Ooooooh if I was boss of SC for one day I would give everyone 10,000 free gems, and I would fill a room full of CoC plushie toys (lots of wizards, barbs, giants and pekkas) and jump around and play!!Quote:

Lastly, I would fix the clan chat time stamp.
I would buy a whole set of CoC plushie toys. I'm actually surprised they haven't released them yet.Quote:

Also, you would have to open that room of plushies to the public for all the 13-18 year olds to enjoy.
Too late, isn't it. Now they're discussing what they would do if they were boss of Supercell. Wonderful.Quote:

Call it personal attacks and dismiss what I'm saying if you want, but you have a forum full of people telling you that you're overbearing and overprotective. Look in the mirror.
It is time for you to realize that you cannot follow your 13 year old around and shield them from private conversations at school. You cannot watch them on the Internet all the time. If you're as concerned about your nephew as you claim to be, you might want to try teaching him some responsibility before the kids at school are the ones who are the ones telling him about things that you've been hiding from him. That makes you the bad guy, and that's what causes kids to do the opposite of what you tell them. Make a change before you lose credibility by being so closed minded.
The game is rated 9+ on the Apple store. Supercell's target demographic, it would be reasonable to assume, is 9+, though, obviously, any way they can make money is a plus to them. The problem the OP has is that online interactions can be "inappropriate" (I know that term has different meanings to everyone, but that shouldn't matter in this discussion). But, that is the case with everything you can do with other people. Kids play a mild online game, like Uncharted (rated only 13+, though any age can walk into a store and buy it), but can hear any inappropriate things in online play. I can send my kid on a nice, school-approved, 100% safe camping trip, but the other kids there or people he meets can still tell him inappropriate things. The very nature of adding other people into the mix means that the game developers no longer have control over what gets done. So, you can either try to moderate/censor it, scrap it or live with it.
Right now, Supercell has gone with the censor/report option. Personally, I would let people say whatever they want (but hey, I'm a Libertarian), since character filters are generally useless, the report button is easily abused, adding mods would add costs to a part of the game that isn't very high on my "fix-list", and getting rid of chat entirely gets rid of many things I like, while providing me no real benefits.
As for these forums, they are not actually part of the game. The current system of moderation is fine, and it is a much tamer place than many other on the Internet. That said, I do feel certain people (e.g. Illustrius, MasterHPotter) get more leeway due to their high post count (since I'm feeling charitable, I'll say that translates to a high level of meaningful contribution to the forums).
Dear OP, if you are truly afraid of your child stumbling upon this thing we commonly refer to as "The Real World" which he/she is going to discover in a matter of years then you might actually want to limit your child's gaming to single player games.
'Newmember', I shall try and repond with a curteous and respectful reply without any personal attacks since you have created a thread for which I would like to air my view on.
If these forums were restricted to members-only then what would stop kids from signing up first to see the content? I don't see how you could stop that from happening.
Any kid can simply see innappropriate material from typing all manners of stuff into google, have you contacted google to ask them to restrict how people search on their search engine? Have you contacted your local politician to see how the internet can be more restricted as a whole? Have you contacted representatives of china's government to see how they manage to control what their online users see as a basis for research?
I'm not asking in a spiteful manner, I'm just trying to guage how you compare supercell's responsibillity of internet content restriction compared to other aspects of online activity as a whole.
To analogise this subject, it's akin to buying your kid a gun then contacting the gun company to come and remove the trigger from the gun because you don't want your kid accidently shooting something/someone.
