Underage Users in Adult Public Chat Rooms

How do all these kids get in here?

There's been some discussion, debate and confusion over underage users in "Over 18" public chat rooms. I asked my young niece to open an account so that we could validate what we assumed to be correct. There is one room in particular that has been brought to my attention, so that particular room will be the center of focus for this post. These are the facts.

Point 1: Underage users do not see "Over 18" public chat rooms in chat room search results, and "Over 18" users do not see underage public chat rooms in a chat room search result.

Point 2: Underage users must either follow a friend into an "Over 18" public chat room or be directly invited into it.

Point 3: Underage users do not see "Over 18" users in a people search. And "Over 18" users do not see underage users.

Point 4: There isn't any issue, in IMVU's opinion, if an adult user (over 18) doesn't report his or her age correctly as long as his or her age is over 18 in their profile.

Point 5: There IS, however, a major issue in IMVU's opinion if an underage user signs up with an "Over 18" age for his or her account.

FINALLY, All underage/under 18  users MUST show their age on their profile popup card. There is no option their to hide their age.





I have screenies to show you how we went about validating this information:

A underage account search for an Adult (over 18) user shows no rooms.
This adult user has one public room.


This shows the search for an underage room with the underage account.
I've blocked out a portion of the ids of the underage users for their privacy and security.


Searched for the same underage account from within the adult account. 


No adult ages will be in the age field for a people search on an underage account.


No under 18 choices will be in the age field for a "People Search" on an adult account.


From a forum post, straight from the horse's mouth.
