Free Users cen-sored

[Brandybee]

The recent changes in Achat have included Free Users being cen-sored.

Free Users can no longer see cocks, pussies and no panties on profiles or when in a room.  This also occurs in sex.

The hips to the upper thighs are pixelated and blurred.

Underneath,  just above the “speed bar”  & “Hide Room”  and  big  red letters  ” Cen-sored for freeusers”  and underneath that in white letters        ” Click here to upgrade and remove censorship”

The amusing thing is,  a freeuser can still see all the cock & pussy pics, real and avatar in the search engine.

I can only presume this is to discourage  any under – age  users.

I don't agree with this  decision  to banned  free users. I  have  a solution on how they can improve
this but it will take me a few days to think the plane out how it will work out but it  is not  just with this to make it work
there  will be other area that need to be  change as well  . I encourage other members to input
some of there solutions or ideas  they say  brainstorming  works best to come to a solution  where it will work for all

I realize that this doesn't affect me directly. However, as a paying user, I think that it is outrageous that major changes like this are made without informing users beforehand, let alone at the time. It just demonstrates how little relevance users and this forum have to the developers.

A warning pop up appears as you bring up the Achat Home web page.

“Achat.    Explicit Adult Content.    You must be 18 or over to enter this site.”
It shows two female avatars provocatively dressed with see-through clothing on. Breasts and a bald mons can be seen.

The “Introducing and Marketing” video has not been cen-sored in the same way and shows intimate avatar body parts, full sex and ejaculation.
Surely it would be easier to transfer the warning pop up to the game instead of this useless censorship that has just appeared overnight.

It will drive potential new members away and spoils the limited play for free users who are unable to pay due to restrictions imposed where they live or personal circumstance.

I will be the devils advocate here… this is change is in line with what other sites which censor what a non-premium can access and view. We may just be seeing the initial modifications to conform to universal practiced standards.

One site in particular requires evidence of age verification besides before allowing a costumer to upgrade to premium status.

Underage play has always been a problem and stricter international laws in containing their access is a strong motivator.

[Peeka]

As bear, I would say it could be a good discouraging protection against under age users, and we couldn't blame Achat for trying to protect itself towards the law.

But most of all I see it as a way to “force”, encourage free members to get premium  access. $$$ rules the world! 

the good point is:
It will discourage the pure “pervs” and free ones using the “worst pick up lines” like “fuck? cock in your ass? etc…”
The frees will have to use more words than just picture to have and give pleasure and want to stay free. So it could be a nice way to get rid of the jerk(er)s. And maybe give the frees a chance to not get ignored as much as they were before.

If they really made this only for underage protection, what worries me most is : what will happen when my subscription ends? I would think it unfair to get blurred after 1-2-3… more years of subscription proving I am not too young.

The most disappointing in all this is the lack of information provided about any update by the devs. They should warn us before any update and provide clues about what will happen. I see there is a topic onthis forum where they sometimes did. Why don't they continue to do this???  ???

ps: funny how the word “under age” without space gets replaced by “young” here lol

@Peeka as to update notifications:  That is a very valid suggestion. One site I know of and have played at does a very nice job of notifying users during the update process (sometimes too much) as to changes and modifications to the program. At the very least a locked thread in the forum announcing the update changes would be appreciated.

One forum I visit and read actually flags suggestions which are being considered and further identifies suggestions which are under development. I did have to laugh when after 2 weeks people were complaining of the delay in release of the idea.

Hello,

I like:
The new gifting system
now I can make gifts for everyone 

I don't like:
– Short info 1
– Short info 2: before here you had country, now nothing about the country or language prefered ! and of course the new users don't indicate their country
If you write “FRANCE” that work in the search game, if you write “FRANCE, grosses bises…” that don't work

For the censoring free users I like and I don't like:
I've friends since more 2 years free users and for personnal reasons can't be premium so now they can't play with me
Less shitting and assholes free users

The most important too is: why have they removed the chatlog ?  :

“I Believe that Achat is changing a lot  for safety Reason

who knows there is so many sick people on the net trying to find

your location  I think this is why they did it. I like it this way
it lets me tell only the ones  I truse where I am at
having been stalked  online one time  I understand this as safety precautions.

I had add my suggestions 
In  Re: New experiences for AChat

I would  like more space to it  maybe letting it scroll down and have  scrolling boxes to add more

I understand fully why Achat  have taken measures to do everything they can to stop under-age users. There is and should be zero tolerance for children to appear in the game.

My point is –  whats the point in pixilating and blurring avatar genitalia when its on view in members pics, some real photos,  and then watching the website advertising video where everything is on view.

If you are going to do it, do it whole hog.  Pixilate the lot & ban cock , pussy and tit pics. 
Then where do you stop, are the porn pics in forum going to be banned?

If the warning pop up is good enough on the website, why is it not good enough in the game?

No one likes under-age, but in the four years I have been here, I found one. I reported him immediately and he was banned or left from my shaming him.
Most members report them immediately.
Others are age play which is easily recognised in general chat.

I do not think the problem is that widespread and I think members and Achat deal with youngsters promptly and effectively when they are discovered.

I think treating free members in this way is far too harsh on its own and could even discourage potential prems.

Maybe another solution could be a three  day  discount,  where potential members provide proof of age and see the game as it could be played and that player getting a red star  trial for the three day membership,  turning to a blue star on signing up for longer.

I just think its a shame for long term free users, through no fault of their own being penalised.

If they really made this only for young protection, what worries me most is : what will happen when my subscription ends? I would think it unfair to get blurred after 1-2-3… more years of subscription proving I am not too young.

Please note: it is enough to pay only ONCE (eg. $9.95), and you'll be never censored more, even if your subscription ends. Also, if you've already paid earlier at least once, you'll be never censored.

Thanks Susy.

I like Brandys idea of ONE 3 days discount. What AChat now really needs is more ways to buy a subscription. Many dont have credit cards and too many prepaid cards dont work. Even bank transfer is not easy for many (imagine a woman, whos guy better doesnt know and vice versa).

[Momma_andrea]

It's all about “Age Verification”, and I approve.

[Stone]

I agree children should not be allowed to  get access to the game  but  I do not think  the  blurred squares are the  answer to this problem. The safeguards should be in place at point of downloading the game.

Free users should be asked to provide  details and emails to join up and download. 

[Anonymous]

Oh, by the way, at the risk of losing them….

…you don't even have to be a free user in order to use tex mode and the animation editor.

Oh my god!! People with no clothes on and you can manipulate them to do rude things. What will we do, it is Sodom and Gomorrah !!!
