Cencored banners?

[apollo13nut]

Does anyone else notice that sometimes what they type in the description box shows up as "I Love AChat" to the rest of the users? (I had a friend point out that mine says that when what I typed is "Cold invites and A$ requests ignored"

If you don't notice, ok, fine....If you do, does anyone else think this is ridiculous?

[bobbler]

i was wondering why so many banners said that but i had no idea why

[apollo13nut]

So does this mean i'm not allowed to re-enforce that i'm HETERO (get WAY too many guys sending cold invites), or warn that I WILL NOT pay A$ (or real for that matter) for ANYTHING, or that i hate cold invites?

Why the reason for the censorship? Is this more proof that the dev team is just that damn lazy and doesn't give a damn?

[Janine Dee]

Can we see it ourselves when we are moderated? Or do we see the message we typed?

[Unhealer]

they might be censoring "A$" which might be a move to make prostitution difficult

[Bear]

odd seeing that,...and have noted a number of banners bearing the message, thought it first some secret society as it grew. I would be mad to find my banner modified. Paying for a service not to advertise for them.

I've seen the banners too. And, like Bear, I assumed some society or guy paying big bucks to have girls (usually don't go through the list of available guys) post this message. I never thought they'd moderate a banner. And as for prostitution: they instigated the possiblity themselves by making gifting possible.

Hey, while I have my own issues against the development team if they did this to take some sort of action against the hookers I'll give them some credit.

[TightFit74]

@Janine: in my view another case of good guys suffering from bad guys that can't behave. Started by the development team themselves. They created the gifting system, all the good intentions taken into account...

We should test two things:
1.) Do we see it when they ban our description? Usually we should see it when we look at our avatar (not in the editor).
2.) Is it just if we use the term "A$"? Is this  the change-description-to-standard term?

In my opinion it's the wrong decision. I don't like ANY bans of my description. Never! And it doesn't  change anything. Let me explain:
If I read a girl wants a gift, I know I don't talk to her. Now I have to find out during our talk (of course the whores will give us a hint).

Ban users, who offend against terms of condition. Ban users who offend the law (children sex...). Ban users, who just use AChat for their own business. But never ban my description.

I can see the description I typed (as I meant to have it viewed) just fine. To test it, I even logged in from 2 different computers. After my friend alerted me, I made a free account and logged into it on one computer and my regular account on another. As myself, I could see it. As the free user, it came up as "I Love AChat"

So based on this, the only way to know if your banner/description was moderated is to have someone tell you.

I agree that this is BS. I paid $30USD back in March for a 1 year member ship; if this is the crap they pull, I will be switching to other game come next March.

[Janine Dee]

Shit, thank you Niki. Let's all make a gentle persons agreement here. We check on each other, we see the "I love AChat crap." we let them know.

[TightFit74]

It is indeed the use of A$ in the banner that gets them moderated. I changed my banner, added A$ and it is visible as "I love AChat". Again, the lack of communications is painful. Without as much as a word they change policies, doing something that intrudes on our customer rights. And I don't want to advertise AChat, i want to put me in the picture... Why didn't they say anythig about this?

[Lover]

Thanks Nikki. Janine, I agree partially.
I don't believe anyone of us  (people in this forum) will have this description. Although we don't know if there are more moderated terms. And it's easy to find out if members with this description wanna get paid or if they wanna say "I never pay". We just have to talk to them.

But at all it's not correct that we don't see our own description. Even if it's a try to prevent "rule of sluts"

[Lover]

They didn't say anything because the whores may not know about this change

I understand them in this try. But in my opinion it's the wrong way.
