I normally wouldn't weigh in on something like this, but today's the day. I struggle with the idea of mods under the age of 18 across the board. Even in the rooms with an upper age limit, the things that moderators are exposed to are dreadful and often illegal. And the thought of an underage moderator moderating a room with 18+ ******** is something I have been vocally against.
I'm all for kids being kids and living their lives outside of chat, but in select situations, circumstances make that unrealistic or otherwise impossible. @Pinky has made Chat Avenue her home, and from what I've heard, General Chat has been nothing but kind and welcoming to her. She's a good kid with a good head on her shoulders, and has proven herself capable of being able to handle difficult situations appropriately. How @Samwise decides to navigate having a 15 year old moderator in General Chat is on him, but if there was ever a time and a place to make an exception, this is it.
@Pinky, my very best to you - on or off chat, modding or not.
Being a moderator sucks. I rather be a car.I am literally up all damn night, and HR is just a knob gobblin by not making a moderator.

Where do you think Santa gets his elves? They don't just fall out of the sky. Toys aren't the only things being made in Santa's workshop.He makes moderators? Like in a workshop? He creates them? I never knew this. 🤔
I wish he’d drop a PS5 on my head! 😂Where do you think Santa gets his elves? They don't just fall out of the sky. Toys aren't the only things being made in Santa's workshop.
I promise I’ll do my best. I’ve learned to be very thick skinned in Kids Chat, and here’s why:
Being smart and reading a lot isn’t a crime, which is the only thing I’ve ever been guilty of. That, and stealing my auntie’s chocolate. Sorry, Tita.
- I’ve seen more adult content in Kids Chat than General Chat. Unfortunately, they want to be seen by as many of us as they can. They have no shame and make no apologies. They’re predators, and that room was (is) filled with them.
- So often a creepy old man would come back and try to blackmail us, telling us they would put our pics on adult sites if we didn’t do as they say. These scum of the earth would then get abusive and nasty with mods for protecting these kids. Some of the death threats and abuse were worse than Gen Chat.
- The fact you guys actually CARE about us means you are good people to be around. A lot of you have kids, grandkids and maybe great grandchildren of your own. I wouldn’t be afraid to go to any of you about a creeper: you’ve got such integrity. So the fact you’re concerned with my age I see as a great thing. You’re the very reason I feel safe in there.
- Some of you may not know that I was the one that helped a lot in getting the resident creepy guy Dural banned. This is something I’m very proud of. I will keep working at removing these kinds of people every day.
- A lot of people think I’m not real or some old person or even have called me a transgender person. I have proved myself as a real person to a number of people on Chat Ave by voice, video, pictures, etc. and even my personal things like my real name and stuff (to very, very trusted people like admins). I don’t ask you to justify yourselves to me, but I have to continually do it over and over.
I still have a lot of insecurities, and I make mistakes a lot and I just try to learn from them. I just try to do my best.
If you really need to know more, ask me. Or come to General Chat and talk to me.

I wish you nothing but the best ☺️. But I do stand by everything I did say earlier with absolutely zero offense intended nor being personal. I just know that if you were my kid (you’re almost young enough to be) I wouldn’t let you moderate a chat room filled with creeps and pedophiles. That’s just me. I hope the adults in that crazy room look out for you because you’re jumping into an adult world whether you realize it or not. It reminds me of what I used to say about BlueEyes in Girls Chat when she was modding young and being abused. She just needs to be a girl. And let the future find its way. Again I wish you the best!I promise I’ll do my best. I’ve learned to be very thick skinned in Kids Chat, and here’s why:

I’m well past that! I’ll get a PS5 lump of coal if I’m lucky! LolBetter start being good and maybe, just maybe, you’ll get one for Christmas 🎅 🎄 😂
Tldr
None of those excuse or makes it okay that you’re now going to be subjected to more of whatever it is you’re trying to justify with the above comment.
Let’s stop normalizing something that shouldn’t be okay here. You have no business moderating a room with adult content in it. Anyone who states otherwise needs to check their priorities.
Regardless of the set age of the room, I’m sorry.
I’ve already seen it she types it all the time.Maybe if you actually read what she said you could understand her position. 🧠 🤦🏻♂️
I’ve already seen it she types it all the time.
Her defense is she’s been approached by creeps and even had to deal with a serious offender herself so that somehow makes it okay for her to be a moderator amongst more of said behavior?
Newsflash: it doesn’t
I’m getting big “is okay with arranged marriages” vibes from a lot of you right now.That’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it 🤷🏻♂️
As you can see by reading this thread we all have varying opinions on it, but the only ones that really matter are Pinky’s and Samwise.
