Well i guess then in have to cut a hole in me pocket, so the gold can unburden me by
leaving a trail of coins. Just hope they dump faster than my income LOL. Well mayhaps ye can find me by following the golden trail. If ye happen to see pirates with a gold coin above, that means that they have grabbed the values in the path of me where'bouts - which was meant as an offer for u to follow - so ye looting party could sniff me up. If so ... your towed party may recklessly plunder the culprits. |

As an adult, I appreciate the protection that Disney offers me, by having a zero-tolerance policy regarding personal information. Honestly, I don't want to interact with any of you, outside the context of this game. I appreciate that it makes many things difficult. But I would not want them to relax that policy at all. I do not know how they technically could accomplish an adult-only server. Several theories above would get them close...but all would be rather imperfect.
What I don't understand, is why the "seven worst words" and their 100-200 common variations, are not filtered and replaced with "arrr." Any time a moderator suspends someone for inappropriate language, add that phrase to the "arrr" list. |

LOL ... > Aye, now back to topic < like: "Know ur place dog" - smiles, but ur right its too easy to go off topic.
> But I would not want them to relax that policy at all < neither do i, since i protect my own daughter just as they do - but that won't prevent me from time to time - to talk to other people. As to my experiences it's most likely that eventually despite all technical options a kiddo might slip thru, but as on chat pages when people find out that a youngster found the backdoor - they are reported and kicked out. Well the easist way around that problem is to shrug and accept facts - we pay but have no rights, and just leave the game. But u can be sure of this: If nobody pays for playing this game it will close - i know nobody that runs a business by being filantropists. Disney company runs a business but i dont think they run a game like this just as a service for kids. And besides and no people stand up and opposes to laws, authorities and dogma - NO reforms will ever be made. It's the people that dare to speak that make the changes (i don't say that's it's always to the best, but nevertheless ...) Back to topic ... Last edited by Jack I; 10-10-2008 at 12:18 AM..

Again, they could mitigate the copious chat issues, by "arrr"-ing the comparatively short list of words and phrases they deem unacceptable. Last edited by Jack I; 10-09-2008 at 11:54 PM.. Reason: trolling |

All Disney would need to do to allow socializing and still protect kids (and other who want the protection) is to setup a link to POF or their own POTCO forum site, with warnings (in the case of POF) that the game rules of interaction do not apply there and to be wary of predators. Players are happy and Disney's reputation is intact and liability-free.
BTW, my congrats to the mods here who keep the place safe and under control. BTW #2 -- I found this site without ever having heard of it from anyone--POTCO player or otherwise. I was interested in a place for discussing the game and found that and more. All I did was google. Anyone can do it. I have however, provided several players with the URL and others the name or solid hints about how to find POF. I have never been banned for anything.

Topic: Adult server ... let's forget about theoretical speculations: Can they ? Will they ?
A potco friend was asked by a player what her name was. She knew personal info would suspend her, so she would in a humorous way decline the question: She wrote the name of one of her potco pirates ... and was SUSPENDED ! Is THIS fair ? She wrote disney and told them the facts. They replied that they considered it personal info and continued the suspension !!! THIS is one of the reasons i find it fair and reasonable that we have a playground of or own. And i am NOT talking explicit erotical, sexual, ranting, abusive contents - i am simply talking about a server where we can be adults with the sense of humor and subhumor that we have sharing the info we want if somebody finds us interesting enough to friend us outside potco. I am sure that i also one day will be suspended because of a humorous or innocent remark. >>> reply to edgemenace : I can see that you have edited your post. I now also see why misunderstandings are made. My remark / quote > > Aye, now back to topic < was to Sarah, and not for you. Why you took it up as a personal attack idk - and i have no comments on that. You also mocked my writings and accused me of being not an adult, because of many flaws in my posts. Know this ... i am new here which means that my replies takes a while to be approved and therefore can risk being percived wrong or read in the wrong context. I am also from Denmark, so i don't master the language spoken in The United States of America so well. Last edited by Sarah; 10-10-2008 at 02:44 PM.. |

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?

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. Last edited by MacIronhawk; 01-25-2009 at 07:58 PM..

Shakes hand with Master Edgemenace ...
> Macmorrigan ... > at least offer a way for those who are over 18 to be able to contact one another off game < This is Xactly what i mean ! I did find a way now how to lead people to my existence ... i'll write u a pm "how to" if you want. > And now the D company made blog entries possible - so mayhaps we should place our corpses there so they will be aware of the need. > And it seems here also that we are censored more than usual ... Here in Denmark we call the US > United Steaks of America < simply because your country serves huge steaks - well everything is huge or bigger than normal compared to europe, and the size of the steaks have us astonished sometimes, so we nickname US as the above. It's not to ridicule, but a humorous nick like we give people dear to us nicknames. But since my postings need to be censored and approved - steaks was changed into states. Isn't that a bity TOO hysterical ? (an open question to moderators) |

Quite frankly, I thought it was a typo. Now explained, I think it's a riot
As for contacting people out game....I've always directed people here. A quick "check out pirates on line forums, look for Sarah", has always worked for me. |

Same here. And because my pirates online forums name is the same as my main pirate's name, it's not so difficult

> A quick "check out pirates on line forums, look for Sarah" <
> it's not so difficult < *** No ... smiles - it never is when you do know the magic word. But the difficulties have been how to find out what they accept and what they don't accept. They do suspend, and sometimes without an explanation - - but what they DON'T offer >>> alternatives. We have to find out ourselves. Well enough of that. And now we are back on track (well somehow) i just happen to see a disney perception of what is childstuff: A cartoon where u see Pluto plowing thru snowdrifts. All of a sudden it stops and listens ... Meow ... a pityful whining from a kitten. THAT kitten is inside a bag. The bag is tied and closed with a rope and at the end of that rope is >>> an iron !!! NOT only that - the bag and the iron floats on two different ice flakes. THAT actually made me shiver. Eventually the ice flakes will drift apart and the iron will pull down the kitten. They catch kids attention by playing with their emotions in a scary way. I call that double morale. Is THAT what they serve for kids ? In that light i find it a great contradiction the way they treat us - the adults. Excuse me ... they treat kids emotions like they were adults, and they treat adults like we are kids at the age of 13. What's going on ? They have made mistakes before. As i recall when they made the movie Fantasia it caused a furore and was considered too scary for kids - so they don't always make rational decisions. I can't help thinking related to the two events above: Do they have so strict manuals that they have no room for flexibility or rational thinking or ideas ? Maybe that's what's going on ... just a thought ... |
