Update regarding safety features
Milo Murphy
Hey vrchat! 5 months ago, you released this video: https://youtu.be/PQaeFS0Wfr8?si=0bEGqQrKD00Rdyr-
discussing the plans of future safety systems on your platform, its been real quiet for the past 5 months, you promised changes to be made in the first half of 2026, so i patiently waited, and we're 5 months into the year now and there seems to be no real changes on safety features, i'm just wondering if this is still planned and why its taking so long?

I guess this can be marked as "Complete" now? VRChat published a blog post: Update: Age Assurance, Content Gating, and Safety Improvements in VRChat

All they need to do is to make this game 18+ ngl nothing else will work… But they won’t and we all know why…

The amount of pedophiles in your game, the amount of reports you and your staff has IGNORED Is diabolical. IP BAN PEOPLE i dont get what is so hard when you get messaged PROOF of people being sexual with minors

qlicerose IP bans are easy to get around. You can get a new IP even without a VPN pretty quickly depending on your ISP. Sometimes just restarting your PC and router can grab you a new one.
Hardware ban might work? I'm not sure how that's done though.

Vrchat is far worse than Roblox due to the fact they have even WORSE moderation on the models being made. Ugh too many floppy sagging tits around anytime I log on

vrchat has continuously ignored reports of legitimate grooming & child safety on their platform time and time again and it doesnt shock me that their priorities are still elsewhere after all this time :(

I've seen a reasonably high rate of action taken against people I report. The only two reasons I have seen that a report has been ignored are;
1) Not enough evidence - I.e. video footage wasn't clear on context.
2) The evidence was posted elsewhere first.
VRChat has a policy where they won't take action against evidence uploaded to another platform. I don't know why but I assume because of the possibility of it being edited or taken out of context (though whose to say a directly uploaded video isn't edited).
In terms of it being reported to authorities, their policy says they will share the info with authorities though they aren't going to tell the person reporting because that could compromise an investigation. Whether they do or not idk.
What I can say is that online crimes take years to be actioned against. I have friends who were groomed and have reported directly to authorities. One got a groomer 19 years prison time, after about 1.5 years investigation. Another it's been nearly 2 years since their technology has been returned for evidence collection and no word since - besides finding out a number of victims were involved: so that investigation is likely still going.

My younger sister was nearly groomed by a 28 year old man on this game after playing a fruit merging game with some school friends she has. She is only 14. My parents are highly considering taking legal action due to the nature of her horrific experience on this platform. It is important now more than ever that we see better safety settings implemented to protect the children and not the disgusting adults preying on them. WHERE ARE THE PROMISED SAFETY SETTINGS VRCHAT???

as a victim of grooming on this game we NEED more safety features for minors like me, i've also seen bars that advertise themselves as 18+ but dont age-gate their instances, its fucking disgusting.

the prints can detect nsfw and stop from uploading, why cant you do that with other stuff like avatars?, either make the game 18+ or limit what people can do, accounts should default to under 18 until verified and auto hide nsfw stuff. avatars tagged with suggestive content should not been seen by accounts not age verified!! it would take you like 10mins to make these changes!!
