Forums General Discussion Rules Governing the use of the Mirc chat client

Interesting responses, but typical. I will explain however. If you watch the news you will see stories of children being preyed upon by pedophiles finding them on line. You will find stories of children being abducted, raped, killed. High horse? No, because I was a victim of that as were two of my nieces. Why am I now doing something about it? Because I, like the rest of you, utilize a chat room to spend some time and have some fun. Unfortunately, it was brought to light that certain members of this community are engaging in age play and posting child pornography. Why is this a problem? Well pick up a psychology book and you might find the education you seek there. Allowing this opens the doors for pedophiles to step through. Ask yourself this simple question: Would you want your son or daughter abducted by someone and forced into perfoming sexual acts? I doubt your answer would be yes and if it was, then you need to seek some proffessional help. I am a father and I have suffered through being molested at a young age. Now I have the chance to shut another door for those people who thrive on doing this to children. If you see that as a problem, I could care less. I am not doing this alone and while I have gotten the same response from a few, the majority of chat sites want to solve this problem and are interested as to what I propose.

No, microsoft shouldnt be sued for creating a software that can access illegal sites, but there are checks and balances present on the internet that arent present on Mirc. Would it be so very hard to put these checks and balances into place? No, actually it wouldnt.

If a person standing on US soil is engaged in acts of pedophilia, then they can and should be charged. The narrow mindedness of your responses astounds me and leads me to believe that you simply dont care that this is taking place and that it effects our children. Perhaps if it happened to one of yours you would be standing beside me and not against me. As I said before, I can go through other channels to seek the information I desire and I already have. The FBI has a unit designed just for such a thing and they have been more than helpful thus far. Have a good day.
