Avakin Jail suggestion

"Only accessible by doing something wrong." ?? This wouldn't be something that players would want to access... It's jail. It's not like people would intentionally start breaking the rules JUST so they can go to jail. Also, this wouldn't even apply to more serious violations such as, sexual predators targeting minors, as I assume those behaviors already result in immediate termination without warning. My suggestion is based on the exact same concept used in real life because I believe the results would be similar... Jail being an unpleasant experience that people will try to avoid. In order to avoid it, they're expected to be decent and respectful members of society. And just like the real world, jail time as punishment won't stop everyone from behaving badly. Unfortunately, that's just the way it is and always will be. It's not something that can be prevented, but it's something that can definitely be reduced. Im just suggesting a silly little jail idea for people being punished for things like, swearing, or being disrespectful in public servers... The topic you're bringing up here is on a COMPLETELY different level. You're talking about kids, and their safety being compromised. You're talking about pedophiles using this game to communicate with minors. Having or not having a jail would have no affect on that, and that is also a topic that I have strong feelings about, and have brought up multiple times on here. From what I've seen in the game, I would estimate that at least half of their players are regularly using it for sexaul gratification. It doesn't matter how strict their chat censor gets, people will always find ways to get around it. Why? Because that behavior is to be expected in a game that features life-like characters with the body parts of fully developed adult humans, skimpy thong bikinis, pasties, sexually explicit poses/dances/actions, adult themed scenes, like bars and clubs where they're even encouraged to work behind a bar to earn coins.... I can go on and on, but my point is, this game has these issues because they are providing players with adult content, while claiming teens as a target audience, but enforcing rules that seem to be intended for children. Most parents probably wouldn't ever allow their kids to play this game if they knew that their 13-year olds could customize their characters to wear tattoos, heavy makeup, lingerie, thong bikinis, or body paint, with the ability to enter a bar/club where they can show off the character they've created, while twerking and humping the air in front of thousands of other players that vary from ages 13 and up. There are players over 60years old in this game, and there's nothing wrong with that. The only thing wrong, is the target audience that Lockwood is advertising. It makes the game appear to be a harmless social app for teens. If it was labeled as Mature17+, parents would at least be able to determine whether or not the game is suitable for their kid, which most would find that it is not. I've given up on trying bring this to Lockwood's attention, because they've made it pretty clear that money is their top priority. It wont stay that way forever though. They'll either go completely downhill, or they'll make the right changes. It's bound to happen, eventually.
