Public display of affection is not 'natural'. I've seen many people deeply in love who don't feel the need to flaunt that in public. As mentioned, this is a kids site. If it's in private, I'm ok with it, but I'm glad it's considered spam in public.

I am against Online Dating because, since this site is for all ages, I can see how many young people there are in this site, including me.

If we were to not have this rule and people would Date publicly in this site, kids may learn from them. Then we have the parents..

If it's considered as spam then it's fine. Thank you!

I think kids wouldn't even understand people dating. I think they would not follow the adults.

I think I have to say something to this topic.

Online Dating is something that everyone has to decide by themselves. If I accept an invitation to a Blind Date or something, I am responsible for this alone. If two person like each other and like to flirt with each other (in PMs), then let them be happy.

BUT! If someone advertises... naked girls or says something like "meet me for sexual reasons", it should definetely have consequences. We have to protect younger Users, especially as the Internet holds the danger of being anonym.

All in all, offering to date someone in public should be considered SPAM, advertising sexual services is forbidden (the Ad rule). But everyone should be free to flirt as he pleases in PMs.
IF someone gets sexual PMs and feels offended by that, PM a mod or even better Riako with a screenshot of the PM and explain what happens. Maybe even report the User.

Like I've already said, I support here are some reasons YES kids do follow the adults I have seen it in another site (which I think is the one book got this idea from) and it's really annoying AND people could lie about their age and gender to trick people to coming to their house and then, let's say kidnap them or something this should be a rule as it is important

whats the point of this rule?! We are anyways more interested in pokemon that online dating.
what if two people really like themselves and they want to be together, you can´t just go up to them and say :" Oh sorry, but your banned because you two decide to date each other."
If they like post in their feeds, like : " Me and my honeyboo are kissing." that´s wrong.
But if their doing it In PM´s just let it.

This rule would be impossible to enforce or check.
As well as the general consensus being that users should be allowed to date as long as it's a two-way street.
