First of all, I am a parent. There is supposed to be a censored chat, and even though it was enables, the F word came through full and clear. The player that used that word also banned my son from his server and I had read the chat session and I can't see where my son did anything to warrant this behavior. I contacted Blockland support and they told me I didn't have my censor chat enabled (wrong) and that the player that banned my son could do so if he wanted (even though he violated rules himself) and even though they DID NOT review the chat session. In addition, he turned the tables around and accused my child stating that "normally younger children provoke players". This was not the case, they didn't even look into it and they ignore the fact that a safety measure that they have in place does NOT work. They got our money and they don't care. PARENTS....this is not credible behavior by a supposed site that should have safeguards in place. What other filth is being sifted through their supposed filters?

It's awesome. The user that was banned for "troll/retard" is a total idiot and has created a biased review.

The original poster of this review only gave it a bad review because he was banned for being a complete and total dumbass. As long as you have more intelligence than a shovel (and a candy necklace, for that matter), you'll be fine. The community can be harsh at times, but you learn to cope with it. You'll make some friends, and get to talk about anything (well, maybe not EVERYTHING) you want with a group of people who have a diverse array of interests. Did I mention it's the forum for one of the best building games on earth as well? Check it out if you get the chance, just be careful how you make your first impression, or you'll end up like trainman (That's bad). By the way, this is Regulith. <3

Hostile. Online bullying. I was accused of fakely being another User who was banned. Everyone spammed me. Even in the game. After peacefully protecting myself. I was banned for the reason. "Troll/Retard". This site has Gameboy Security. 0/5

Ive been with the community for over two years and I don't plan on leaving any time soon. Its the only forum of which Ive been able to stick with and grow friendships with other members. Although there are quite a few morons on the forum youll have fun flaming them and watching them attempt to fight back :D

This website is filled with kids pulling excuses out of the places you'd least expect. Sure, nice people will be on there, but everything else is just an eye sore. The Off-Topic section is filled with horrible lies, which lead into the Drama section. Drama is basically hell. You'll see older members picking on the new guys because they don't "approve" of them, when the new people are just trying to fit in. Even the new people might not fit in correctly, and they'll bash the regular people, just to cover up something that they did stupid. When I say they, I mean the new guys, they might make a horrible clan, instead of closing it after bad comments, they go on a whole rampage. It's like they're going "HULK SMASH!" and try to smash everyone's reputation. What I'm trying to say is, the blockland forums is just a horrible place to hang out, everyone is just mad and maybe even retarded, especially if you try to share your feelings, they'll just bash you, and put all of their hot steam on other people. If you want a simple place to hang out, blockland forums is not recommended. Seriously, who knew that a great game like blockland could have such a bad forum!

My kids want to download this game, but I cant find anything about it regarding their safety and security, even on their website. Can someone fill me in on some of these details?

Thanks,
Andy

The competitor to Blockland, Roblox, is a licensee of theTRUSTe® Children's Privacy Program, and the company gets an A rating from the BBB as well. I didn't find anything equivalent for Blockland when I took a look around, but it does have an 18,000 user base so it's reasonably mature. If there were major issues with the safety of either, I would have expected to be reading about them easily enough, though you make a good point and while Roblox is up-front about safety, Blockland isn't.

The only issue I came across in a brief look around was some concern over whether the language used in the chat rooms on either site was filtered or not. In the end the topic was so confused I never did find out for sure. But that's certainly one area of concern if you have small children and it's probably worth asking.

I don't know if you've considered this, but most people don't consider emailing the sites or companies they're interested in directly. Yet that can be the quickest way to get the information you need. If it were me I'd probably shoot off an email to the customer service folks at both sites, asking them to address any specific concerns you might have, and see what they come back to you with.

Otherwise, the most likely places to read comments from the users of online games are at fan forums, either independents or on the official home sites, if they have them. Single-topic games forums are usually popular and busy, especially if the games allow user-created modifications, or "mods" as blockland apparently does. There will definitely be "modders" out there chatting on forums about what they've developed. Try using "blockland forum" as a search term in your search engine of choice and see what comes up. You probably won't get the answers you're looking for as such, but reading the conversations of users should give you at least some indication of the type of people who populate it.

There is also YouTube, always a good resource on childrens' and adolescent issues, but then you'll likely have to wade through yards of inane and occasionally profane comments and you'll probably be no wiser at the end of it all. There are several pro-blockland and pro-roblox videos there, anyway.

You might also be aware that Lego itself is shortly to weigh in with its own online game, and that's a company that's going to want to protect its reputation. In under a year that could make both of the other games obsolete, so you might not be looking at a long term commitment to any one of them. No doubt as soon as the official Lego Online advertising hits the TV, the kids are all going to want to go there instead.
