Grophland is above all a family environment. We have many adult players, and many children as well, of all sorts of ages, and we take the safety of all of our users, young and old, very seriously. Grophland does not ask users for personal information (other than an email address to send your password) such as location, age, gender, real name, or anything else, and we strongly encourage all of our users not to give such information out to anyone else. We have an active policy of removing players who phish for such information, and of advising our users how best to stay safe online. If you join Grophland you will not find it full of personal adds, photos, and the like.
Grophland has a very active (and proactive) team of staff (Moderators and Wizards) who constantly monitor the discussion forums, respond to complaints, handle problem users, and work to keep the site safe. New users are often amazed by the quick and friendly responses of Grophland's staff, and we are proud of the job we do. Above all Grophland is a place to feel safe, happy, and relaxed.
We don't really advise that children younger than 9 use Grophland on their own, and we would encourage parents to monitor the usage of older children as well. Regardless, however, we do not ask for ages and work to make sure that Grophland is suitable for all, children and adults alike.
