can they really let a game that is open to all ages be used to do this sort of thing?

Just to correct you on your blunder, Plarium is open only to players who are 13 years and older. To play the game when you're younger you will need permission from your parents/guardians. 

Looking at the age of 13, I don't see anything wrong with the PM. 

What I am concerned about is the time it took the spammer to manupulate a new feature and use it for his gains. This is the greatest blunder on Plarium developing team. 

do you really think it's ok to give 13+ year olds links to dating websites with sex pics?

and Really Moderators SHOULD know settings to stop them.. instead of allowing it to happen and report them..  

Hello.

At the moment, such users should be reported to the Support team: https://plariumsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

In the future, devs will add option "Report as Spam". Sorry for these inconveniences :(

Living in Africa is not a excuse, and btw, not all countries in the Africa is just as worse.  Would I expose kids at that age for this? No, they soon enough start to explore that for themselves. Should 13 yr olds even be able to play Stromfall? No, I don't think so. This game should come with an PEGI 18+ label. Just because of the interaction with other players. Also, its not like Plarium doesn't play on sexual inuendos and graphics. Some of the advertisement banners I seen on the Internet could just as well been for some softcore adult movie.  

WOW

You really have some issues, ''where most of Africa want to run off too..'' But then again I shouldn't have judged a book by its colour, or rather by its words. 

Well Plarium have its rules, like any fantasy game, players tend to delve in certain areas that are not appropriate for certain age group. Sharing such pictures that have been described by the spammer will be illegal, and constitute minor rape in my country. But that is not the responsibility of Plarium, kids are exposed to this kind of things from a very young age(hip hop/rap/music), I mean how many parents have bought their kids a Sausage party DVD, or taken em to watch the movie when it first come out. 

Don't blame Plarium, Blame the culture. IF you allow your kid to play Plarium or any RPG , you should be fully aware of the stuff that might happen, and should fully train your kid to handle them, like reporting em to support.

Well, looking at migration from Africa into Europe... 

You can claim its the parents fault if they allow kids to play certain games. But games comes with a PEGI rating for a reason (For most parts). When it come to mmo's and player interaction. There is a lot of talk, and topics that might come up in guild chat, teamspeak and so forth that is of a grown up nature not suitable for kids. Sausage party? Just do NOT google that, lol. I know what you mean, but the phrase can lead to nasty stuff.. fast.

When I play a online game I don't want to end up be some parents babysitter who have to "thread gently" to shelter their kids. As for Plarium, they do have advertisement banners for their games that play on sexual inuendos. Just look at the "assassin" unit as example. (or any other of the female units just about). its nothing Plarium is alone about. But of course it will also attract spam such as this due to the adult apperance of the game. Where such things like "my little pony", pokemon, carebears and whatever, typical oriented towards kids would not, because there would not be a market for such spam there.
