It has been reported in the British Press, that the World of Warcraft guild known as the Abhorrent Taboo, has re-emerged under another name.
Many parents will naturally be very concerned by this news, but shouldn't Blizzard, the World of Warcraft game's makers do something more positive than just banning them? Although the game of World of Warcraft is ostensibly for adults, there are probably a vast number of children playing the game, both with and without parental consent.
How are they to know whether their sons and daughters, are straying into this minefield of sexual perversion? Vile Anathema, the renamed guild, is once again trying to recruit new members.
Posted on an internet forum, is a request for people to "play" with six and seven year olds.
Although this is a computer game, there are fears that this may be a grooming ground for pedophiles.
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre, believes that children may be at risk.
After all, it's only a short step that leads to meetings with strangers.
If this is a hunting ground for pedophiles, as one parent warns, then surely Blizzard has the answer at at it's finger tips.
Everyone who buys the game, must have to give personal details of some sort, credit card, address and name, at the very least.
Why don't they just publish the names of these players on the game site, with their home details? After all, we have just been told that all our telephone calls, will now be logged and saved for several years, with various agencies having access to them.
Every computer is unique, so with today's technology, it shouldn't be too difficult to find these perverts, and either name and shame them or, bring them to book.
There is of course the risk that if they were named and shamed, vigilante groups would seek them out, but we do have a police force to deal with that.
If they are not really a threat to anyone, i.
e.
just a group of silly teenagers, then just the threat of this action by Blizzard, might well put an end to such behaviour.
