how is it hyprocitical to allow 19 and not a 13 year old to do something, ie, go strip infront of a stranger, because the 19 yr old gets raped, and noting happens to the 13, because the 13 didn't go further than she should have??

what i mean is, that if by doing the dare [both, the 19 and 13 year old] and the 19 year old gets raped and the 13 year old doesn't, doesn't necassarily mean the 19 year old went further.

To be raped, the 19 year old, would have had no intention on going "further than she should have."

In all honesty, the 19 year old would be more likely to be raped than the 13 year old, because of her age. At 19, or looking around that age, the rapist would be able to guess that she is legal, while being 13, the rapist wouldn't attempt, because he's not a pedofile [not saying that this doesn't happen to anyone under 19].

If im still not clear, both the 19 and 13 year old did the exact same thing, how did the 19 year old go to far, while the 13 year old didn't?

I was merely suggesting that a 19 year old may decide to, say, give someone a hand job in an alley in the back a building. The 13 year old wouldn't be so stupid, and thus avoid going somewhere secluded where she couldn't call for help as easily.
It's hypocritical as you're trying to protect those who YOU deem can't protect themselves, when most of the "adults" are the ones you should worry about, not the "kids".

But it is perfectly alright for someone who is over 18 to have a normal conversation with a 13 year old (I think thats on topic).

People get hurt because they're stupid enough to get hurt. It's that simple. It has nothing to do with the age of their bodies.

WTF? So someone who gets raped is stupid? What about someone who is walking down the street at night and gets stabbed or shot, are they stupid aswell?
You're applying something that is true in a minority of situations to every situation. Someone doing something stupid might get hurt, but people don't get hurt just because they are stupid.
The point of this thread (IMHO) was to suggest that maybe more could be done to protect the younger users of this site from sexual predators and paedophiles, if you don't agree that it's something that should be taken seriously and that we should just let these things occur and whatever happens is down to each individual's stupidity(to use your premise), then I'm sorry, but I for one don't agree.

No, I was again pointing out that older women are more likely to go farther with someone, and thus more likely to get raped.

If someone shows their body to someone else, it's their choice. Age doesn't come into it at all. It's a personal choice.

How far someone is likely to go with someone doesn't affect how likely they are to get raped. Rape is non consensual so what they are prepared to do isn't a factor.

If you go into an alleyway with someone to give a handjob as part of the dare, and because you went there you got raped, it makes you more likely, don't you think?

I'm stupid (sometimes more so for medical reasoons o.0) but I've survived so far xD

If you say. . .
no pics (a good thing about the site rules) in limits
don't do sexual public dares
no personal details (tele# address)
then you should be ok

Its only when others are involved or can steal pics and show them to others that theres a problem. With that it doesn't matter how old you/they are, if someones going to try + take advantage they will still try.
Old people might think I'm to clever for them to trick me! bwahaha but come home drunk + see how smart you are then

See THIS is the kinda thing I was getting at. XD

I know the post was made a while ago, but wth noteworthy?
Though I have to say, there are particular minors I've seen on here who really don't seem to understand than not everywhere is safe, and also that a lot of the stuff they get up to over the internet and in real life is illegal.
I don't think making those under a certain age, unable to view parts of the site is particularly fair, because a lot of the minors are mentally very mature. I'm not saying that they can then do whatever crazy dares, or expose themselves or anything else, but they shouldn't be kept from going around the site.
Those who ask for dares aren't forced to do the dares, if you didn't allow for them to find dares on here, where they can be monitored by the moderators and whoever else, it could end up with them doing something worse. For example if a girl was dared to do a dare that could end up being very dangerous for her, the mods, or someone else could easily send her a PM maybe notifying her of how dangerous it would be for her to involve herself in the dare, which would hopefully get her to think twice.
I have to admit, I've done some dares which most would definitely say were innapropriate for my age, and some I do regret, but I know now I have common sense, and I'm not planning to do anything that could get me into any serious trouble, or someone else for that matter.
And I think the mods do a great job, and they can't be expected to stop every minor doing things in there own home, or out of it, when these are things they would do without this site or anything else. I think a lot of the minors are safe enough, and if anything needs to be done, it should also have something to do with those "dodgy" older members perving on the younger members.
I'm bored now, so no more typing (:

[AlwaysAbbi]

I don't think anything more can be done you cant protect kids from the internet mods do their job here but no matter what these kids could go somewhere else and it looks like some of them are pretty naive. That is something their parents need to deal with.

[Rachie]

I agree that a lot of the minors can be very mature however i see so many minors (under 18s) have on there profile likes / interested in - Being a slave / Being a Master.

Could getdare make it so that if someone under 18 selects this a pop up appears telling then it is against the getdare rules etc. Therefore if they later go against this and still ask to be a slave etc you have good reason for banning that individual. I have several times pvt messaged minors warning then of errors when they are new to getdare, and usually have been recieved with thanks.

I have a story in rated 18 section and was unaware of the rules for minors to enter / post in this section, i asked bettyboop who gave me useful advice saying that it is only an area for explict material and anyone can enter / post and the name is mainly a warning. If this is the case when an under 18 year old enters one of these stories could a pop up appear warning them of the content. Again covering back, it can sometimes be so easy to read a story and not fully realise what it is going to contain - or the rating if not looking for this.

Kids should never be here. Wrong world. 16 plus only.

[dragonator]

16 here is a minor, and i have to disagree with u paradino, kids play this game here in the us and give eachother these kinds of dares, so why does it matter if they do it online too?

^ Agreed. Some of the games I played when I was younger got pretty "intense" you could say. And were almost never even PG-13 rated or below soooo... My opinion is that as long as they do it with someone their own age or online with someone WITHOUT picture/cam exchanges, it shouldn't be a problem.
