On Friday of last week, we ran background checks on every Administrator and Moderator on WI to ensure that they are who they claim to be and that they have no criminal backgrounds. Confirming our expectations, all staff members passed these checks with flying colors.

Moving forward, any member that is added to the staff as a Moderator or Administrator will be background checked, as well, to make sure that WI continues to be one of the safest forums on the Internet.

Thank you so much! I wouldn't like some stalker knowing my IP Address

Thank Justin, as a Grandmother this is good news. Keep up the good work. This is a great site for kids and knowing that you are doing everything possible to keep it safe is good to know.

I'm sure this question is covered somewhere in here but I don't know where to look. When I am in the clubhouse, can I mention webkinz insider? I was in the clubhouse today and several webkinz wanted to know when the "green guy" was coming. I innocently told them to check Webkinz Insider for the times he would likely show up. I was warned by another webkinz to stop doing this "or else" I would be banned. I was trying to help. Excuse me, but when I see webkinz harrassing others, using threatening language and "bat words" I fail to see how I am doing something "illegal." Please clarify the rules. Your answer will determine whether or not I will ever set foot in WW again. There seems to be very few things you can say there without getting into trouble. Let me just add this.... I started webkinz when my sister was diagnosed with cancer. We live far from each other and WW was our way of communicating in a fun way and away from traditional e-mail. Through WW, several of us grown women connected and have even met in person for lunch and shopping (for webkinz). With thanks to webkinz, my sister found an escape from the chemo by logging in and entering the clubhouse. Yes, we have had our share of warnings because we discussed the kids and husbands (nothing graphic) but we did get the "pop-up" warnings and changed the subject. It's just a shame that some get away with violent language and we get warned about grounding the kids. Just a thought.

And of course, never doubted the staff!
You all rock! (; Thanks for this amazing site.
It is my favorite site, next to webkinz!

All the staff out there are awesome, thanks for making sure they're totally safe Justin. It would be a shame if we had to get rid of anyone.

It's good to know that is moderated by adults who have all the members' safety in mind. It's reasonable to do a background check. That way, we can have some idea that the people who are moderating, are, ( in fact ) who they say they are. Thanks for keeping it safe.
