I think a ‘Junior forum’ might be a good idea – any volunteers for moderator…BeeJay said:I've moved this topic to help and ideas in case it gets lost in Chit Chat. :thumbsup:
There would still have to be a strict minimum age of 13...Judy said:Only problem is will parents then complain if their kids wander onto other parts of the site and see something they dont't like? I can see a flood of complaints coming in
The only current method is to highlight an individual members name whilst in the chatroom and select ignore, this would prevent the person contacting the member privately.running_free said:For extra security for our children can the PM facility be made redundant??? Anyone know at all???

I have 3 grandaughters, some time ago whilst i was out my oh allowed them on the internet, i dont allow them unless im sat with em, i traced what they had been up to, NEVER AGAIN WILL THEY USE THE INTERNET FROM MY HOME, all children in my opinion should be supervised whilst using the internet~Helen~ said:I'm interested in this, because my two love coming on here.But I would be worried about security. The mere fact that there is a kid zone at all might make it attractive to the wrong sort of person. How would you know that someone wasn't pretending to be a kid just to befriend kids. There have been some very convincing trolls here on k9, after all.
I know the whole internet is a minefield on that score, but we'd have to have some kind of pinned "awareness" which gives kids tips on how to protect themselves. Actually, that might be a good way to raise their level of awareness in general.
I'll be interested to see how this develops :thumbsup:
That's the problem. I would willingly create a junior K9 forum for ages 13+ but I have great reservations and can just see my inbox filling with all sorts of complaints. However, that in itself is not a reason not to do it....~Helen~ said:I'm interested in this, because my two love coming on here.But I would be worried about security.
