Commitment to Online Safety

July 23rd, 2008

At Elf Island, we take online safety very seriously. We want you and your children to feel comfortable exploring our virtual world, playing games, and making lots of new friends!

Safety is our top priority, so we have plenty of features in the works to assure Elf Island is a safe environment for players of all ages:

Moderators – A team of live Moderators watches Elf Island at all times. They review all chat activity for potentially dangerous discussion and are available to address questions and concerns from players or parents.

Chat dictionary – Elf Island has safe chat through the use of a pre-determined dictionary. If a word is not in our dictionary, then you cannot say it on Elf Island! This helps to cut down on vulgar language, harassment, and the exchange of personal information.

Parental controls – Parents can view their child’s ban history, track their in-game progress, and set limits on the number of hours they are allowed to play each day.

Game downtime – To encourage kids to live an active lifestyle and get plenty of rest, Elf Island closes down at the end of each night.

Approved usernames – All player usernames are reviewed by our Moderation team and must be approved before the user can access the game, using that name.

COPPA compliance – Elf Island will obtain parental permission before allowing any child into our virtual world. Your personal information will never be shared and your child’s account can be canceled at any time!

Of course, the best way to make sure your child is safe is to keep an open line of communication. Elf Island will do our part to keep our players safe, but ultimately this responsibility lies with the parents. Here are a few quick tips to help keep you and your children safe while online.

If you have any questions about Elf Island’s commitment to online safety, feel free to contact: Liz@goodeggstudios.com

Interesting blog entry. Glad to see that safety is a major concern - but lets hope it doesnt go over the top. Seeing how they are posting about safety already, does this mean the game will open soon? I hope so! Very Happy

Smile I'm excited that we might be opening soon!

Online Safety Tips




Online Safety Tips to keep you and your children safe while online:

  • Never reveal any personally identifiable
    information, such as your hometown or birthday, or contact information,
    such as your email address or phone number
  • Never give out your account information, such as usernames and passwords
  • Never give out photos of you, your home or your family
  • Don’t open any email from someone you don’t know
  • If anyone asks for any personal information or
    sends you any threatening messages, don’t answer! Instead, log off and
    make sure your child contacts you immediately.
  • Most important of all - Monitor your child when
    he/she is online, make sure they’re only visiting sites that you have
    approved, and don’t hesitate to ask plenty of questions!

I think the rules seem to be targeting the younger kids who might find this game, I'm hoping that the rules and restrictions are similar to VMK's.

I bet a lot of parents will like the ability to be able to see what thier children have been doing. I really hopw this is a family game with appeal to us "bigger" kids and the small ones Smile

Great they are worried about safety and explaining it to us, also, instead of just naming what they have used.

I keep getting the feeling that the dictionary might be smaller than vmk's.
Anyone else getting that?

Maybe a tad bit smaller, but probably still enough for us to enjoy chatting. jocolor
