Adult Content and the Family Filter

Adult content and the family filter

The 'family filter' prevents the listing of A (adults only) rated chat rooms, which may contain content that is unsuitable for users under the age of 18, or those who are easily offended by foul language or nudity.

The family filter and ratings do NOT apply to IM or individual messages as they are considered to be private communication. You may block or remove offensive users from your friends list.

Matrix Messenger chat rooms use a rating system similar to the movie industry.

G rated chat rooms have no foul language or nudity.
R rated chat rooms may contain foul language but no nudity.
A rated chat rooms may contain foul language and nudity.

You can turn the 'family filter' on and off from the 'chat room list window'.

When you turn the adult content filter on in one area of Matrix Messenger, it takes effect on all chat room lists, including the search feature.

WARNING - You MUST be over 18 years old to view adult content!

Adult content is not displayed by default and you will only be able to view a list of G and R rated chat rooms and categories.

To enable the listing of chat rooms that contain A rated content, click the 'Show adult and restricted rooms' button.

To disable the listing of adult content, click the 'Show adult and restricted rooms' button again.

Please note that according to the Matrix Messenger terms of service, you and you alone are responsible for your own or your children's activities on the Matrix Messenger system. Children under the age of 13 are absolutely forbidden to use Matrix Messenger in any way. Children between the ages of 13 and 18 MUST be under constant adult supervision.
