Staff answer about taken in signatures *Photo* Updated 3/20

[mking624]

I was reading the newsletter and on the side it said taken and same type of rooms is not allowed. So it is not hidden it is there of the right hand side of the newslettter page.

This is what it says (taken from newsletter's "Community Reminder"):

3/13 – Remember, it's against the VMK Values to create or open ANY type of 'relationship' room (rooms that include words like 'meet,' 'pick,' 'get,' 'find,' 'have,' 'taken,' etc.) in VMK. You'll be warned and possibly banned for opening any type of room that promotes this activity.

For more information or a reminder of what's acceptable in VMK refer to the VMK Values page.

The above Community Reminder is in correlation with the VMK Value's "You Must Not" section

4. Create or open any type of 'relationship' room. (This includes, but is not limited to, rooms that include words like 'meet,' 'pick,' 'get,' 'find,' 'have,' 'taken,' etc. in the title).

There is nothing specific that says the whole "taken" thing in general is against VMK Values or that "taken" is not allowed in signatures. It only addresses guest rooms related to this. While I am sure that the taken "game" is on its way to being disallowed (which is perfectly fine by me), for right now, the only thing VMK is being specific about are the rooms and nothing else.

HaHa.
I hate it when guys come up to me and they say Omg your hat will you be mine?
It is really annoying and there are kids on here that are like probably 8.
What if they get taken to like a 40 year old?
But, the bad thing will be that they will ban the words take on..
Arg..

What really makes me sick is that there is 9 year olds being taken with 30 year olds....

Is this harrasment?? b/c they know there is kids on here

Uhhhhhh......

Whos to say there are 9 yr. olds being taken with 30 yr. olds? Im sure about the children that their parents play, and I bet that the parents arent going to let their child be "taken".

I asked Staff yesterday after this one boy player had taken in his signature, I suggested he take it out before Staff found out and to my surprise he replied "Sorry valeriesunshine but my signature is up to the VMK values and there is nothing in it the brakes the values" He was so proper. I cotinued to tel him it is against Staff but he left after a few minutes. When I saw Nimue in Pirates Lobby I think, I asked if this was still allowed and they said " No not at this time."
