I can't stress this enough:
Why does some feralheart users take advantage of the funny actions like buttswing and headbang for sexual themes? I come across so many "mates" doing some very dirty things. Isn't Feralheart for making friends, interacting with other people from around the world, and having fun? I don't understand why some people that are around 18-20 (or other ages) disturb other users by doing sex lines, or other stuff. I find buttswing lines and headbang lines funny and fun to join, :) but when people crawl under them and make it dirty, it ruins the whole thing. :-\
We should all work together to make Feralheart a, well you can say, cleaner and better game to play. :)
Thank you for your time in reading this.

This issue has been brought up many times, and really, there's nothing the staff can do really. Dirty people will be dirty. But most of the time, as far as I've seen, people are just messing around. They don't mean it really. Just ignore those people. While they shouldn't be doing it, it's not KILLING anyone, so it's not really that bad. Block them or look away if it starts bothers you too much. You can always report them too, with screenshot evidence.

I guess you're right, I mean, we can't do anything about it :-/
I didn't think it was brought up so much o_o I haven't seen any posts about it.
-
I do believe some of the dancing options could be the factor here, such as Buttswing, I think they should be put out and replaced with something a little less 'intimidating'. Also, Ruby put up a good statement that people will be dirty if they have the chance, but thankfully not all.
If you see someone raping in bonfire and just being bad in that sense, take a screenshot and whisper an in-game online moderator or PM an admin/moderator on here. c:
-
yeah about that the report button is gone so i dont know what to do anymore when i want to report these thing when i come across this terrible behaivor besides by the time i get to pming the mod i forget the offenders username
-
Well, generally, without the screenshot the username wouldn't be valid, there might be others with the username and sometimes people could frame others without a screenshot to prove it.
I've just taking some more screen shots of people being inappropriate, I just saw pups having a rape spree. o.O
-
yeah about that the report button is gone so i dont know what to do anymore
The report button never worked in teh first place, which is why it is gone.
-
'Tis true, it only stored up data over a long period of time a believe, good thing its gone now.
Well, a lot of things have been going on in Ascension island, but thankfully not a lot in Bonfire, you still see these people on their backs, its just terrible, I normally give them a stern warning about getting in trouble for raping, then they get up.

It'd help if the dirty looking actions weren't there in the first place. It doesn't take rocket science to know that was bound to happen
-
This might actually seem like quite an out of thing for me to say, especially here on the forum.
I can think of many reasons why it is this way, but if I'd try to be plain I'd say this.
It's because the majority of the fanbase of this game consist of premature teens that barely know, or just found out about the flowers and the bees. It could also be the fact that this game is still growing and is in the making, it's far far away from something like Impressive Title if you look content wise. Many of the users could easily turn out bored and do not have much in their imagination to come up with something to do except... well.. Do weird things. This doesn't go to all users though cause I have really met some wonderful users myself within the game, but if you'd just look on the surface of the hive aye.
Also since the game is rather big, and it's not exactly optimized for monitoring the users and the freedom that is actually given within the game, users cannot simply keep themselves within the boundaries and have to be the biggest, the baddest, the worst, just to BE there.
This is not the whole truth about the community though, but it's not a lie.
-
Uncreative unrealistic wolves bother me and they're allowed. If it bothers you ignore it or block them. Fake animals humping with no sexual parts isn't that inappropriate for kids, if you don't talk graphically in public (some kids have seen much more graphic mating in real life, animated animals bouncing their butts over each other is nothing)
-
It is the ideal of a controlled game environment that is what the staff is aiming for. One that is appropriate for younger ages as well. Therefore, it /is/ inappropriate. No argument about it.
-
This is a very common problem in FeralHeart. But all you need to do is block them. That is all. No matter how many times we warn them or ban them, people will still do sexual stuff. =3 My best bet is to block them.
-
If there are users who are younger than 13 or 18 years, then shouldn't the dirty people have a permanant ban? This will make FH safer for both kids, teens, and adults as well.
-
From le game rules
Users are also expected to keep any actions representing any sexual behavior such as mating/raping(Buttswinging over another character) AWAY from public maps, ignoring this rule can result in a permanent ban.
-
The action isn't dirty unless you make it out to me. If a young child saw it, they think the lion is just dancing. To prove my point (more or so to myself), I got on game and did a bit of this myself and asked my young sibling what they thought was going on. In their owns words: "Funny colorful lions dancing." And nothing more.
Feral Heart has proven to me, so far, to be what you make of it. Even if the user is in all caps yelling obscenities, claiming to be 'getting it on' with the other lion or wolf, you could still see it as something innocent. Or better yet, block/ignore the user.
-
'Tis true, it only stored up data over a long period of time a believe, good thing its gone now.
Well, a lot of things have been going on in Ascension island, but thankfully not a lot in Bonfire, you still see these people on their backs, its just terrible, I normally give them a stern warning about getting in trouble for raping, then they get up.
It's not the laying on your back that's bad. Infact, That's what the "Roll Over" option was for. It's basically the people who are buttswinging's fault. I usually lay on my back, And when I go AFK, Somebody hops on me and starts buttswinging, Then I get screenshots and complaints coming at ME.
-
Guys, we're dealing with 11-20 year olds. It's gonna happen; Teenage angst and the thought that they are being badasses online is always gonna be a draw.
-
And those 11-20 year olds will have to follow rules to continue playing, if users are intent on proving their wrong doing, screenshots taken will save problem.
-
In my opinion, even though we are given the opportunity to block it usually doesn't help me. I have a lot of people on my block list, and i tend to confuse the rapists with the annoying people. :-\
That's over, what, 1/6 almost of the community i have blocked, and another 1/6 on my friends list. That's a lot of people i have to keep in mind.
Personally, i think either the buttswing action should just be thrown in the trash or changed so that they're just shaking their butt and not moving it up or down.
That "up and down" motion of the buttswing action is most likely a trigger of this. But there's still other ways they can do sexual actions.
I usually don't have the time to report as my time is spread thin amongst Howrse, DeviantART, PolarRise and FeralHeart.
Too bad we never had a report button that actually worked. :P
Last time i checked a lot of the FH members are younger than 13; which also causes another problem. I still find them daily and often a few of those are doing sexual actions (Chances are they don't even know what they're doing).
Overall, wherever you go and whatever you do they're still going to be doing this.
And before you call me new, i've been here for over a year. Just never got the time to post.
-
Just like Red said that they do it since either they just learned the birds and the bees, or they are making a joke out of it. What some people don't understand is how -whats the right word- disturbing it can be to others. This was one of the reasons FeralHeart was shut down for an entire week, rules made stricter, and bans lengthier. When people do that the best thing to do, even though it may sound gross to you, is take a screenshot, and write down the users' names. Then from the forum, message a admin, and attach the screenshot and the names.
If there was a way to make buttswing into -> Tail wag, with the tail wagging like a dogs tail, and the butt moving the very least.
-
I agree that people should be more ethical with these actions and not use them for sexual purposes but no one can stop them but luckily if you have wings you can fly away or if not quickly dash away and do a strange pattern and disappear if they follow you but usually they won't but I still find people who do it to others and even me but just ignore them and go away kind of like what you should do to godmodders.
-
Or, or, or! You can report them, take screenshots every time it is seen so that it can be dealt with.
-
Guys, we're dealing with 11-20 year olds. It's gonna happen; Teenage angst and the thought that they are being badasses online is always gonna be a draw.
If people in that age range can follow laws and regulations at work/school/in their own household then they should have the common sense to wonder if there are rules to be followed here. I mean, really. :/
All we need is a little colored box that turns red/green to tell us when people are AFK on their name label when taking screenshots to report and then staff can actually use it as reference to see which people are just randomly "ambushing" other players in that sort of way.
-
I daily see wolves having sex with the buttswing and headbang options in The South Pole and someone usually yells out "STOP F***ING ME!!!!!!!" which nobody usually pays attention to. Since there is so many, you can't report all of them, and there really is nothing you can do about it. If you want to keep your child safe I advise you not to let them play Feral Heart and play something a bit safer.
-
There is a way to report them all. You see it, screenshot it. It's not a hard action to do. Uploading may take a bit of time, but these players are getting banned. It's worth it in the long haul.
-
well to the butt swingers and dirty people DO WHAT YOU WANT! This topic doesn't change a thing!
-
well to the butt swingers and dirty people DO WHAT YOU WANT! This topic doesn't change a thing!
Oh so they just get banned for their lifetime. Doesnt change a thing, YEY!
-
Actually Raven it may get them to change their mind... Unless they're not aware of the consequences that comes when someone sends picture evidence of them doing so... So this does change things a little
-
For as long as we've had Internet, we have always had someone to troll it.
It's a simple explanation, I believe a good majority of these people are doing it purposely for their enjoyment and to get on our nerves. They don't care if their banned, chances are some of them will just make another account.
The problem is that this issue's not going to vanish anytime soon, and it probably never will. There are too many trolls to vanquish and too many times those trolls get away with it. We can only control it enough so that we rarely see it. My solution is to chat in private maps.
But yes, as Red said, some of them can also be really immature teens who don't clearly know the sensitivity of the topic, and freely bring it up. It does happen, I know someone in Real Life who has that issue.
-
They don't care if their banned, chances are some of them will just make another account.
All bans are IP bans, no alternate account will be able to log on either.
-
FH dance moves aren't really the hottest around. I dont really like them (I could really be rocking the moonwalk on FH if it was there, it's my favorite.) but theres nothing we can really do about it. Hopefully someday FHers will wake up and smell the roses. But until then all we can do is hope for the best and try to be the best at who you CAN be. ;)
-
hate getting raped >:O Today I was chillin in Bonfire then some wierdo withthe name "Rapest" Raped me
-
Should have gotten screenshot and reported it to an admin/moderator then.
-
its really hard to get a mate, so I feel like everyone should do what they feel like (except for spamming)
that is why I said "do what you want"
To me it just makes the game more fun!
-
No it's not. There's people all over Bonfire willing to be your character's mate. Heck, there's even an entire board on the forums devoted to it here. (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&board=46.0)
Regardless, the action of butt-swinging or roleplaying out this in a public chat is against the rules and should not be done.
-
These acts are done many times in Bonfire, and even some other places, but mostly in Bonfire.
Most cases I've seen are dealt with by the ingame staff, so it shouldn't be a problem for long..
-
Ficho is worse,I saw a person raping his mate...I had to report it,it was just liek terrible....Disgusting too.Thank you,Red.
-
From le game rules

I hadn't noticed this rule b4, I'm glad it's there though. :3
-
Ok, well...My stupid sister got on feral hearts on my computer, Well...We share a computer...And she made a "Rapist". Now account is banned from feral hearts, And so is hers. Since we share the computer nobody gets to play it...I cant go anymore without it anymore! Could anybody consider unbanning the account "Midnightwolf14 and Moonlightkiller" And She promised me she won't do it anymore....She got banned for a whole YEAR! She has 11 months left...IM GOING CRAZY! Somebody please think about unbanning my computer!? I had so many freinds on there and I bet they're wandering were i'm at! :'(

The problem is that if your computer is unbanned, then she can do it again. You guys should have your own computer then. You should also tell your parents what she has done.
-
I completely disagree with FeralHeart being used for Sexual behavior, it is... Just VILE and what is even more sick is that there are little children who do it! If you want to do something like this, go into a private room at least!
That I can respect. As long as nobody can see what you are doing and you are talking in Whisper, I don't mind.

-
Yes, we all believe it's vile and disgusting, that's all very well, but I'm glad FH actually did something about it. Remember when they shut it down and asked for parental discretion before playing once more? The mods are also more sensitive about that area of FH. They ban you immediately if they see or read anything about it. This seemed to clean out Fh and I'm glad it was done. Thanks, there is no real need for this thread to go on and on. It's settled. :)
-
@Ashley Please make your own thread to whine and complain about that, don't post it here, that's somewhat unrelated to this discussion. Thanks.
-
I understand its against the rule and that its gross and raping is wrong but some people do it for fun so basically your saying get rid of the realistic rps.
-

You don't have to go around buttswinging and raping to have a realistic RP. It SHOUDN'T be done for fun either.
-
Like Ruby has said way back. If the person becomes dirty or intimidating you can either report them OR you can block them. The BLOCK button is THERE for a reason. Use it, it does become handy.
-
There are tons of nasty people on the game. For an example, one of the peoples names were "Sexy Slave" Who kept saying sexual related things.
-
Not that this would solve the problem or anything, but I would much rather the two options "buttswing" and "headbang" could just be turned into a "dance" option, for those who enjoy it, so it could be generic enough that it would be less likely to be used in a sexual manner.
__ I having never used them besides to see what they looked like when I joined, wouldn't care if these options were removed entirely from the game.
-
Yes, this problem should be fixed. I've only seen it 5 times, and I've been here only a month and a half. I think the dancelines are funny, and just something random to do. To have FUN. The only I think can fix it is getting rid of all the dance actions, and even crouch action. Even the lay down and upside lay down action. That's all they use, if we get rid of that it will stop. But we can't get rid of that, it would ruin the game's freedom. So now, the staff pretty much has to inforce it from the rules. *Shrug*
-
I think the less we complain about this kind of stuff the less the "sex trolls" of Feral Heart will harass. The more we make topics about this well known issue the more famous we will make these trouble makers feel to the point that they will want to keep doing this stuff because people are putting so much attention to it. I am strongly against removing the "Buttswing" "crouching" " lay down on back" and "head banging" actions. Why? Because I think it is ridiculous to punish the people who use the action normally for fun play and RP for those few that use it for sexual purposes. It isn't fair to punish the majority over the silly perverted actions of a few people. If you meet people like this simply block them and ignore them. I have had many lions buttswinging over my character and I just sit there and ignore them and continue what ever I am doing. Eventually they will tire and get bored and go off to harass someone else. Just give them fair warning that there are kids playing this game and that the way they are using that interraction is inappropriate and then do not talk to them anymore after that if they continue. If people want to act foolish let them get themselves into trouble don't waste your time frustrating yourself over it.
-
Don't block, report. The fact you people are saying to block instead of report these people really gets on my nerves. You want to know why it's an issue? Because it's the same people doing it when the mods aren't looking, but everyone ignores it so they go and do it again, and again, because they are getting away with it. It's not because they're getting attention, it's because YOU GUYS LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT. Most of these immature people don't even come to the forum until they've been banned!

Well I usually do report them as well and threaten them with reporting if the behavior doesn't stop... Only problem is I have seen many people here saying that the report button doesnt really work. I think what we should do is have a place on the forum where we can all post the name and picture of offenders so that appropriate action can then be taken by those in charge. Only reason why I suggest posting the picture along with the offender is so that there is proof of what they are doing and people don't just start stating names and getting innocent people in trouble. A mod scolded me a while back for posting a picture that showed an offender in the act when I was merely providing proof so that if they were going to punish the person proof was in the picture. It shouldn't be made into such a fuss if we post a pic like that here in a report section if like every user of the game young and old has seen that inappropriate behavior... its nothing new. Concern here should be more about removing the people doing the action.

There is a big topic in here that tells you how to report. Screenshot, and PM a mod or admin. What you are saying is naming and shaming, telling the whole world what people did wrong. While these people didn't follow the rules they don't need the whole forum attacking them. Keep it private and send it through PM like we ask you to.

The only reason for not doing this is ignorance because it sits RIGHT UNDER THE RULES.
-
Please Kyugima you sound quite harsh...mod or not there's no need for that tone to address an issue even if its been addressed several times before. We're all mature here and so I admit I made a mistake posting the pic on the forum and I'm terribly sorry. I have never noticed that section of the forum that you mentioned although I am pretty familiar around most of the forum. Thank you for informing me Kyugima I know for next time.
-
Technically, that stuff doesn't bother me much. On a personal level, it doesn't bother me, it looks silly and doesn't hurt me. My real problem with it is that it breaks the rules. I have yet to encounter anyone doing this myself, but if I did, I'd be reporting them for sure.
-
'Tis true, it only stored up data over a long period of time a believe, good thing its gone now.
Well, a lot of things have been going on in Ascension island, but thankfully not a lot in Bonfire, you still see these people on their backs, its just terrible, I normally give them a stern warning about getting in trouble for raping, then they get up.
Why not have a different kind of report button? There are certain people with certain computers that do not have the print screen button. Why not Make the report button act as a screenshot taker along with allowing you to explain what was happening and being able to use a Feral Heart pen tool or highlighter or something for Feral Heart to use? Hmm...I will post this in the idea thread.
-
Meh, I've noticed it, and really, personally, i don't care, but as said before, it is against the rules, and since we are a nice community, it would be better if people just abide by said rules. It's just immature people that think it's "funny" that don't see this, and threads like this pop up, and thus things get completely shot out of proportion because someone can't hold back from butt-swinging in someone's face, amongst other actions. So, really, reporting is all we can do, since taking the actions away that are used would sorta hurt the game. Sorta sucks to, a few peoples immaturity can go and kill everyone's day so quickly... :/
-
Seems like fuzz is started over an old topic once again.
As Kyugima already pointed out, these users can still roam around inside of the game if you the players do not feel like sending us information about it so it can be taken care of in a nice manner, once you done this it's really just to block them off from your presence and you should be good for the moment.
The screenshot function not working is not an excuse, there's something called an options menu inside of the game that lets you set your keys to whatever you prefer, this goes to the screenshot button as well. So the function does in fact work, and even if that wouldn't work for lets say, maybe on a Mac, then the mac should have screen snipping tools by default as far as I'm concerned. Thing is, if you want to make a difference you can do so.
The reason why the old report button was removed was because it simply never worked properly, and instead we got it removed so users wouldn't get a false impression of all their reports being read, and just getting that done took several months to get through and sorted out. Maybe you should get a new report button you might think? Well let me tackle this down just as I had in another topic.
The report button itself when it used to exist, most of the time when I even caught a conversation about it and reporting, it was for silly personal and non legit reasons in which we wouldn't even deal with. The community is not mature enough to have such an easy access to a report button right next to someone's bio to be fair. But even so, if we had a report button as we used to, and it actually worked, how much pages of text do you think we'd get every single day? And who would be forced to read this?
I'm certain that NO one has the time, yet even the interest to sit through every single hour of free time they get just to read about more valid and less valid reports that could be received, and instead we'd get the old impression from many users had that the staff doesn't give any concern about the players which is far from true. The mods are here to play the game just as you and me, and every single second, minute, hour, they put into helping you guys and responding to whatever you might send them, is their free time in which they get nothing in return except possibly the feeling of being helpful and being there for you guys.
Getting more mods you might say? Well it doesn't work that easily either since being a mod is a great responsibility and there's quite a few things we must take note of when we get these and as it seems, it gets even harder to find good potential mods as the requirements seems to become bigger as the community grows.
I wish to quote the post I wrote back in January.
This might actually seem like quite an out of thing for me to say, especially here on the forum.
I can think of many reasons why it is this way, but if I'd try to be plain I'd say this.
It's because the majority of the fanbase of this game consist of premature teens that barely know, or just found out about the flowers and the bees. It could also be the fact that this game is still growing and is in the making, it's far far away from something like Impressive Title if you look content wise. Many of the users could easily turn out bored and do not have much in their imagination to come up with something to do except... well.. Do weird things. This doesn't go to all users though cause I have really met some wonderful users myself within the game, but if you'd just look on the surface of the hive aye.
Also since the game is rather big, and it's not exactly optimized for monitoring the users and the freedom that is actually given within the game, users cannot simply keep themselves within the boundaries and have to be the biggest, the baddest, the worst, just to BE there.
This is not the whole truth about the community though, but it's not a lie.
So honestly, the game is rather stripped down compared to other games out there, and as it seems getting content and patches isn't something we will get too often, removing two of the few actions that exist would most likely get many of the players unhappy since they are still liked and used by many. I can admit that something like the headbang could be changed to not look like a "rump bang", but it's the idea of just removing actions that I do not like. Especially since it's SO easy just NOT to do anything dumb with it. All the rules inside the game is very simple and easy to follow.
So really, if you see someone do something naughty in the game, report them. They might not be able to play FeralHeart for the upcoming months, even year if it's bad enough, and anyone can report.
And as a notice for you guys, if you notice that someone is new or unaware of the rules that you actually can contact and talk to, maybe get them to read the rules? It's really just a few clicks away and then it's right in front of you. I'm certain that if the majority of the users in the game knew about all the rules it would be a better place eventually.
-
Red thank you for posting that it was very informative and honestly I think your response is the best one to close in all the points mentioned in this thread.
-
Considering there's nothing graphic, I'd just ignore them. In spite of what they may be thinking, pretend they're just dancing, cuddling or being generally silly, because that's all their animations are doing. People who look at someone under a butt-swinger or head-banger and think "They're having sex!" have the dirty minds.
In the chat it's just cyber-sex and doesn't belong anywhere public. Screenshot + report, it's fun.
I love how helpful and relaxed the mods are when dealing with these issues.

In the chat it's just cyber-sex and doesn't belong anywhere public. Screenshot + report, it's fun.
I love how helpful and relaxed the mods are when dealing with these issues.
Thank you! A reasoning kindred soul.
It honestly is not that big of a deal. If it is text and in public rooms, report.
Just dancing, for christ's sake you can turn the actions off with a click. People would rather write paragraphs than do a simple click.
In private rooms between consenting parties, whatever, that's their business. It, honestly, is just words. You can find WAY better things for sexual purposes on the internet than feralheart. I have no problem with private roleplay so long as no one (human person) is hurt by giving information.
Tl;dr: If you can't handle lions dancing, kindly leave FeralHeart.

Considering there's nothing graphic, I'd just ignore them.

Exactly.

I think a lot of people on feral heart get upset over the strangest things. I was dancing and I had someone come lay next to me then started yelling at me to stop dancing because it was 'annoying'
Was also in a big group of dancing people and this same person was running around and saying we were gross and disturbing. for dancing in a group? (We were all spread out, not on top of each other)
I think that as long as there is no public text, it shouldn't be that big of an issue. If the image disturbs you, block them. Your mind might think it looks like sex, but they might just be trying to make their wolves/lions dance with each other with non-sexual intent. For all you know, their whisper/party chat rp could have them salsa dancing, not having sex. And then you are the one with the dirty mind, and not them.
Maybe their rp is giving a drowned wolf/lion cpr. There is plenty of other situations that could be happening in their private roleplay that would use those actions in a way that YOU might think looks like sex but without the text, you really have no way of knowing.
Also, the buttswing action is fine. It is the headbang action that really looks like humping. Buttswing goes side to side, if kids thinks that looks like sex then I don't think they can really be that corrupted yet.

Well I think its fine because its JUST A GAME! and animals do this in real life too, so why is it wrong? we are playing as animals!
-

Because it is against the rules and will get you banned. Simple as that. Just because you are playing animals doesn't make you animals that have no control over your own actions. Whether you do these things is not a case of personal taste, it is a case of don't do it, you are breaking rules if you do and will get yourself banned.
-
Been over this ravenscar, it's against the rules, doesn't matter if you think it's a game, or animals.
This might be a sly comment, but really, try to host a game for most ages, let people go around and mate/rape eachother, and see where that gets you in the end of the day.
This is nothing that will happen, but if you want this sort of behavior or lots of cursing in the game, then we'd had to bump up the age limit to 18+, requiring personal information when signing up and playing the game. But then most users in here wouldn't even be able to play the game or even want to.
FeralHeart is not meant for these sort of things and that's end of. Doesn't matter if it's a game, it's a joke, it's animals, it shouldn't happen inside of the public chats or maps that could be viewed by younger players. It's not only about it not being severe or just a joke, or people taking it too seriously. There's a lot of things that must be thought about when hosting a big game like this and users can't just behave as they please because they are fine with it.
You don't put on the TV during children hours and seeing Erotic movies saying "Hey, we do it in real life. *trollface*".
I really hope I will not need to repeat myself about this.
-
Yes, i agree Red. If we made the age group higher half of Feralheart would have to leave. Including me. The bad thing is, whoever i approach doing this when i try to take a screenshot ends up running away. So many people do this. And if they really want to do this why wont they go find games that are mean't for this? Seeing people do this makes me grossed out and disapointed. Because no one reads the rules anymore. Sometimes when i see this i run up to them and tell them to read the rules. When i do this they poof out of Feralheart. For now on whenever i see this i will report them. And i will warn them about it and tell them that if i send it they will be banned. Then they will beg me not to, but i will still send it. So beware of me, if you are breaking the rules i will report you (This goes to all those gross people out there) >.<
-
Not to point any fingers, but wouldn't most of the members just pretend to be 18+ and still play the game? It's no worse than "I agree to these terms and conditions". I think it's honestly something to consider. Changing the game to 18+ would eliminate many of the far younger players, but those between 14-18 will likely fake being over 18. Meaning we wouldn't have to consider "Younger kids can see this Omggg! D:" It's harsh, but would get rid of these issues.
Maybe my thinking is too radical.
-
I think the headband action should be replaced with something else.
Maybe the SHUFFLE?! 8D
-
Haruki, I can understand what you are getting at and at some points I do agree the age should be changed to higher ages. However, 18 year olds would not see this game as being simply aged higher. When you "Agree to Terms and Conditions" that means that you are to respect the rules and oblige them; also respecting that the game is aimed at 13+. By agreeing to the conditions you agree that whatever is basically "thrown at you" you have agreed tol get yourself into.
-
You're totally right about it!!. If ill catch people doing it i shall report them. c8
I love dancelines too D: And some people crawling under the PARTEH! people just blows off the PARTEH! mode :'(
Ill help with it too, I think you're very right about all tis c8
-
I have a whole folder of reports with both cursing and Sexual Behaviors. i believe we should report them so they learn that they can't get away with it.
-
Well, it is correct on the sexual behavior it's repulsive. Some are younger than others, and simply don't understand, and call for "Trolling", which is a rule-breaking thing. The best thing to do, it to report them or simply block them.
-
I was in The South Pole the other day when someone's group chat leaked. I have no idea who it was, and what group, but it was MATURE. Explicit, and DEFFINATLY not for kids. They were acting as 'humans' witch makes it more the worst. You don't only get the butswingers on here. Sometimes You get worse. Yeah, the butswingers are a problem, but compared to soem fo the things going on, then it is nothing.
-
If you block anyone, you can't see their character and you can't see their chat messages.
Which is super helpful for people extremely sensitive to things like this.
-
Yeah i hate this raping and have you know well i will just call it "sexual behavior stuff" i see this very often now and then. yestarday i saw a lot of mates doing very very dirty things.
Well, generally, without the screenshot the username wouldn't be valid, there might be others with the username and sometimes people could frame others without a screenshot to prove it.
I've just taking some more screen shots of people being inappropriate, I just saw pups having a rape spree. o.O
and yeah i also saw pups doing a rape spree which that is even worst, My little brother (9 years old) acutally plays this games and see this. he himself says it is a major problem. i also play IW and saw this too. WHAT ARE WITH THESE SEXUAL BEHAVIOR STUFF (people should get a life these days -_-)
-
Yes, this is something I've noticed as well. A lot of people are young, curious and what not, many perhaps never experienced any of this before.
I don't mind the ones who choose to do these things, it's their choice. They might be in a relationship and what not.
Doing things like this in public is against the rules and shall be reported, a lot of people need to realize the faults and mature a little before returning I suppose.
This is what I wrote in another thread which is practicly the same.
Thought I'd share my thought on this as well as everyone else.
-
I don't like it when people come on FH and do this kind of nasty stuff. I especially hate it when people try to bring it into friendly RPs, especially if they are my RPs. >:( I do not tolerate any nasty sexual behavior in my RPs. If I see them doing anything like that, I say "If you want to do that kind of stuff, take it somewhere else. It's against the rules and it's NOT happening in my group."
And what surprises me even more is that some of these players who do these sexual roleplays are kids younger than 12! -Facepalm- What is the world coming to?! :o

The people will never listen and continue, they just do what they do.

I think those two dances should be replaced with "thriller" (or smooth criminal) and "teh moonwalk" cause moon walk is very popular. Disco is also recommended by 9/10 doctors everyday for about a week (lol)

Yeah, i have actually realised that most of the people who do it are younger then 12! I very rarely see people 12+ doing it... What is wrong with kids these days?

The age AROUND 12 is when kid just learn about the birds and the bees. Red said himself!

I understand some of the peoples frustration, but as Red said on his first post some of them are just bored and imagine things they can do. I do support that it is a problem, but I won't report some unless they are bullying me through the game. And other than that reason I do not care what people do. And as long as they aren't killing you just look away or block that person is it that hard. Just let people do what they want to do Okay. We don't even have good reasons to report them other than the younger kids that play and as a lot of posts say most little kids think they are just dancing. So get over it.
-
I'll admit it, me and my friends play around like this. Not seriously, but just goofing around like the dumb derps we are. I say, just let people be people and if they bother you that much, block 'em CX

First off drop the rude "So get over it" tone. This post is in the "Game Discussion" section for a reason.
There is a good reason to report these people and it's because they are breaking rules. Any action done by an individual that breaks a rule even if it doesn't directly effect you or concern you is still an action that harms the integrity of the community and game as a whole. Your thinking is exactly why many people over look things as people just being bored or silly and don't send in the reports that can help clear up the game from rule breaking individuals. It's never correct to just let people do what they want because there will always be those who abuse and mess good things up for others. Bad behavior starts with small things like this problem and eventually escalate into something much worse. Maybe next time you see someone doing this do not only do yourself a favor by looking away or blocking, but rather the whole FH community a favor and please report.
-

So... You just admitted to breaking the rules? Even admitted to an offence that will get you booted out of the game for a year?
It's against the rules for a reason. Respect that, abide by the rules, report rule breaking, and don't think that rules are just guidelines you don't have to follow.
-
Mk, so I dont know if someone has reminded everyone about this before in this thread, I dont really have time to read 10 LONG pages =/
Guies. Take a screenshot of whatever is going on (do NOT turn off the nametags), copy & paste it in Word, Powerpoint, Pant ect, so you dont lose it, then finally upload it to Tinypic and go the the FH forums and forward it to a mod. I have a feeling that will stop alot of sexual behavior between players in public maps :I
And I think the R word (I cant even type it in fully; its just so repulsive) needs to be cut down a bit. I've seen people in general use it, but now I'm rarely seeing it. But still, the idea that people are saying that in a game 10/11+ is disgusting. Anyways, these are things we can't really stop on our own.
Maybe there should be a special forum called, 'Keeping FeralHeart Safe?' =/
It's not just sexual behavior that bothers me, its very heavy language. I mean, a few mild swear words are fine but things like the F word (again, cant say it because its just so idiotic) typed in fully is rather inappropriate. Now if they type it in code, its rather different. But still, it's the same thing.
(I agree with Kyugima all the way)
-
(Lol UR wiggy gif = my head exploded from laughter) I think that it should be done on a private map only certain people own that are okay with that. Otherwise more servers or something (don't hate on me for my opinion! >:,< a lot of peeps do tht *x*) would help, such as over thirteen, and under thirteen, &c., even though I would take a bit to create.
-
So true
-
Or just go to Atlantis.
Atlantis is a public map and therefore sexuality is not allowed. People need to learn to play the game the way it was intended to be played. Leave sex or anything sexual for that matter out of it. Its against the rules. Period

I've had my share of kicks and bans, kind sir. I'm aware that it's against the rules. My point is, if you're going to break the rules anyway, you might as well do it in a less crowded area so people won't have to suffer any mental damage. Doesn't mean I should be handing out tips, seeing as it's still rulebreaking.
I sincerely apologise.
Period.
First off I am not a sir but I can understand your mistake because my rp character is male. So no hard feelings there.
Aside from that if you have been banned before that means you should know by now what is accepted behavior and what is not accepted behavior. If you are aware of that rule then you should know that it is against those rules to do any sort of sexual actions including conversation. So do not go suggesting to do this type of rule breaking behavior in Atlantis as it is a public map. By you saying," My point is, if you're going to break the rules anyway, you might as well do it in a less crowded area so people won't have to suffer any mental damage," you're still basically saying it's fine to break rules. Plain and simple that's exactly what I am pointing out that you shouldn't be saying. If you know it's wrong then don't suggest it. Be a better example to those in the community and don't state things like this if, as you say, you clearly know it's against the rules.
Stated by Red himself in the Official game rules:
"Users are also expected to keep any actions representing any sexual behavior such as mating/raping(Buttswinging over another character) AWAY from public maps, ignoring this rule can result in a permanent ban."

Servers cost money. If people do decide to get sexual, do it in a private map and in whisper.
Or just go to Atlantis.
Like Lord Suragaha said, Atlantis is still a public map. Just because it is less crowded, doesn't change the fact that it is against the rules and can only be done in a private map or in whisper. And, since you have had your share of kicks and bans in the past, you should know by now whats accepted and what isn't. So I agree with Lord. But, of course I am not trying to start any toruble or an argument.
Other than that, people shouldn't be using this game for sexual behaviour. Especially in public maps. If you want to roleplay in a sexual way, go on a game based for that or do that stuff in your own private map.

Yeah, don't double point things out, unless necicary (if that's even spelt right ::I) but I think they got the point XD

Please don't go too off-topic, and please don't argue.
P.S: Lock Thread?

I say I'm half with that BI
-
This topic is getting quite old and most things has been discussed, not to mentioned several times.
In the end though it's against the rules and should not be done in the public maps under any condition.
Will lock this topic since it's been going for long enough.
