View Full Version : New bf/gf/dating restrictions
RULE CHANGE: please read!
After a lengthy discussion, the moderators here at vmkforums have decided to ban future and remove old discussions/posts involving in-game bf/gf/dating.
Due to the fact that this is a "G" rated forum, we have decided that those discussions are inappropriate for this board even though they are allowed in the game. As a reminder, all other bf/gf/dating is also not allowed (see existing guidelines (http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/announcement.php?f=2)).
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we continue to keep vmkforums safe and enjoyable for everyone.

futureimagineer1117 09-16-2005, 08:04 PM If only VMK could do this..
You're right.
Shanniegina 09-17-2005, 01:10 AM I tottaly agree. I mean, these fourms are for children of all ages. If people want to date, then do in it person (wicth I think is safer, anyway) because who could this be? A 10 year old; dating a 55 year old! It could be anyone. And, it just makes people not want to go on these fourms. Some children can't handle "let's make out online", witch I think is pretty nasty myself. My point is that we have to keep a clean, safe, fourms website. The next thing you know, they will be doing it on VMK :)
MsBehave 09-17-2005, 06:07 AM Thanks for doing that! I disliked all that talk about gf/bf alot.
-CL_MsBehave
prisoner 09-17-2005, 11:14 AM First of all, let me say that I will support this decision by the moderators. I know they have a job that can be rough, and making this rule will hopefully make their job, and all of our experiences on the forum, better.
On the other hand, I'm sorry that this rule was made, and that it was considered necessary.
One of the unique things about this forum is that it is multi-generational. I have been on many Disney forums, and they are usually dominated by either adults OR kids, but very rarely is there a mix. This is the first forum I've been a member of where kids, teens, young adults, and older adults are all talking about the same things. It has been educational to me, and I hope it has for others as well.
I will admit that the bf/gf debate has, quite frequently, been quite heated. And I'm very sorry it has. Perhaps on this topic more than any others the different views and outlooks were most clear, and perhaps this was where it was most important that we talk. In these discussions I was a part of, I truly learned more about different perspectives on this from a wide variety of people. It shaped my opinion, and (again) I hope others understood both sides of the issues better. I hope some have improved their discussion and communication skills as well.
With this debate gone, the discussions already feel less significant. It seems that all the posts on this issue have been replaced by people asking for Green Flip-Flops - hardly a worthwhile replacement.
PowerGirl 09-17-2005, 01:16 PM :Embar: I haven't seen any on the site, but I just joined so :Embar:
Good thing though, i'm against that kind of thing.
JustmeSt 09-19-2005, 02:15 PM I'm new, so I didn't see all the clutter messages about dating and "taken" or "not taken", but it sounds like it was a wise decision to eliminate this kind of talk on the forum. Thanks, Mods for doing a great job.
coolalex11 09-21-2005, 11:16 AM wat is dg/eg/dating :confused: :confused: If only VMK could do this..

This is the first forum I've been a member of where kids, teens, young adults, and older adults are all talking about the same things. It has been educational to me, and I hope it has for others as well.I have to agree here; the majority of discussions on this as well as other topics have been rather interesting. I can understand the job the moderators must have had sorting though it, though.With this debate gone, the discussions already feel less significant. It seems that all the posts on this issue have been replaced by people asking for Green Flip-Flops - hardly a worthwhile replacement.In general, I think the posts (even the trade posts) have sort of lost their spark since the end of summer. Maybe just fewer people posting, period.
SpinMarty 09-21-2005, 09:20 PM I have to agree here; the majority of discussions on this as well as other topics have been rather interesting. In general, I think the posts (even the trade posts) have sort of lost their spark since the end of summer. Maybe just fewer people posting, period.
I, too, like the cross-generational topics that one can get many viewpoints. That is a unique quality of this forum.
I also agree that posts have lost a spark, but not to do with this particular rule. Rather, I feel that it is because people have less time to spend online due to school starting up and the like.
blueotter 09-22-2005, 01:52 AM :CastMem: :pluto:Yeah i'm glad they stopped that. This is a site to talk about vmk! not an online dating service!! :mixed-smi :cat1:
PinkTinkPixie 09-22-2005, 05:32 PM i dont get what those messages are can someone explain
have u ever seen ppl asking if u are taken on vmk? that's what it is. ppl talking about that.
LadyRaiders 09-22-2005, 06:03 PM Go mods!! Mods rock!
PinkTinkPixie 09-22-2005, 10:02 PM this is a good idea. i was just wondering... are the cast members gonna ban it from vmk?
Miss MeowsALot 09-22-2005, 10:22 PM this is a good idea. i was just wondering... are the cast members gonna ban it from vmk?
Dout it! But anyway nice Idea. This will put a stop to all thoughs BF GF threads and complaints. At first I was ok with it but after a while it gets alittle out of hand.

Alienboy 10-06-2005, 01:24 AM FINALLY! its gotten crazy the things ppl do, i wish they would do that in VMK atleast tone it down
eagle2401 10-06-2005, 01:30 AM Ty finnaly. that is disturphing to a 9 year old like me!!
Annia 10-06-2005, 01:41 AM It is completely annoying. I see rooms on the popular guest rooms list titled "Boys come pick your girl!" and "Come Find Your Match!".
Most of the players on VMK have titles now that say 'taken or 'not taken'
Also, lots of girls on this game are desperate for a boyfriend, as long as he is cute. That really disturbs me. I was sharing my computer with my friend (He is a boy and has a boys account on the game). We were on his account.
Wherever he went, girls would race up to him and ask him to be their boy. He would get at least three friend requests from girls in each room. It was sort of funny, but sad at the same time.
SweepHunter 10-06-2005, 01:57 AM I am tired of people asking me for dates.
In MSN messenger I have friends who I know and trust.
It is wrong for people to be online or one the telephone looking for friends or love or dates. There is no way to know if the person you are talking to is safe. On the phone there are voice changers that make it easy to sound like a kid or teen ager.
This practice of encouraging people to date is wrong. This is a G rate Disney site which is safe supposedly. The kids then will get the idea that they can do this elsewhere but not realize until it is too late that they are getting into a dangerous situation.
I had a high school classmate who was bullied all of his school years. He met a guy who was into witchcraft, demons, claimed to be a vampire and more. It started out to be harmless friendship and fun. My classmate probably was on drugs and did very very bad things. There is more but that is all you need to know is that he started out looking for a friend and that so called friend end up luring him into bad stuff.:mad:
We cannot condone in a safe place certain actions because young people may think they can do those elsewhere.
Thank you for discontinuing this dating stuff.
Yippee.
JungleJacob 10-06-2005, 02:40 AM wooohooo!:party-smi :luxhello: :music-smi :steering: :jumping-s YOU ROCK!!

compnerd 10-08-2005, 08:12 PM Frankly I cant believe that It is allowed. They are digging themselves into a hole. Deeper and deeper with every new player!
PrincessFunk 10-23-2005, 01:53 AM ya on vmk lots of ppl saying come baby and rooms called meet ur match and want to get mer (married) i am very sick of it and since there are more girls then boys on vmk, ppl are always asking my brother if he is "taken"

First of all thanks for doing that, as it causes so many arguments on this site.
But second of all if VMKF is stopping this bf/gf stuff, then shouldnt VMK itself be doing that?
thanks

Jolber 04-19-2006, 10:32 AM good that they removed that, sounds good this
Manchester United 04-19-2006, 11:32 AM That is a good rule as this place is for talk about the realted topics (VMK) not to talk about bf and gf material great new rule!

xxVMK is own by Disney and Nick owns VMKForums. We have our own policies seperate from VMK. We strive to keep a G-rating and have found often that relationship discussion quickly turn to become non G-Rated. Therefore, we've had to ban such discussions. VMK would prefer that people don't talk about relationship discussions, but haven't had to ban it all together as of yet. Though with their word filtering, they can keep it down to a minimum. Our word filter is a great deal more limited as we don't wish to hinder discussions. We have mods/admins that review the posts and can manually remove non G-rated discussions.
Amberina 04-19-2006, 12:25 PM thx Batleth for teh info, and to teh other mods who made this decision!i think it was the right thing to do!
Penguinz 04-19-2006, 03:27 PM YES FINALLY!!! I wish they made a new rule in VMK to make everyone STOP DOING THAT!
Sarahisme 04-26-2006, 01:26 AM VMK says it's ok to have a "special friend" lol some people treat them TOOO special! Thanks for posting this zman! And thank you Silly Princess! U BOTH ROCK! :)

WCPagentGirl 04-27-2006, 07:55 PM I didn't really see the big point about it I mean it is not like u can give u there # or where u live. I mean gosh ppl
It isn't G-Rated. Simple as that. And most of the time it is gross, sick, and disgusting.
-skippyskippy
CaptainZeke 04-27-2006, 08:09 PM Guys... this is really old lol.
-skippyskippy
See? We like to be fashionably late... LOL. :)
Well, I had no idea it was here until it popped up on the recent threads list... O_o Really slow here... :D
trainz 04-27-2006, 11:36 PM VMK can't take out the BF and GF stuff since it is G rated till the R rated stuff comes in then they bannd but mainly i have noticed if you tell ppl you are taken to the not taken thing they leave you alone lol
boy this is old but they never bannd when it happened on here thats odd
BlueReap 04-27-2006, 11:39 PM yay finally
AstroDawg 04-28-2006, 12:49 AM Excellent News!! :D
LilLuekas 04-28-2006, 12:57 AM Omg thank you! That was soooooooooo annoying!
Spacepiratejosh 04-28-2006, 01:05 AM 1st step completed, now for the big step of banning it on vmk too.
RubyRubia 05-07-2006, 10:43 PM This is sort of late, but for some reason I liked seeing that talk....... I liked seeing the opinions.... But I agree that it did lead to non-G rated things.
Ok, I know I'm crazy.
Domothehut 05-08-2006, 03:27 AM Yes I think that as Members of VMK and VMK Forums we need to not worry about VMK Staff people and the way ppl act on vmk i also think that its important to not always look down on others some might just do certain things for fun but im glad this has been Posted Thanks Lots Zman
FinnDisney 05-09-2006, 12:11 AM One down....now only the actual game to go....
AlphaBender 05-10-2006, 12:32 PM WOW,Cant ppl just have fun?I guess there cant be Mickey & Minnie on the game.After all are they not taken?
fantasyphillip 05-10-2006, 12:37 PM yes i knoiw the vmkf mods will make this a better place for all of us
Tyrannosaurus 05-30-2006, 02:57 AM Diss There Ppl that do taken!! yes Muahaha! by the way im mr.blackmr.black on vmk yay.ty mods (even tho i got in trouble by them for fifteen thousand posting lol)
DegrassiGirl 06-05-2006, 03:20 PM Thanks zman i hated all that bf/gf talk
longsaber1 06-05-2006, 05:32 PM Thanks i really dont belive in thebf\gf thing.
Guest_sora 06-05-2006, 05:55 PM its like why would you want a b/f or g/f when you dont even see them in real life or you cant give them a gift to make them happy. I really dislike the taken thing on VMK and anywhere in other games.
WCPagentGirl 06-13-2006, 09:48 PM That is dumb I think it is G rated because you cant do anything you cant have interferences so go head geese
PinkTinkPixie 06-13-2006, 09:59 PM What's the point in the whole dating thing on VMK anyway? You'll never see them in real life, and besides, would you go up to some random person on the street in real life and ask them to go out with you? No.

~twinklebyte~ 06-13-2006, 10:01 PM Thank you all VMK Forum moderators for doing this! :)

BlueReap 06-14-2006, 12:17 AM Im so glad, 1 site that doesnt allow bf/gf :D
thecatgirlforever 06-26-2006, 05:55 PM Thank you, VMK Admin, you have relieved an enormous and ongoing headache by doing this. ^^
HicksTricks 06-26-2006, 05:59 PM :pirate: Finally no more of that talk now all we need to do is have vmk do the same thing :pirate:
~ForeverWaltDisney~ 06-26-2006, 06:00 PM That is dumb I think it is G rated because you cant do anything you cant have interferences so go head geese
It's because of people like you that vmk is filled with this bf/gf/ nonsense!
I think this is such a great idea :D vmk should also banned this...
AstroDawg 06-26-2006, 06:23 PM Horray!!! :d
darthmatt 06-26-2006, 09:03 PM That is dumb I think it is G rated because you cant do anything you cant have interferences so go head geese
Bf/Gf would at least be PG. And to remind you this is a G-Rated site.
MissMandrin 06-30-2006, 09:33 PM Thank you for doing this vmkf!
GoldenHope 07-10-2006, 02:14 AM thanks a bunch!
purplehusky 07-10-2006, 03:04 AM when i saw the title to the thread i thought, "Ohh finally vmk has got some sense about that subject." But then it is only vmkf:P i wish i what vmk tho
Tanimalcrossing 12-30-2006, 01:09 PM One word-YAY1111
bowlofcereal 12-30-2006, 01:34 PM One word-YAY1111
Although an interesting comment it was a good bump as I have never taken a look at the rules for the site and just looked at them for the first time after being here for over 6 months or so. Thanks and yes things dealing with relationships is not an item for a game.
Munman 01-02-2007, 04:39 AM Thanks zman!! I really needed to hear that someone understands and took action!
daizyduke 01-21-2007, 04:10 AM Yay! Thank you, zman and SillyPrincess!
(Now I wish it won't happen in VMK.. Ugh.)
Cmkrebs 01-21-2007, 04:24 AM thank you and i dont think vmk should have it in the first place
Twisty 01-21-2007, 01:56 PM Yes. Most of that talk was extremely Non-G-Rated. I saw a lot of it in the Rants forum, too. If you don't like it, why post about it. :)
