Hi there,
Problems with the bonk.io game are really bad - far beyond previous posts.

Maps of large male genitalia entering rear ends, as well as heterosexual intercourse load on the front page of the game.

For more than 2 days, large pornographic images have dominated the front page of the game - I have seen them dozens of times.

The game support ignores all attempts at contact and is a common complaint among players. Many people have commented on this problem in game.

This is something that ArmorGames staff really need to look at and comment on. It is disgusting and a massive violation of ArmorGames standards.

1 What do you suggest should be done to solve this issue?
2 In what sense is this not a duplicate?

1) That is not my job. ArmorGames has standards where they do not post porn on their site. They like to engage certain age ranges. It is ArmorGames's job to work that out with the game developer(s).

2) irrelevant and argumentative. I am not going to engage you on that.

Which is probably why you aren't being asked to solve it yourself.

ArmorGames has standards where they do not post porn on their site. They like to engage certain age ranges. It is ArmorGames's job to work that out with the game developer(s).

How do you propose they "work that out", then? You're going to need to be more specific about what you want to happen.

2) irrelevant and argumentative. I am not going to engage you on that.
Nice dismissal, but my point stands.

Can staff please do something about this problem or at least indicate they are looking into it?

Thank you

------------------

Fish, please stop.

You agreed that someone isn't responsible for solving something and then demanded they solve it in the same response. This is argumentative trolling just like the other thing you mentioned, I am not going to engage you.

No. You demanded a solution without clarifying what the solution is.

As you well know, the AG staff do not have ultimate control over the content of a hosted game that is external to AG. That's up to the game's developers, and if the developers are not responding to communications, demanding a solution from AG is no more rational than me demanding one from you.

We are well aware of your concerns regarding this issue, Erile. If the previous two threads weren't enough, I will also bring this up directly with our administration team.
I really don't know what AG can do about the issue, except to stop hosting the game. I'm not sure that's the right way to go, however, since it does seem to be a very popular game. I'd hate for a few childish people making inappropriate maps to ruin the fun for everyone.

I can say for a fact that the bonk.io staff does respond to (at least some) complaints and remove (at least some) offensive maps. I wasn't able to see any offensive maps on the front page, but that could just be because of location, time of day, or some other factor.

But ultimately, the choice of whether or not to host the game is up to the admins. Your worries have been noted and brought to their attention, and we appreciate your concern.

Thank you Moegreche. : )

(I started a new thread because the situation changed a lot for the worse with new issues after the first thread)

You could perhaps just edit the OP next time, and add a new post bumping the thread explaining why.

Response to duplication on nichodemus's page.

As a continuance, the problem is far worse once again. The pornographic images are multiple and daily now.

Even worse, there are now maps with hate speech, including racism, sexism, and calls for killing certain groups.

It is disgraceful and disgusting that sickos are being allowed to use the game as a vehicle for statements such as that. I cannot even post them because it would violate ArmorGames rules.

The public posting of such hate speech is literally illegal in my country and many other major democracies. I am definitely done with this game as its been weeks without any improvement.
