Well then, my apologies, if my point was not made. What you perceived as "mocking" was intended to demonstrate how impossible it is, to determine if someone is or isn't an adult. (That may have been obscured by the reactionary insult that the moderators removed.)

If Disney were to have adult servers, they would need a fairly fool-proof way of determining someone's age. As of today, POTCO still has the age of the primary account holder on my primary account, as the fictional age entered when the account was first created. That is, not my age, nor the age of my children.

Simply saying that they could/would have everyone sign a waiver saying they are adults, is flawed. Since the POTCO staff assumes that everyone now is 13, any such signature would have the validity of a 13-year-old's signature: no legal validity at all.

MacIronhawk: I don't know if you were referring to my comment about zero-tolerance, but I had writtend "zero-tolerance in regards to personal information." Sorry if you misunderstood that as "zero tolerance for everything." I strongly agree that their profanity filters could be improved.

(wow last time i posted on my own thread was awhile ago...lol)

anywho....

i personaly don't see why Disney can't filter out the ages of its players. reason i'm saying this is this...there's a game on the net that's "adults only". um, NOT giving the name because when i say ANYTHING goes, i mean ANYTHING goes. (i found it by accident looking up MMORPG's on wiki-pedia...lol. there was a HUGE list!!) so being the nosey sort, i went and looked. and BLUSHED FURIOUSLY...lolz. MY POINT??? if they can filter out the ages of THEIR players...why can't Disney??? i mean they were really REALLY 18 and over only!!!!!

Making a link sounds like a good idea, but thing is, even on thier player's channel (that DXD thing) you can't give out personal info. if anything it's even more analretentive than the actual game. i know. i got banned trying to figure out how to send my email address to someone there too. messed up part was it wasn't even my real email address!!

what i wish they'd do if nothing else, is at least offer a way for those who are over 18 to be able to contact one another off game. maybe a messaging area, with a warning notice that before you post, you're responsible for yourself and what you post. like, "don't send info unless you realize you're doing it at your own risk....if-they-turn-out-to-be-some-psycho-it's-no-one's-fault-but-yours" kinda thing. but after you click on a box or whatever saying you understand that risk, THEN allow you to share your email address or something. if you've been forwarned then there's no way Disney can be held responsible, right??? i mean you have to check "i agree" or "i disagree" on stuff all the time, riiiiiight?? why can't they do the same thing in reguards to contacting someone?

it just stinks that there's cool people i've made friends with in the game that i'd love to talk to off the game but can't. i mean sure, i have friends from a certain social website (who's name i can't mention here either) that found me on some interest groups there that i play with on the game now, but any friends on the game? there's no way to let them know how to find me there.

ah well. what ya gonna do, eh?

Oh sorry I thought that's what you meant.
I do believe they have zero tolerance for personal information.
I think more people get banned from POTCO by asking for personal information than anything else.
Good thing I have experience from playing toontown so I wont get banned for things like that.

But back on topic:
Why would disney create an adult only server if the game was based for families?
How much disagreement would be caused if an adult server was made?
If it's family based and parents play on their children's account imagine how bad this adult server could be. The children MAY ask(but that's just from my experience and my opinion) to go on the adult server.
And you know what I think the answer would be? Yes. I've already seen parents let kids under the age of 13 watch Restricted movies.
I think an adult server would be ok to them too.
That's just what I see parents do. Maybe I live in a part of the country where this is common. This is just my experience so this isn't a fact that parents would let their children play on the adult server if there was one.

I don't think it's a good idea and if I were part of a family based company then this would be something that goes in one ear and out the other.
