That was very sweet of you to set up a Forum String for the Cadets on DFA... :saint2:

Your daughter, Groovy Chick, seems like a kewl kid, Old Fox. :dance:

It appears that some of that pink goo was destined for better things and didn't go to waste, eh? :singing:

P.S. Probably a good idea to block this Forum from her access... especially the Ladies' and Mens' Rooms! :shocked2: :Smile J-k:

not really ladyhawk if the child is old enough to play this violent gm then they should be old enough to be here also . yes dfa has a nice idea for thier member's kid's and other forum's kids . but again if your allowing your child to play df any version then they are old enough to handel whats on most of the df forum's out there . and if not then they shouldnt play df any version untill they are old enough . and LH please dont take it wrong im not flameing ya , this is just how i feel i mean on the df box it say's voilience ? lol :smilegrin: http://community.the-underdogs.org/smiley/happy/silly.gif

Just had to pull all the war games from my 9 year old's computer...seems he's becoming a little ruff with the other kids in school latly. Maybe we parent's should rethink what we're allowing our little one's to play on the PC. His favorite game's are Delta Force LW, Rogue Spear and Sum Of All Fears...hmmm...I agree with Ed on the old enough.:cool2:

How can PC games affect your kids behaviour no i don't agree with that at all ?

You just don't want to share the PC and the kids all ways play better than you !! ;)

If you really feel that way Ladyhawke, you're not doing your job very well.

Weird-os? You are the expert there, are you not?

I'm sorry, but I take pride in this site. I pay for it. If something is wrong here, I expect my staff to fix it. If I am wrong, I expect my staff to tell me. If a member thinks that the content on this site is wrong, I expect to hear of it.

Am I asking too much?

What event or events has alerted you to the need for an isolated and protected area for children ? Too numerous to name ? Then why provide isolation only the children and not yourself also ? Hmmm... And who is watching those who are watching ?

This is beginning to remind me of the proverbial ' Go ahead, eat...'

Whoa... My P.S. to Oldfox was just a joke! I probably should have typed J/K (just kidding) instead of using a bug-eyed smiley at the end of the post.

...children can and do aquire attitudes from volent games, thats a proven fact. Why do you think they put ratings on the cd cases.

You just don't want to share the PC and the kids all ways play better than you !! ;) [How can PC games affect your kids behaviour ] voloient games de sensitise kids to the point where they forget the differance between right and wrong . and they end up carrying out what they do in a gm in real life . granted this only covers a minority of kids but still. violent society's {ie} cartoons games and life in general do tend to spawn violent ppl .
[ie] monkey see monkey do and if you think im wrong just take a day and watch kid's watch how they act around the parents then how they are alone . some kids act just as bad in front as behind thier parents .

[OLDFOX]

I agree to a point

If your child is easly influenced then yes i agree

So shouldn't it be the parents responsibility with each individuall child .

yes it is up to parent's hence the . if the child is old enough for df any version they are old enough for cpd form :spin:

[OLDFOX]

:cool: OK ED

But i still wouldn't let my daughter come here theres still tomany strange PPL in here.
( And i'm only joking Sentinel ) :bisou:

Either way, Old Fox your idea was a sound one. A safe place for the young DF players to chat and talk about KID things. Whether we believe in kids playing DF or not we should support the idea if not to promote safe online viewing for our kids. My 2 Cents.

[Guardian]

Well.......

I would not consider this site to be something that children should be "protected" from. When things get out of hand, the staff takes care of it.

1. If there are too many "wierdos" on this site then why are you here? Do you like to "chat" with wierd and strange people? Hell I do. And if I had children I would see no issues with letting them visit this site. I don't know everyone here but I do read the posts and I feel that all the content is suitable for children.

2. Point me to a post that is too extreme for children to view. If you have problems with the posts then tell a staff member. We trust them to take care of these thing. And so far they are doing a great job.


Just my thoughts.

[OLDFOX]

All ready had this conversation with Sentinel and its all sorted ..... I hope . ;)

Hmmm...i think the whole thing is maturity and how well a child can differentiate between fantasy and reality. In some cases a 9 year old may handle a violent game/movie better than a 15 year old.

[usa320]

Muhuahahaha....that forum is rather interesting...its really a good idea.
