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 :)
