The mods do a decent job of keeping people in line and doling out the banhammer when needed.

You must be 13 or older to create an account but i have seen many kids admitting to being 12 or even 9 or 10

I am just getting tired of constantly getting a chat ban and not knowing what I said was considered bad. Cause some words are not bad that are still censored like cave and poof, yet they will still get you banned. The political correctness in this world is overwhelming, and people need to get over their petty beliefs of what is right and wrong. Especially in a free browser game.

BB_Susurrously, our Customer Service Lead, recently spoke to this in the thread linked by The_Director. The BBs are paid employees of Ubisoft and while the GMs try their best to monitor Global-1 in both Ares and Zeus, there is not always someone available to immediately handle a chat violation. There are several options in place, such as going to a different channel, using the /ignore feature, and reporting the issue so it can be investigated.

1. Report violations with avatar names and times of infractions through a support ticket.
2. Use the /ignore feature in the game chat
3. Join a different global channel
4. Ask community members, nicely, to take their chat somewhere private and don't engage.

I agree

I find it sad, sad, sad that my question is geared towards making sure the younger players aren't getting attacked or have a way/place to process/deal with the attacks they are receiving and the answers back are to just ignore it. As if the younger players deserve to be attacked for playing this game.

Note most of the people complaining are Ares. I am curious about this.

Incorrect. the issue is in all servers. But still so what? who cares if it is in one server? FIX IT!

Eventually children need to learn to walk away. If they can't do that then they will get themselves upset. I don't understand why you feel it is necessary to protect them from themselves. If they want to play with the big dogs they might get barked at. I personally stay away from global-1 because most people in there make my blood boil. Joining an active, friendly guild is a good way for them to still talk to people without the flaming comments.
