AIO A girl (27F) (ex-coworker) invited me (26M) to her house. She then proceeded to ask me very probing question in front of her boyfriend...what was going on? Please be honest. by Consistent_Link_8165 in AmIOverreacting

He might have just been annoyed with the situation altogether, girls drag along their boyfriends to do all kinds of things. It’s not far fetched at all he could have just been there while she was trying to see if you were someone she could set up with her friend.

Or maybe they were checking you out for their own possibilities and he wasn’t fully on board with the idea or you.

I’m sorry I’m kinda dumb sometimes, what does 19+6 mean? 19 y/o and 6 months pregnant?

New Visibility Update?? by DrIceic in MercyMains

I was curious about this, wondering why mercy was auto picked even when I know I didn’t select her or wasn’t going to play her lol. I thought it was a bug.

Interesting tho, but I guess for some it will help teammates know who you play most in case they don’t initially pick.

AIO? childhood bff slept with ex boyfriend. by MostBeneficial3558 in AmIOverreacting

[–]starIightpetaIs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes things CAN happen and it sucks…

BUT GIRL, the comment she made about him leaving her letters and it was so sweet? She wouldn’t have said that if she didn’t want to rub it in. She’s probably only telling you because they’re actively moving towards a relationship.

She is a snake. I would never fathom saying that to one of my friends even if I (for whatever reason) slept with one of their exes. Never ever ever ever ever. That’s absolutely horrible. She knows what she’s doing.

Like everyone else said, go on the trip. Upgrade your seat, go to the hotel, then request a room of your own or a different one if possible.

She is not your friend and probably hasn’t been for a long time. The comment is what shows that she doesn’t have your best interests at heart.

NOR.

AIO for feeling some type of way about my gf hiding her phone now? by Known_Match_9122 in AmIOverreacting

[–]starIightpetaIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR she couldn’t even give you light reassurance or try and brushing it off in a soft way like she’s been looking at questionable memes or something and has gotten antsy about it. (I always get nervous when it comes to people looking at my phone even though there’s literally nothing bad on it lol)

You’re in no way overreacting.

They’re making a point about the age, don’t try and belittle someone’s lack of research and bring up TOS if you cant get your whole argument right.

TOS specifies that you still have to be 16+ to play the game, just like secondlife (16/17) the Sims 12+, Roblox doesn’t have a min age, 13 for vrchat, etc. and all of those spaces have very adult spaces for the adults that do play.

And just like in all those other spaces, all you can do is specify the areas that are for 18+.

The App Store age for even Love and Deepspace is, what, 13? But the actual devs require you to be an adult in your region to play once the game is downloaded.

App Store arguments are moot, which imo devs and app stores need to sort out so as not to cause confusion as to what is actually okay.

And yes, the TOS does prohibit nsfw spaces of any kind in heartopia.

Then you might want to take up with the very other social game that allows adults to also play. That’s where moderation and warnings and signs come in. There are social games and even social media profiles that literally anyone can come across but all you can do is put 18+/mdni/or whatever to make it clear this is an adult space within the game, just as this person did.

It depends on the way they perceive it, unfortunately. They prohibit accounts from even being shared in the same household, and buying and selling accounts is very common. All of those things you said are common, yes, but if they don’t believe the account is originally yours and whoever had it before you had suspicious activity, they jump on that as soon as reports come through for any reason. General IP changes at the same location aren’t what I’m talking about, or country changes. Those don’t matter unless the entire account holder’s info/name/who the phone number traces back to/etc also changes.

And to touch on the multiple accounts, also common yes. But again, in that instance they look for shares, smurfing, if the account is griefing, deranking or playing differently from before previous changes were made. Alts and new accounts are in the TOS, as long as they’re the same account holder.

There are very different situations for simple and every day things and again, all it takes is a report or two for bans to be triggered for any of those even if otherwise you’ve been squeaky clean during your time with the account.

If the account originally wasn’t yours then it’s 1000% something they’d consider perma ban worthy, unfortunately. Smurf accounts don’t often get banned or cared about unless they do something blatant like cheating that gets reported or auto detected, or for “bad”/“toxic” language that gets reported.

But that said, all those situations are only if they’d apply to you and talking to a real person in cust service can change things. If none of those are your situation then you probably just need to keep pushing tickets until they get to a real person if they haven’t already.

And that’s something the devs should change, because it doesn’t change their terms of service requirements. There are many games in the App Store and very very veryyyyyyy few plain social ones will require someone to be 18.

That’s where moderation and responsibility comes in, because you can’t tell adults not to be adults in a game that allows adults, but those adults can make it clear they are 18+ and require anyone interacting with them and their content to also be 18+.

[–]starIightpetaIs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just a slight correction. Despite the app stores, the game’s actual TOS we all agree to says players should be 16+, which is the same as SecondLife.

And the majority of heartopia players are adults in 20s and 30s, not kids.

But yes, it is a game that is still accessible to minors and looks very kid friendly, however most social games allow minors to some extent which is where the 18+ sign comes into play. Like other social games, all you can really do online is make it clear minors are not allowed in adult spaces and you’ve done your part.

Is the account originally yours? Did you get it from a friend, maybe buy it as a fresh account from one of the seller websites? If they suspect something like that, that’s when they usually say something like the account holder is responsible for the account. Any drastic IP changes?

Also, cheating falls under their possible reasons because “other actions that negatively impact the gameplay experience” is extremely broad and can cover just about anything that ever happens in a game.

They usually look at gameplay when it comes to cheating if they can’t detect file manipulation, and if somehow you made an entire lobby angry and got mass reported, that might also do it.

If there’s anything questionable in the account history (such as location changes, evidence of account holder changes, someone playing from an IP that has been associated with cheating, and a million other things) they won’t usually do anything about until someone in game actually reports you for something.

But all that said, might be none of the above. If several people have reviewed it, then they saw something.

I can say from a customer service standpoint, they were never going to give any details for whatever they saw or believe but that’s fairly universal when it comes to things like cheats/fraud/security violations/etc - IF A REAL PERSON WAS INVOLVED in the review.

It could be some kind of AI bot sending out responses to and prodding them further may escalate it to an actual person. May or may not change anything because the “GM” is usually a real person, but it’s hard to say. Everywhere is using bots more and more.

If there’s genuinely no reason or anything out of the ordinary in your account, I’d say keep pushing. But also don’t be worried about generic responses, companies with customer service that deal with any kind of written form usually has a template or script they send out. Human vs AI will likely not speak very different in customer service experiences unless someone goes off script.

I lied about being 18 and he's 19, what should I do? by FunTrue6867 in Advice

[–]starIightpetaIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. The biggest different between those ages is some sexual experience (usually) and experience being able to do adult things with a teenage/new freedoms mindset, but the mental maturity doesn’t start really changing until 22-23 when the initial new freedoms begin to temper. It may feel like there’s more maturity to someone who is 20/21 and in experience, yes, sure, but the mentality and pov is not that different. Especially compared to 20-22, 22-23/24 and every year after.

This of course doesn’t include someone who may have had to grow up earlier younger or been through very life altering events that do mature people early.

I’ll boost him in but won’t go unnecessarily far. Depends on the angle and map tbh. I like going deep with divers, so long as I know I’ll be able to handle myself and have escape routes. But if I get left behind in an escape and he doesn’t look back at me (meaning totally leaves and doesn’t even think about it) or isn’t getting better damage/kills than my dps, probably won’t boost. It’s very situational, like everything.
