I have my own theories, but I would rather not voice them, but would rather see if I am correct.

In terms of younger players, I think the media has a lot to do with it. If you think about it, there is always something on the news about pedophilia, and I should imagine that kids around the Internet are often warned by their parents these days to be very weary of such. Children and younger players probably think that they are slightly at risk by being around adults in a game environment which they thought was just for children.

I'm not accusing any adult on GraalOnline of being a pedophile, but I think it is probably a reflex action for kids to display negativity to adults around Graal because they were so regularly warned by parents.

Then again, I am sure that you would do exactly the same to your kids.

I am slightly suprised that this is the first time this has been mentioned in this thread, and I do agree that kids should always be cautious.
I don't, however, think they should be downright rude and disrespectful.
They should definately be extremely careful as to what information they give out about themselves all the time.
Someone could say they are 13, and be 40. I am sure everyone here realizes that.

Yes, I have taught my kids to be extremely careful on the internet (whether they do or not is a whole different story), but I have also taught them to be respectful towards everyone, regardless of age, race, disability, etc...
Just to be careful as to not give out information about themselves which can be used to find them.

You use "your powers" far to harshly, but hey since when has my bloody oppinion being a player counted? You do stuff anyway even if you're wrong. MOOO!

I have admitted I was wrong many times.
Also, I have made up no rules at all for Graal, so I don't know where you get that from.

I am not sure how things are in many places across the world, but here, that teaching of respect and such I think is often neglected by parents. Around here, over 80% of the youths are delinquant and abusive, and I guess those same traits transfer across to online games.

This is true. Moon Goddess rarely completely creates new rules. Rather, she simply claims that something violates an existing rule when it in fact does not.

Either that or it's people like you that are in the wrong but dont like being told what to do and will never admit that they're wrong. Being young minded is what it's called.

Obviously it will be deleted if I post about it on the forums. Want me to forum PM you some examples of moderations provably inconsistant with the rules?
