Kidzworld.com

I've been with Kidzworld for about... 5 years. Always followed the rules except for a few slips or misspells that were censored to look like swearing. But that's not the point. After reading many comments about the site, I have to agree and disagree at the same time. While it definitely isn't the best place to chat (there are a lot of bad people {it's a collection of people from all over the world} and you'll find them here, too) but the moderators do a good job of kicking and blocking the clearly evil apples... But there's a catch - Moderators wield absolute power. From personal experience, and I'm a pretty neutral guy, they will continuously claim to be unbiased and not let their feelings get in the way, but if you've had any run-in with them, they are perfect little tyrants. "Absolute power corrupts" and they are arrogant about it, too.

FYI, don't get into any conversations that involve politics or religion, no matter how nice and friendly you are with people you are close with (friendly debates, actual and honest fun to discuss), and the moderators will keep you... politically correct. I got booted for three hours after disagreeing with homosexuality with a pal of mine.

I was also permanently locked out of my account when a mod (MischiefManaged) and I got into a quarrel over free speech and Kidzworld forum rules (I keep to them) and at random she claimed my name "Tom19" reflected my age (you can't be over 18) and I was then called a pedophile, following my account boot.

Note: She had clearly seen and spoken with me in succession for 5 years prior to boot, and you can't change your username. We had a good relationship at the time. The claim that I was 19 and stalking children was a terrible accusation. You can check out my facebook if you don't believe me xD (Tom Cochran)

Of course, these are simply my experiences. I trust others will have different experiences, and I suggest you go for it - There are of course bad times, but there will be good, and those will be worth it.

Good luck, and have fun :)

In case some people don't realise this website is very dangerous, people can say there are someone but the appear to be someone eles,,, how dangerous is that, I'm sure not parent would want that for their kids, many people find someone attractive on this social media site and could agree to meet up... turns out that guy or girl is a much older person, this website is dangerous, I'm sure many parents and even police can agree with, don't persuade your children to engage to this website.

I have had my kids on this website for several years, and can confirm this is a safe website. I think the negative reviews are from kids that broke the rules repeatedly and got booted off. Sour grapes.

This site is not good for socializing with other kids. It claims heavy moderation in the chat, etc... but there is a heavy lack of moderation. First, you do not need to verify your email address to participate in socializing. Kids begin their catfish style social life (pretending they are someone else) with a heavy access on the emo meter. Who knows what kind of creepy predators could be hanging out there. When my daughter was on there chatting with several other so called friends, who gave each other passwords, names, real ID's and pics. They then began skyping each other, using other non-moderated chat rooms, etc. There were a bunch of them on there, threatening to commit suicide or cut themselves if they didn't have her as a friend. It is apparently a hangout for very lonely kids with emotional problems. I can't even tell you how many comments I read where people were talking about cutting. I got into her account thanks to parental control software and changed her email (was using a bogus one) and her password. I reported several of the cutting, suicidal style comments and messages and requested her account be closed. Nothing happened, there was no reply to my emails. Her account was not closed and I found no way to close it. I send an email to their CEO - what a joke. I told him I was a parent and concerned about the lack of moderation, how the kids were talking to each other, etc... He emailed me back and all it said was "shame on you". Very very bad site for kids. What kind of response is that from a CEO?. It makes me wonder what kind of person he is. Stay away from Kidzworld!

The website, Kidzworld has a lot of catfish. Besides the general public creating fake users, the moderators actually create them too, and interact with other people who are NOT fake. They create usernames that are weird-looking, suspicious, and not to be trusted. Sometimes, there can be only one word in the username. Also, they have similar meanings and/or have something to do with each other. Believe it or not when you put all the usernames together, they create a sentence. The usernames are always from the same state, especially California and provide the same age, mostly 15. When the fake users are created, they online date with each other, add each other, have similar backgrounds/profiles. Most of the times, when User A comes online, and then signs off, User B comes online. Of course, User B is friends with User A. When a real user is friends with a fake user, that fake user talks different every other day. In addition with that, they even talk similar, like the other fakes. The pictures that are used for the fake users are Photoshopped. If you zoom a picture in, you can see stray, suspicious marks on the upper parts of their body, especially on the face. On top of that, the pictures dont even match the others. Sometimes, a picture can even have crossed outs, like a marker, as if that fake user is hiding something. The ORIGINIAL pictures that ARE NOT Photoshopped, are actually from social media, such as Facebook and Twitter. Its very funny how Kidzworld has their own app, but yet they can use another social media app to talk to users who are not fake. That alone shows an invasion of privacy. The Kidzworld Manager, Jordan is very rude and not professional. When a real user reports a fake user, she (Jordan) doesn't even reply nor do anything about it. This shows that she knows about these fake users, because she's one of the people who are creating them. During the same time period, when a real user reports that fake user, sometimes, that fake user even changes his/her state. In general, if a user wants to change their state, they have to contact a moderator. So, why would that user change their state right after when someone reports that same user? This is too coincidental and very, very suspicious. On top of that, when Kidzworld gets his/her report, that fake user stops coming online. For example, he/she dont be online for a month, even longer. As they stop, another fake user is created. It is ironic how the new fake user has a name that shows that they are frustrated for the reports they received about the other fake users. For example, a username is -ugh. Bottom line, Kidzworld needs to be shut down. It's very bad, not to be trusted, and fake. It gets to the point where they don't even commit to their own mission statement. A testament to this is a username that is inhumane. There should be a much better website than Kidzworld. Here is a list of SOME users that I have personally verified: Twxsted, -trapp, mackjvsus, -xobriana, ZaeGee, downfall, carlosssssss, ygm0b, -LILBIT-, ch0nxc, annoyed, mamijeni, ISTUNT. Note: Ironically, they are ALL the SAME PERSON.
