  1. I wonder how many moderators they use. by Ailure · · Score: 5, Interesting

    You know, considering it's for kids and all. I wonder how they would protect kids from pedophiles. On the other hand, it's nice that's it's only open when they can moderate it. People living in dodgy timezones will have a problem with that thought... I had bad past experince with events happening in midnight. :P

    Have there been any online "virtual reality" chat for kids before? >_>

    But it being spelled kindom, so it's must be a really nice chat. ;)

  2. "Giggle" is a vulgar word... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I tried to put "Giggle" in my signature, but got an error that "Giggle" was not on the list of approved words....

    My sister and I did the same thing but with the Eastern Airlines "If You Had Wings" ride at Disneyworld. Why? Two reasons... first it actually was pretty cool, and second, you didn't need a ticket to ride it.

    This was back in the days of A, B, C, D, and E tickets.

    That song still goes through my head 30 years later.

    a younger sibling of mine played the Konami (theyre IP (as in Intelectual property not Internet protocol :P ) anyway) Yugioh Online game think... kinda like an online MMORPG trading card game lol

    Among the censor list was "good"

    made for very interesting mistakes im sure

    "good game" becomes "**** Game"

    gee i wonder how much more offensive that seems hrm?

    online censoring in mulitplayer games seems to be a fad for even vaugely kiddy like stuff.
