I would say that GameFAQs doesn't have as much of a problem as they could be, but there's still some sketchy people who are worth keeping an eye on. Like it's not so bad that GameFAQs has a MAP problem, is what I'm saying - it's not such a shitshow that MAPs are using this website as a safe harbour to turn child rape into a sexual identity.

With that being said, we do have users who make shitty age of consent topics from time to time, and one of the biggest shitposters when it comes to topics of age of consent and sexual maturity is a guy who claims to have met his wife on IRC when she was 14 and he was 19. It's enough of an issue that I would recommend users to be vigilant in regards to it.

I would say that we have a culture problem when claims like that aren't cracked down upon to the fullest extent that they can be. But that culture problem extends beyond users claiming to have groomed children in online chatrooms. There's a reason people talk shit about how Star Wars spoilers have historically attracted a much harsher punishment than white nationalist rhetoric, and I think that goes to the top of the food chain - though fwiw, Allen seems to have been more active lately, and we did have a pretty solid user purge within the past week or so.

All we can really do as a community is mark this sort of shit and make it clear that it isn't welcome. The system is flawed, but if more people actively used it, maybe we could make more of a dent in this culture issue. I'm at the point where I'm critical of the moderation system, but the userbase probably needs to mark shit more than they have been to highlight the bullshit they don't want to see in this community.
