Act on stopping the verbal abuse on TT
by Stan · in ThinkTanks · 12/28/2003 (11:49 am) · 17 replies
I think you're all missing the point. No one wants to evict a player for his style of play or for just saying "sh*t" or "fu*k" once in a while.
Do I really have to post the messages my daughter and I have gotten for every one to understand the seriousness of this matter. ( decency forbids me from doing so unfortunately)
STOP THE BABBLING AND ACT !
- Can you start by recording all chat convesation allowing possible transcript reviews.
- Put up a warning at launching mentioning that all chat is recorded.
- Find a way to suspend or cancel registration when the abuse is flagrant and totally out of line.
- Allow for the possibility of further legal action if necessary.

you all might say why are young children playing tt? so far as im aware of there is no age limit to stop them from playing. you might also say why dont their parents use the child safety filter? ill ask you this why should they have to use them.the game is designed for in game chat not verbal abuse.
what i am asking from all tt members is to send an email to
havefun@garagegames.com
asking them to sort this problem out within the game by designing a suitable in game lock to stop any foul language being used. at the moment garagegames and thinktank are aware of this problem but it is not their number 1 priority. which from what i have seen it should be their number 1 priority.
one suggestion that has been made is to take a screen shot and email it to them ,so they can see for themselves who the offenders are.
so please help to put a stop to this abuse, then we can all get back to playing an enjoyable game of thinktank without any abuse.
so please email your suggestions or screenshots to

as we are all aware children do play tt
you also say to ignore the chat but this is easier said than done. these obscene words still come up on the screen for children to read as a friend has experienced himself . his 7 year old was playing tt with him monitoring what they were doing when a tt member who will be namless for now, who knew how old this child is made suggestions to this child about ANAL SEX so his child asked him what ANAL SEX was which put him into an awkward situation so therfore he has done what you have suggested by monitoring his child which proves that you can not expect a child to ignore what has been put on the screen especially when they see their name mentioned.
i ask you all if you see this happening to take a screen shot and email it to garagegames at
havefun@garagegames.com
so they can see it for themselves
please keep posting on here your suggestions and also email them to the above address
lets hope we can stamp this problem out once and for all .

Hi all , thank you all for your responses to this situation . as several of you have made comments about children playing tt and their parents not monitoring there activities online as a parent myself it is impossible to watch what they are doing 24/7 so therfore you cant lay the blame on the parents. the blame is to be put on the offenders as we are all aware children do play tt
