Well, I'm relatively new here and I'm not sure of the general "tone" of these boards yet. I've written and erased this post about 3 times now, but I think some things need to be said here. So I may as well take this opportunity to stick my neck out and make myself unpopular.

I agree that the comments made to Azure are uncalled for and deserve to have action taken. I disagree with the name-calling rants directed at VMK staff. Regardless of how we feel about the rules, we agree to play by them when we sign up with VMK. When rules seem arbitrary or confusing, we should certainly point them out - after all, that's why the game is in a test version. But we can do that without name calling and accusations.

I also disagree with comments that Disney doesn't do enough to protect children on the site. All of the rules we complain about regarding vocabulary are part of the effort to keep kids from sharing phone numbers, addresses, etc. (And promoting ways to work around those rules, thus making them moot, was the reason the CL's lost their tags. Fair? Maybe not. All the same, I don't know of too many companies who will maintain employees - honorary or not - who promote ways to break their own rules.)

We don't really have all the information regarding this case to say that Disney isn't protecting children. First of all, how old is the person sending the offensive messages? There is a big difference in the danger level of inappropriate comments from an 11-year-old kid and a 35-year-old man. If people make a big stink about the safety of kids, Disney is going to make a decision that not too many of us are going to like: To start enforcing the 15-year-old maximum age limit for VMK which they promote. That would mean a great number of the people on these boards would be banned from VMK. It would also mean some of the coolest events and games created in the guest rooms would cease to exist, making the game a much less fun place for those left behind.

So please, let's cool our jets a bit. If we have complaints, post them in a constructive manner. As pointed out, VMK staff do read these boards and are far more likely to respond favorably to people who aren't calling them names.

OK, let the flaming commence.

No flame, just want to add this:

This was taken less than a week before the CL_ were banned for doing the exact same thing.

And during the pin trading event, more than one VMK_ staff was seen by me substituting on for one and to for two.

People here know what I think of the VMK rules, and the snafus that have plagued a lot of the development decisions. But still, I don't know. I've had the pleasure of chatting with a few of the VMK staff, and some are really nice people who work HARD and have to deal with a lot of difficult and whiny people.

Seems like they are understaffed, overworked, unappreciated, and have little, if any, say with the developers of the game, regarding events and other changes. And I think they are not the ones making the ridiculous and contradictory rules, and yet are expected to "enforce" them.

I have no idea what the organizational set-up is, but I would imagine something like Disney management -> VMK developers -> VMK staff, from top to bottom. And you know the saying, *** flows downhill. Maybe that's why VMK staff get the brunt of the abuse, although I don't think they are the ones who deserve it.

Seeing as they also read these and other boards, attacking them frivolously when they are just trying to make the best of a bad situation seems unhelpful and ungrateful.

Just my opinion, and I expect many to disagree.

whiole i respect your opinion, staff should really do more than a two hour ban for this crap.

and whoever said about the safety of children, i did not mean physically, i mean there innocence. i mean, what if a kid saw what he/she said and goes mommy, what does, you really turn me on baby mean? how is a parent supposed to answer that? and if i were a parent i would be very upset my child learned stuff like that from VMK.
