I have been working web chat rooms since 1998, at Nothing fancy. The application was freely available. I simply had to produce some important modifications: putting poor word filters and automated 'stopping' (ejection from the areas).
You think until you read what private, nasty teenagers say to fifteen-year-old girls, free speech is an excellent thing. It is perhaps not Shakespeare, allow me to tell you...
My answer would be: yes, with skills.
I have been running internet forums since 1998, at Nothing fancy. The program was readily available. I simply had to produce some important modifications: adding poor word filters and automated 'stopping' (ejection from the rooms).
You think until you read what private, malevolent teenagers tell fifteen-year-old girls, free speech is a good thing. It is perhaps not Shakespeare, i'd like to tell you that.
That is still another critical point: anonymity. A pillar of the free speech debate. The repressed people and let freedom fighters have their say! Except it is more likely a sociopath pretending to be sixteen and making young girls cry with his sickening profanity.
Free from all mors, and safe from physical retribution, we start to see the contents of the subconscious serve forth unrestrained. And a hellish stream of psychic sewage it is.
This is often combated by bad word filters and having individual moderators. The most crucial guard of, I think, is education. "Do not just take candy from strangers", "You do not need drugs until you are ill", and now: "Do not bandy words with trolls" (individuals who intentionally upset other internet users with provocative language).
Most forums will have an 'ignore' purpose. It's a little like the hooligan in the street: he's *looking* for a reaction; if he is ignored by you, it is infuriating. To him. You glide on by, figuratively talking, while he rants on unheard.
Parents must just take a pursuit in what their children are doing on the web. See if you can find out what service they've joined, and join up yourself; obtain a taste of it. Youngsters define themselves as adults-to-be by if you're careful choosing a different road to their parents:, they will attempt liberalism, and vice-versa.
Thus, you should not attempt to participate in with their activities as an equal; only keep informed.
They might gripe, but secretly they are glad you care. A parent who allows their child do what they want offers no standard to them to measure themselves against.
Another problem with simple boards is that you can create an intense relationship with some one you can not see and have not met in the flesh; there is a fantasy element. Your thoughts pour forth freely, you believe you have met a true love. They may be even met by you, and the illusion remains...
... She or he is really a person all things considered before you eventually know, and breaks wind like everyone else.
There's hope, however. With the development of internet telephony, low priced digital video cameras and broadband, people will soon be less able to hide: "What do you mean, you're afraid? You were not shy a moment ago!" .. Old-fashioned, wise prejudices can assert themselves: "Soooo, 'Zorro' from Cambridge is truly fat, spotty Darren from Dartford... next!" .. eap digital video cameras, internet telephone and broadband, people will soon be less able to hide: "What do you mean, you are shy?
