I agree with everything you all said, but I am also referring to "kids" that are 18 and up, just naive as hell and not realising that the men who prey on them have practiced their lines many times and know just how to pick out their victims.

I've known a lot of young men who were raped through gay.com by men who's theory was "This kid isn't out to his parents, so who is he going to tell?" That is why I think there should be some kind of safety net on gay.com, moderators that guys can go to about sex offenders, rapists, etc and possibly take some kind of action against them without getting in trouble. I realise this would involve a lot of bullshit and guys could team up on men they hate to get them banned etc, but I still think something like this is needed.

I realise the same types of things can happen to young men in social situations, but a lot of guys who are shy or closeted and not ready for a real scene start in gay.com and really get into trouble, and have nobody to turn to about it. I know guys who have been raped by men they met in the chatroom, who know that the man who did it still chats there and meets other young men. Surely there is some kind of proactive measure the site owners could take to at least try to cut down on this type of behavior?
