    Hmm... No, too much info, could you make it a bit more vague, just to be sure?

    Seriously, yes and, what else? Wrong people to ask that.

    wrong place for this question. read the game licensing terms or ask support.
    if a program has a chat service,then it is usually stored in the servers for a period of time as a standard practice.
    but this may have nothing to do with your vague statement.

    i have recently read that a certain well known person (whos name will not be mentioned since it is against the rules) has a criminal record involving young people.

    here is my question: does the community of this game have a right to know if someone they are interacting with has this situation?

    here is my second question: how does cryptic handle this type of situation? do they moniter who this person is interacting with in game?

    @jodarkrider

    I'm pretty sure this post itself is against ToS. You shouldn't be posting stuff like this as it could lead to accusations being levelled at innocent people!

    You shouldn't be taking zone chat seriously, OP. Or posting veiled accusations based on it.

    Guess we can answer one of the Op's questions:

    Does the game consumers have a right to know if a player has a criminal record?
    The answer to that would be 'no'.
    It would require that you know who that player actually is, as well as what laws are in effect where that person lives - 2 things that are not really allowed to be given out by the game license and the laws of many countries.
    Doesn't matter what law. Doesn't matter who.
    All that matters is the license agreement.
    Anything else is debatable and up to the company, not the community.

    Which I guess answers your other question, too, since it is moot.

    Now if there was a hacking issue, then Cryptic could report it to the FEDs if it was taking place within the US or one of their sister groups outside of it.

    Think that sums up most of it.

    here is my question: does the community of this game have a right to know if someone they are interacting with has this situation?

    - How are you going to prove this is true to anyone here or at Cryptic without violating Terms of Service?
    - What if the information you have is incorrect or incomplete?
    - What if it is fake news made up to discredit someone who is innocent?
    - Are you willing to be sued for libel and slander?
    - Do you have enough financial support to be successful as the defendant of such a suit?
    - Are you aware such a person has a probation officer? Whose job it is to monitor their activities continually?
    - Are you aware that as part of their terms of probation, they are probably forbidden contact with minors under any circumstances?
    - Have you made any attempt to contact the jurisdiction they reside in? To inform the proper authorities of a possible probation violation?
    here is my second question: how does cryptic handle this type of situation? do they moniter who this person is interacting with in game?

    - Are you willing to sacrifice the quality and content of this game for Cryptic to assume the additional expense and man hours such an activity would require?

    I know far more about this subject than I ever cared to find out. My sister, who is now deceased, was a registered sex offender. As such I have personal intimate knowledge of what such a person is and more importantly is not allowed to do. If you truly have concerns about this topic, then contacting local law enforcement with admissable evidence is the correct procedure. And doing so ASAP, instead of merely appearing to be concerned and wanting to look good by posting here. Posting this here is irresponsible and reckless. And will cause more harm than good.

    The only person who benefits from this posting is you. By pretending to be concerned and active in making children safe in front of an audience.

    Seriously OP, this is not a suitable subject to bring up. Whether you are asking a hypothetical question or are actually referring to someone connected to the game (player or otherwise) does not make it right. Posting personal information about others especially of this nature is not your job/mission/right.

    This thread doesn't just need closed but should be removed totally.

    Jodarkrider doesn't need to just close this thread. The OP deserves a permaban both from the forums and the game. I am really angry about this. To act so irresponsibly is dangerous. I prefer not to be reminded of the terrible things my sister did. The OP has wounded me personally with his careless, thoughtless and entirely self serving act. Which should have serious consequences. But this is the InterWebs. Where people do wrong things daily and get away with them.

    I come here to escape from the cares and pressures of the real world. To have a bit of fun with something I have enjoyed my whole life. And some idiot jerkwad who thinks it is his job to be John Frakkin' Law posts this TRIBBLE! Not to be helpful. Not to protect children from sexual predators. Merely to rumor monger and make veiled accusations all in the purpose of making himself look like some sort of Concerned Citizen Who Cares.

    Thanks OP. For reminding me of the horrible things my dead sister did. In the middle of something I really like. And during the holidays, too. You are such a shining example of what Humanity is. I would cheerfully and unreservedly get myself banned from here without a second's hesitation if it meant you went with me. People like you are the ones the rest of us need protection from.

    This game follows the general rules of the wider Internet - always be wary of who you talk to, a lot of people are not who they appear to be.

    Like the wider internet, the people that are allowed to play this game cannot be controlled in any form or fashion by the games developers and moderators.

    The internet is packed with strange people from all over the world. Remember, there is just one server for the whole planet effectively, and nobody has any real way of knowing who anyone else is.

    You only need an anonymous email address to sign up to this game.

    On console its even easier, with people using multiple profiles in the game all linked to one master account that shares out the gold. Even Microsoft could not tell you anything about the people using its networks, there is no way of gathering this info.

    Wait, wut!? What happened?!

    On the other hand, maybe I'm better off not knowing.
