is taken really something to whine about?

[mking624]

I would just like to say that you never actually know who you're talking to, whether it's VMK, DIS, or anywhere. People can say they are ANYBODY and they might very well be lying. They can say they are any age, and they might be lying. Just because you can see info about other people doesn't mean it's true at all. You can have no idea of who you're talking to on the internet, unless you have met them in real life.

You're right, people can lie...I never said they couldn't (for that matter then, I suppose I should believe that everything you say is a lie then ). But we don't have to dictionary dance here and you can get a pretty good idea of ages simply by the way people post on here (the way your structure words/sentences/etc can give a lot away about the age...you'd be surprised. That's not to say people can't go around that and "learn" new ways, but the tendency is that you will say things according to your age). You have a better opportunity to get to know someone in a method that allows for more conversation and that allows for the revealing of personal info than you do where your words are limited...

I guess I just see a lack of consistency when people say it's not good to do in real life, but it's ok as long as you're a computer graphic. They both involve real people.

Again, I'm not trying to say "do as I do or say"...but I just think there needs to be consistency.

Unfortunately arguing about this won't change what can and does happen. Otherwise we wouldn't have FBI pretending to be children just to arrest people. I know it sounds extreme, but I'd rather make sure things are very safe then wish later that it was. Maybe you don't agree, but I'm sticking with what I feel is right and safe.

Happy playing!

All that taken does is stimulate the hormones of older players and it also does nothing but hurt players mentally, physically and even socially. I agree with demon taken is absolutely wrong i am only a teen 15 to be exact and I absolutely agree with the "no taken" policy. Online relationships whether in chatrooms or with characters in games do nothing but hurt people.

Well the taken thing is dangerous,but still u have to think about other ppl and how irl they mite not have a boy friend or gurl friend.It is still not right and a little sickening to hear some of these things that ppl do on vmk.I think of the taken thing as some ppls fantasys,but for others it is like the real deal the IM thing is very dangerous!! But i still did it ( I may sound dumb but i can tell the real from the fake.) So its everyone's opinion,no one is right no one is wrong u think no i think yes and maybe.Dont judge ppl just bc they do the taken thing.

So if someone asks me i'll say "Yes, by a fish"

I find it very funny that people do this. Would you ever do this in real life, go up to someone and ask any of these questions? NO you would not, so why do it in vmk?
