| Not to mention it could go the other way as well. Im not a parent but if I had a 13 year old on here Id be much happier if their interactions with adult strangers was limited |
| Charlie's Stable |
| I think it would mainly just be the chat side that would be affected. They could still interact with all the horses. And PM as long as the account is accepting PM from any age group. |
| Thornwood Manor |
| I watch chat between calls at work. It's so much better than traffic stops and alarm calls |
| Minerva |
| There would definitely be kinks for someone much clever than me to work out. But I think it could be a nice compromise to let kids still enjoy the game without putting people off that aren't as tolerant to them |

| From the system side of things - would it update once a day to add new accounts to the If Yes Than It would definitely be a very different game - It would almost run like two different playing fields. If 'Adults' had the LeaderBoards and blocked the Young Players from interacting with their horses - it could effectively stifle game play for a generation interesting concept for sure |
| Tanglewood |
| Ash but what if I DO have an Olympic showjumper named Steve what then |
| Ashcroft Park Stud |
| Yeah, same - I’d feel harsh blocking loads of younger people (who are just being young, so fair enough - I just don’t want to interact with younger people) so I don’t bother. Plus it’s weird to me that people can see who’s blocked them 😅 |
| Kiwi Mountains |
| Naw, I'm on a monitoring job so we've got hours of downtime so I've spent the last hour or so watching free Willy lol. I forget everything this movie did for the orca, Keiko 😭 |
| Minerva |
| Boulder- I go on lunch in an hour so Ill type something up 😊 It would definitely improve my QOL and if theres a choice then there would be plenty of players who arent that fussed who won't bother with it |
| Minerva |
| Exactly Ash. Plus if we could just choose a "blanket block" option it would feel less personally hurtful to the kids themselves? If I go around blocking anyone who annoys me they can clearly see I got irritated by them. If Im an account that clearly has all under 18s (or maybe under 16s so its in line with the previous age limit?) blocked through the game itself its not about the individual people. |

| Min - looks like you would get a lot of traction if you also posted in the Suggestions forum. Who's responsibility is it for player interaction? The Game or the Players? - Should we be heavier handed with the Block button? |
| Ashcroft Park Stud |
| It’s generally obvious yeah, but still annoying when they’re causing chaos or lying about their latest rescued foal or imported Olympic showjumper called Steve |
| Mustang Willows |
| True. I have had some issues with younger people trying some dum things on the chat. Therefore they should get a separate chat |
| Varina |
| I feel it's pretty easy to see who's younger through how they actually message on here. Would love a separate chat so younger people can enjoy the game too!! The idea of three separate chat's sounds good in theory but I just don't think we have enough people to warrant it on HEE |
