Man arrested for soliciting minor on IMVU

[WingedZephyr]

I don't think you can hide it entirely, but you could always hide your "About Me" panel on your homepage. That would work. Then if you don't chat, you don't have to worry about it showing up on the online list either.

[dragnmastralex]

well there are always ways of telling with IMVU even if you don't chat people can still find you by looking at others on your friends list the friends page pops up with the number of chats, your age, and your rank so no matter how you try to hide it unless you just don't use IMVU altogether there is no way to completely block it.

altho if perverts try hard enough they can get any info they want there is only one way to stop them and thats the cop method.

Unless of course you put a different age and location on your profile...in other words LIE...Say your old and ugly and people tend to leave you alone...for the most part.  :snicker:

 ???But the main thing that I question is the fact that these characters on IMVU are basically cartoons ...how could anyone find that erotic??? I'm sorry, but maybe I'm the freak for thinking like this...I personally find very little arousal from a half naked male avvie knowing full well that the kid behind it is still a snot nose lil brat looking to talk big...

 arf IMVU is just an adult verison to playing with those paper dress up dolls from the 70's and 80's! (there I go aging myself again :yeah-yeah:)

You can edit your information in your account page.
If you don't want people finding you in the search feature you can remove yourself from that as well.

how could anyone find that erotic?

The same way they find plain text erotic. That's why there are so many trashy romance novles out there.

[PurestSeraphim]

u know this world is just plain wrong some times... omg

[FoxyMcCloud]

Thats why I try to ignore the world! It helps me with other things!  

[dragnmastralex]

yeah you could lie but lying is against IMVU's TOS and according to that they have the right to terminate your account and block your IP address. Kinda backwards huh, instead of blocking the sex offender block the jail bait.

And it's quite the same thing as hentai. People still find that... er... "interesting."  :umm:

see the truth of the matter is that people in the real world have unreal fantasies about how they want there sex lives to be and couldn't possibly live up to it...actually thinking futher on this, it's just that some people are just sick in the head. Like them  grr *BEEP*SENSOR*BEEP* freaks who are into kiddy p*rn...their just wrong...mentally... >

[BethanieStealsCheese]

Yes, they are very psychologically twisted. The sick part? They actually believe it's good for the children. Yeah, I've had discussions with people who are/and support it. It's absolutely rediculous, it has never been okay, it will never be okay. Our society has really gotta stop this "whatever is right/true for you" B.S.. That's the most ignorant and thick headed thing you could say. People who murder, people who abuse children.. and especially the pedophile community say "it's right for me, I see nothing wrong with it, so accept it".

To quote something I read the other day: "The stupid ridicule right and wrong, but a moral life is favored."

To me, that means.. let's stop being "politically correct", stop saying that we have to accept what a person believes is true for them, even if it's harmful or destructive.. and just live moral lives. To heck with all of this tolerance-to-the-extreme, and I say let's just live moral lives.  =s

[WovenSky]

omg! A friend of mine irl who has a friend irl who has imvu talked to the guy! I told her about it seeing that she has imvu and she asked what his name is and then told me her friend talked to a guy with the same name. He asked her where she lived and she left, but to think that he was this close to geting my friend

I so agree with you there!!!!!

=s Many, many moons ago, while I was still a kitten in highschool...we had a class where we discussed such topics as pro life, death penalty, homosexuality etc. (you get the piccy) (I'm not bible thumping here...just read on) I brought up an issue with the bible, and said that God made the 10  commandments for a reason and that perhaps modern day people ought to take a second look at them. A girl in my class gave this rebutal..."the bible is only a book of morals and not needed for todays world". *what's wrong with morals?*

Well the truth is this,today, morals are no longer even close to what they use to be. I suggest to everyone that perhaps a second look at the 10 commandments might just enlighten them enough to a new perspective on living.

Examples.

Thou shalt not kill. ÂÂ
If you sturggle with this on a daily basis, then please  do us all a favour and check yourself into the physc ward ASAP.

for the "if it feels good do it crowd"

Thou shalt not covet they neighbours wife or possessions (paraphrased)

that in itself is pretty much self explanatory...

This world is in a feel good state. It needs to go back to a MORAL state.

Many area parents have expressed sincere concern regarding the chat room as it enables children as young as 11 to create a three-dimensional character using different

Looks like 9News did not read the rules of IMVU.
You must be 13 to join IMVU.
