Zanth,
Are you a parent? Do you feel you need to be warned about the potential dangers of the Internet? Come on, use some common sense. Seems a bit hypocritical for a parent to be worried about the innocent ears(or eyes in this case) of their children, yet have no problem letting their child play a simulated war game where the object is to kill each other with high powered weapons.
AH may be free now, but it will eventually be pay to play, requiring a credit card or possibly a checking account both of which you have to be 18 to have. So any playing done by a child is done at their parents' consent.
What ever happened to "It's 10 o'clock, do you know where your kids are <browsing>?" Now it, "Hey Mr. Government! What are you doing to make this world perfectly safe for everybody?"
I'm sorry if I am going off the handle a bit and it's not directed at anybody in particular. I am just getting rather fed up with the popular attitude of today and wish people would start taking more personal responsibility when interacting with society.
To date, I have not seen anything from HTC consisting of rules of conduct or any agreements pertaining to anything other than the use of the software itself. Please let me know if they do. I hardly think they have the time or resources to monitor the arena 24 hours a day. But here's a thought; maybe they figured that we could do it ourselves.
