This is because the chat is mostly being monitored by an automatic chat filter that is trained to look for certain words or phrases, but cannot pick up on the context in which those words and phrases are said.

Warnings can sometimes appear even if the player did not say anything obviously inappropriate.

Warnings are also not recorded in an account's discipline history in the Parent Dashboard. Warnings do not seem to have any effect on a player's account beyond preventing them from moving or interacting with the user interface for a short period of time.

It is commonly believed that getting too many warnings will result in one's account being suspended, however, there is no evidence to support this.

The warning pop-up bears resemblance to the pop-up that appears when a player is suspended.

Some players theorize that the reason 'pop-up' warnings are not used for minor inappropriate phrases as often as they once were is because they have an intimidating nature and may have frightened younger players who did not know they were typing something inappropriate.

After an unknown period of time, the player will be able to say this message again. This warning is somewhat misleading, as the player's chat has not been changed to Restricted Mode or Bubble Chat and they can continue to chat normally, as long as they do not say that message. If the player tries to say the message after sending it ten times in a row, a chat bubble will appear above the player's animal that says in red text: 'Your message was blocked because your chat is in a restrictive mode and you may not be able to use certain words.'.

If a player sends the same message ten times in a row, the chat filter will block them from saying that message for a period of time.

This message is only visible to the player.

In 2011, instead of the aforementioned chat bubble with red text, the message that popped up if a player sent an inappropriate message read 'Uh-oh! Remember the Animal Jam Rules.' in plain text.In recent years, AJHQ has become somewhat less strict, therefore the 'red writing' warning will come up more often than the large warning pop-up. This message is not visible to other players. For phrases that are only violating the rules to a lesser extent, there will instead be a chat bubble above the player's animal that says in red writing: 'Your message was blocked because it may not be appropriate.'.These warnings can also appear when trying to post a message on a Jammer Wall or when trying to send a Jam-A-Gram to another player that the filter detects as inappropriate.The player must simply wait until the pop-up goes away on its own. There is no way to close or minimize the pop-up.The pop-up disappears after a few seconds.

The area outside the pop-up is dimmed out and the player cannot click on anything while the warning is in effect. In the top center there is a brief reason such as personal information, bullying, inappropriate behavior, scamming, etc., as to how a player got this warning, and below is a further explanation. This can be for multiple reasons, including bullying, personal information, inappropriate behavior, and scamming.Ī warning appears as a large beige screen with a hazard sign surrounded by leaves in the upper left corner. A warning that comes up when the filter suspects the player is giving out or asking another player for personal information.Ī warning, also called an alert, is a pop-up that appears when a user says something in chat that is considered inappropriate by the automatic chat filter.
