<\/p>\nHey Kids!<\/p>\n
Well you might have noticed a surge in the number of users in the kids chat recently. \u00a0The reason for the surge was due to several videos posted on Youtube. \u00a0The latest one, once again, sent out the wrong message. \u00a0 I get it they are angry about Youtube taking down MoneyMax’s video, but taking it out here is a bit interesting. \u00a0 I also get it that those Youtubers are all close friends and MoneyMax cried to them for help so, as friends, are trying to help. \u00a0Friendship is important.<\/p>\n
The new video was definitely more fair than some of the previous videos. \u00a0The one made by the Indian dude (loved that laugh when you read out MoneyMax. \u00a0No we didn’t get that from Fivvr LOL) was also a bit more fair. \u00a0There were trying to skew to one side, but the evidence on our site shifted him to be more fair. \u00a0 Rambos video was just horrendous and it shows by the number of subscribers he has so no need to talk much about his garbage of a video. \u00a0Although his interview with MoneyMax sure showed how shady MM is. \u00a0He claims he received a bunch of messages and then the #### pics. \u00a0But this platform doesn’t allow sharing of images, so again hope you see where we’re coming from with the lies. \u00a0 Somewhere in the video it shows Rambo confirming that MoneyMax approached him in full panic mode (and the other YTers also most likely) asking him “what he should do”. \u00a0No doubt they all collaborated to discuss how to handle the removal of his Youtube video and to exact revenge or is it “war” (lol) on this website. \u00a0The best thing to go about this was to send a message to all of their subscribers that this website is horrible and Youtube banned the video for no reason when they are trying to send out awareness about a predator issue that clearly exists in society. \u00a0 That was the best angle they had so they ran away with it. \u00a0Also, it allows them to get some new subscribers, content for their channel and they can help their friend. \u00a0Win-win situation for them I would $ay. \u00a0 \u00a0We all know how this website feels about MoneyMax’s video. <\/p>\n
The whole reason we were upset about MoneyMax’s video and defended ourselves was because he made up a whole bunch of stuff. [the one week delay in Arkham replying, the screenshots he claims to have sent, number of real predators he actually talked to, not knowing where the report button was, lied about us targeting a ban on his specific IP to stop his investigation, the claims that he received #(!@ pics on our platform, oh and that fake audio clip he claims to have received topped it all off. \u00a0Which everyone believed WE were responsible for. \u00a0The list goes on and on.]<\/em> \u00a0Wake up, most of it is made up. \u00a0It’s all in his imagination and story telling. \u00a0Stop being fooled! \u00a0You only need a few days and a couple videos to figure him out. \u00a0 Tried to make his video more believable (and he succeeded judging from the followers comments) and made everyone here out to be running some sort of pedo-ring. \u00a0 That was definitely slanderous. \u00a0 He posted it KNOWING that he made a lot of things up and exaggerated some stuff. \u00a0Maybe his arrogance from not receiving a reply to his list of questions (the email we never received) triggered him. \u00a0I don’t know. \u00a0I wouldn’t even rule out that his email of screenshots was NEVER sent. \u00a0After all, if we got his first email, the second one should not have been sent to SPAM. \u00a0Hmm. \u00a0Makes you wonder. \u00a0 Anyways, regardless, we never received it. \u00a0 \u00a0 He ran his video of lies and obviously now the rest is history. \u00a0 Again, we are NOT against his awareness message. \u00a0We are against the way he presented it.<\/p>\n Now one thing that is abundantly clear from all this is that there are indeed many children watching their channels. \u00a0So stop it with the fake concern for any curse words on this website while pleading innocence. \u00a0It doesn’t stick. \u00a0Just look at your channels video full of foul language. \u00a0 \u00a0If I had to guess, 70-80% of all of these Youtubers channels are children.<\/p>\n The New Video<\/strong><\/p>\n This new video released today presented a tiny<\/strong> bit of our side of the story. \u00a0 We respect that. \u00a0 The title was again the wrong message to send. \u00a0I suppose it was to make a point about why Youtube should not have removed his video. \u00a0For the record, all of those users we were able to see displayed in his video had already been banned before video release. \u00a0One of them was a repeat offender from Pakistan we are working on to try to eliminate this monster but banning that entire country is not possible. \u00a0 We hope he also filed reports for them to ensure that. \u00a0 If you are trying to raise awareness, then make a video about the dangers of the internet as a whole and share safety tips on how kids can be more safe. \u00a0Saying that this or that platform is a pedo ring and should be shut down is not the way to go about this. \u00a0 \u00a0Every single platform and application out there is potentially…you know what…IS<\/strong> a target of predators. \u00a0 Anything that kids use will always be a target. \u00a0It does not mean that these platforms are some sort of pedo ring or harboring predators.<\/p>\n Today our moderators and team witnessed non stop spamming from subscribers of their channels. \u00a0 Some of these kids gathered a bunch of people to spam and troll. \u00a0Not productive at all. \u00a0 \u00a0Encouraging spam should never be condoned. \u00a0 Some of them came in and the first thing that came out of their mouths were “WOW, this website is trash”, “Look at all the predators” , “The moderators are all pedos”, “F You Peds”, etc. \u00a0These messages were coming from people who were literally there for a few seconds. \u00a0 The Youtubers are partly to blame because they, for the most part, shared one side of the story. \u00a0 Now, the scary part about this ordeal was that some users were creating fake profiles in order to “frame” this website. \u00a0 They literally created two accounts and spoke to each other in a make believe fake predatory scenario. \u00a0 We have evidence of this and may present this at a future date. \u00a0 Now that is something we would expect from MoneyMax, but that is going very low. \u00a0 \u00a0 We are going to continue to ban users who are there for the sole purpose of spamming and trolling. \u00a0That is not awareness, its spam. \u00a0If you legitimately want to use this website, then please do so and follow the rules. \u00a0Otherwise, please leave and do something more productive.<\/p>\n If you suspect this website or any site is encourage predators to come and harboring them, then of course report it to the authorities. \u00a0However, do so responsibly. \u00a0If these organizations wake up to a million of reports, \u00a0you take away the staffs ability to handle other real reports, who actually might have someone in real danger and more urgency.<\/p>\n Another question that must be asked is why have these Youtubers not looked at the evidence that was presented on our blogs? \u00a0The ones regarding MoneyMax’s lies? \u00a0If you actually examine those points and then re-examine the question of why Youtube removed the video, you might actually get some answers. \u00a0 Instead of throwing a tantrum saying Youtube was wrong to remove a video about “awareness”, ask yourselves why. \u00a0You can’t just make a video and slander other people without credible evidence. \u00a0At least, we hope that was one of the reasons Youtube ultimately removed the video. \u00a0 It deserved to be. \u00a0It would have also been nice if the videos author reached out to us.<\/p>\n Some points that the new video brought up were accurate and others were either not, or taken out of context. \u00a0 *For example: The point about “total chaos if we started banning without proof” was taken out of context. \u00a0What we meant is there has been a long history of false claims by one user towards another in order to get that user kicked or banned. \u00a0That is why we require proof. \u00a0The FBI or any agency would require proof as well. \u00a0We’re not going to start banning people without evidence. \u00a0That will never change. \u00a0Saying that it wouldn’t result in chaos, if we did, because the same user can just create another account, is foolish. \u00a0Well so can a predator than too, right? \u00a0So should we stop banning them? \u00a0Yet another statement made without thought. *(edit: added June 18 after rewatching the video) \u00a0 The accurate points are things we are working on about increased moderation and moderation tools are something we are working on. \u00a0It’s always easier said than done, but we ARE giving our “A” game. \u00a0We are in the process of adding more moderators to the team. \u00a0Our goal is for 24\/7 full moderation. \u00a0 Again, we don’t want to start listing our moderator hours to allow for a predator to take advantage of that. \u00a0It would be quite foolish to say that. \u00a0 \u00a0Some moderation is done invisibly so if you do not see a moderator online it does not necessarily mean there isn’t one on.<\/p>\n We are not a perfect website. \u00a0We never said we were. \u00a0 It’s easy to say “well, why don’t you have this?” or “why don’t you have that on your website?”. \u00a0 Again, that is so much easier said and done. \u00a0That is in a perfect world. \u00a0We are not in a perfect world. \u00a0 I wish there was some software that can actually detect who a predator is. We wish, when a user logs on, and selects his\/her age, that some magic sensor would appear to see the nervous sweat dripping down a \u00a0predators fingers while he selects an age that is not really him. \u00a0It is impossible to be a perfect website when the website is a social community type of website which allows random people to participate. \u00a0 \u00a0We can only try to make it as safe as we can. \u00a0Individuals and parents must also take some responsibility in that as well. \u00a0Educate your children about the dangers of the internet. \u00a0Do not take it away from them, but please educate them more about it. \u00a0 Why do you think there are hundreds of websites outlining safety guidelines for kids to follow? \u00a0None of them say “turn off the internet, it’s too dangerous”. \u00a0 They give tips on how to make yourselves safer when you are online. \u00a0We have provided that information here. \u00a0 \u00a0 Knowing that everything on the Internet is not perfect, we WILL continue to do our part and improve as much as we can.<\/p>\n Happy chatting and stay safe everyone.<\/p>\n – Kidschat.net Team<\/p>\n Update #1<\/strong><\/em>: We are looking into adding a report button to the private chats now. \u00a0 Part of the problem was this software is not owned by us so we never had the ability to make the custom changes that everyone very much wanted. \u00a0It’s very easy to say “Add this” or “add that” but if you ask any developer, it’s not that easy unless you actually had the source code. \u00a0But it looks like it might be possible. \u00a0So, we are looking further into it and will keep everyone posted. \u00a0 That should save a lot of time for everyone and hopefully further improve the safety for everyone.\u00a0\ud83d\ude00<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey Kids!
