Answers to Questions

Hi Everyone, and thanks for a lot of great feedback.

Public Album
As Duss and others comment, we will allow chatters to have a public album.
Actually they can even put restrictions on their albums like this:

Who can view this Album ?
  [ ] Everyone
  [ ] Only people on my buddylist
  [ ] Only people on my favoritelist
  [ ] Only prople limited by Age
      Age from [___] to [___]
  [ ] Only prople limited by Gender
      [_] Males or [_] Females


Screening of all Photos

All photos will go by the navigators for screening.
Profile and PhotoChat photos are always visible for everyone will not be shown before they are approved.

All other photos will be shown but like Tigg_27 said we will make it very easy for the navis or porn patrol to screen even huge amounts of photos very fast using a single click photo-list system.

So no photo will remain on the chat for long unless a navi has screened it.
(and the chatters have their "Abuse" button if they find bad pics that a navi missed.

And yes to Dj-Slim, we will restrict the navis who are allowed to screen photos. This can be done with the new Navigator Work-Group system, but more about that later.


The age of people

Sure we can never make sure that people are the age they say they are, but we can put on some restrictions that will make it very hard for people to cheat with their age.


One of those things is called the IRL GURANTEE.



This is a indicator of how sure we are that this person is real.
This is how we calculate it:

• All Chatters start at 0% IRL
• You gain 10% if you validate your email. (we send you a link that you must click)
• You gain 10% if you upload a profile photo of yourself and its approved by a navi
• You gain 20% if 5 or more chatters vouch that they know you for real
• You gain 25% if you upload a photo with you holding a slip of paper with your chat name on it
• You gain 25% if you validate your phone number (type in your number and enter the code we send you on SMS)
• And you gain the last 10% if you attend one of our chat parties :-)

So in order to become 100% IRL you need to be a very well known person, and for these persons (if they are adults) we could allow them a little more freedom in their private photoalbums.

And should a 90% IRL person abuse his rights, then it will take us 2 seconds to ban him and it will take him weeks to become 90% IRL again if ever.
