Now sadly (har har) I was not a member when the gaia personals were up and running.

But I was a member when the new gaia personals were introduced!!

I will always remember the day June 10th 2005 when DARKNRGY announced the release of the new personals

^LINK TO ANNOUNCEMENT^

I remember the flood of "I cyber joo", "Group Orgy Here" & "slutty girls only" rooms.

But I ask... Will I be here for the end of the new gaia personals? Please Lanzer let it be so!

P.S. if you don't know what I am talking about... stare shame shame... I'm talking about the casino d'uh

DISCUSSION:
  • This is not feedback this is discussion and your personal opinion/exerience

  • Are you sick of the cyber rooms?

  • Are you sick of not being able to do anything about it* (footnote)

  • Do you think newbies will see this and think this behavior is okay on gaia?

  • How many IQ points has gaia lost as a whole because of the release of the casino?

  • How bad has it gotten? Has it affected j00 in n y way..... or j00r TyPin' skillz killah? xd


*FOOTNOTE: when I say not being able to do anything about it, I mean that in order to actually report someone you have to A. sit and watch people cyber B.find a TOS breaking offence & take a screen shot... which can take awhile C.hyperlink their profile D. Fill out a feedback report with all this information.
So in summary, it is really not much we can do about it on the scale it's taking place.

They need casino mods.
# Are you sick of the cyber rooms?
Dear god, yes.


# Are you sick of not being able to do anything about it* (footnote)
Mhm. I wish they came out/hope they come up with a "report room."


# Do you think newbies will see this and think this behavior is okay on gaia?
Probably, if they haven't read everything before hand.


# How many IQ points has gaia lost as a whole because of the release of the casino?
Not exactly losing the IQ points of Gaia but being reminded of what most Gaian's have.


# How bad has it gotten? Has it affected j00 and j00r TyPin' skillz killah?
Really bad. nd it haznt ofecked me @ al
If the Casino counts as personals, what about fishing!?
I remember when that first came up, I saw almost the same response.

I am sick of the cyber rooms, because Gaia forums and games, including the Casino (no matter how much impersonal sex is associated with Vegas) is no place for that.
I can't say it bothers me as much aside from having my eyes bleed thanks to some of the less-than-favorable chat titles though.
I HOPE newbies don't see it and think it's ok, even though I know some will... xp
It hasn't really effected me or my typing skills so much, because I make my own chats...all with "Ramen X3" in the title, so that kinda keeps out a lot of the people looking for cybering and the like. 3nodding Especially since there are about 5 chats that could curb their carnal lust to every normal one.

Gaia has lost approximately...79 IQ points since the release of the Casino. 3nodding

stare did you read my entire post dear?!
That's why you make your own room and hide, of course! whee

No, really. I've wandered over to SF a few times, and I have seen screenies of how bad the cybering is. I was around for the original Personals, but I don't know if it was bad that then.

And, reporting is still doing something about it. It just takes a whole lot more work than the normal report button, even if that will be added. XD

I generally do make my own room, but when I go on even the room titles make my stomach turn. Can you imagine being a 14 year old on this site whose parent's see that??? What would they think!

As for reporting. I don't do it, I know I know. I just don't have the time or the stomach to sit through posts and listen to people cyber then do all that work. I'm just lazy Plus it's not my job. This site is supposed to be PG-13. pirate But yeah they are adding a report button? Thank god. Hopefully they'll add mods too. I know Yuzi_K always checks in on the GCD room to make sure were following the rules & stuff when she is in the casino heart
* Are you sick of the cyber rooms?
YES!

* Are you sick of not being able to do anything about it* (footnote)
Yes, I am!

* Do you think newbies will see this and think this behavior is okay on gaia?
Yes, some newbs will go to the casino and see these things, and start thinking it's ok.

* How many IQ points has gaia lost as a whole because of the release of the casino?
100. 3nodding

* How bad has it gotten? Has it affected j00 in n y way..... or j00r TyPin' skillz killah?
Not really.... 3nodding
It's not just the Casino. The Fishing roomsare the same way. I've taken to only Gambling alone or in GCD Regular Rooms.
I love to ruin their fun. If I'm in the mood and I wander into one of the rooms and they get going I'll be all like OMG!! I NEED GOLDZ!!!! and disrupt everything. They can't kick me out they have to go around what I say.

Mwahahahaha, that's going to be my fun tonight!

Yeah, I know~ I've seen titles like that too. And, not even 14 year olds. some of the titles like that I've seen are from people aged 12 or under. Kind of saddening, actually.

And I know it's not like we can expect all users to go in and catch the cybering, since it is their own free time, and Gaia's supposed to be fun. ^^; But there's got to be some cooperation to help make casinos better. Change comes as people take action, not just by realizing that there's a problem, but doing something about the problem if possible.

I was in a Casino thread in SF yesterday or the day before, and I saw something about a report button. Don't take my word on it though. ^^; It was also there that I read that most mods don't have the time to check in on casinos along with all their other duties. ^_~
