i hate admireme

<trashtalking video removed>

 

i was discussing in a private discord about this website and i decided to make this experiment. yes you can buy 18+ stuff with your minor character. no admireme doesn't check your character's age or your real age. you can buy the contents while being a minor and im pretty sure you can sell it while being a minor ooc, and not only it's illegal in a lot of countries but it is also against the rules of this server. why isn't management caring about this stuff? nobody gives a fuck apparently so i had to record it and make this discussion, hopefully i wont get banned. 0 quality control, 0 checks.. just download and delivery.

"you bought it with a minor character tho" it was for this discussion you dumb monkey

video explaination: admireme is the OnlyFans bootleg of GTAW where stinky fat nerds (derogatory) can sell pornographic contents (18+) that they have worked on for hours to get their in game dollars. it's no secret that such characters are the favorite ones in the GTAV community and a platform like that would be of course approved and used. In this video I am making an experiment: will the age of my character (17, minor) block the payment process? of course it doesn't. Everything is in the video: from the mail verification (tempmail) to the character info (name and age) and the content bought. There is no check on the player's real age and character's agen (minors can buy without worring of checks). CENSORED is to hide some of my info because the browser suggests to fill it with my payment bills etc. but you can clearly see that i put random letters and name.

Hopefully just a  development oversight.

However, I do not believe AdmireMe has a place in GTA Roleplay. I think it's detrimental to peoples overall well being.

The fact that it still exists and hasn't been removed by the staff is disgusting. As of today, there is a lot of micromanagement in all other parts of the community (both LFM and IFM), but such a portal is a-okay?

Says ALOT about the state of the server, I didn't even know there was a literal ERP website for GTA:W this has to be the only server in GTA Roleplay to even allow this.

[FatCatTuxedo]

The banking API doesn't have a check for how old the character is, the fact you're using a minor character with online banking is unrealistic in the first place.

 

Also the OOC minor thing, how is the server supposed to know if your a minor OOC or not? Do you expect people to self-dox themselves to prove they are 18 in a roleplay community?

Well, to be fair that is kind of the point of the website. Before AdmireMe the forum/Facebrowser/IG were filled with such content. Now it's all concentrated in one place and it's really easy to avoid seeing content like that - just don't go to the website.

 

I imagine that shutting down the site won't do much, those people would just move back to the forum/Facebrowser/IG and continue there, like previously and more people would come across unwanted content. I'd call it a "necessary evil" and I think it's better as it is right now.

AdmireMe did people a favour of moving this kind of content OFF of Facebrowser, this sort of content was going to exist on GTAWorld whether or not it had a website dedicated to it or not. I'm not sure what the problem is given, it's an OOC oversight to have people be able to buy as a minor (OnlyFans also allows under 18 transactions - With OnlyFans being the main inspo for AdmireMe) and the fact you're using online banking as a minor is unrealistic. So, uhm, I don't really see any issue.

 

People also have to remember, GTA is an 18/Mature rated game.

Online banking as a minor is possible if your account was opened by a parent, it's 2022 not the 90s. That said, the OP is technically in violation of the rules by engaging with said content as a minor character. It is simply not allowed, whether or not AdmireMe allows it or not is irrelevant. You could even argue that it's powergaming too, as the site would realistically require age verification or at the VERY least check your date of birth when registering. As you said, the fact it doesn't is a mere OOC oversight.
